Introduction Faculty of Science, University of The spider fauna from Sabah remains poorly explored. Besides the general book [e.g. 6, 13, 20] and Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, several species notes (e.g. description of new species), there is lack of comprehensive studies Malaysia. [e.g. 10, 12] documenting the biodiversity of spiders from Sabah. These previous data are very important to serve as a base for future studies. Unfortunately, the information is scattered, which Juhaida H School of Environmental and makes it difficult to determine the actual proportions of spider fauna for this large state. At least [9] Natural Resource Sciences, 550 spider species are estimated to be present in the tree canopy of Sabah . About 543 species Faculty of Science and from neighboring Brunei [13], roughly 307 species from Sarawak [14], and approximately 305 Technology, Universiti species had been officially recorded from Kalimantan [24, 29]. The estimated numbers usually Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 represent species that are common and easily found, while inadequate information for the Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia existence on small, cryptic and undescribed species had been verified. To provide a brief insight Faszly R and nurture the local interest on spider fauna of Sabah, we printed a poster on spiders of Malaysia (3)Centre for Insects Systematics, in dual languages (English and Bahasa Malaysia) in 2013. The poster contains 32 species at Faculty of Science and technology, genus level to demonstrate the variation in appearance to trigger some interest to the local Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, researcher and public communities. The present paper is a compilation of information from 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. many available literatures, from scientific expedition and other field collections. This first series (4)School of Environmental and inventory aims to offer valuable information and can be used as a general guideline for future Natural Resource Sciences, research on spiders from Sabah.

Material & Methods Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia Specimens were photographed and collected by hand during the fieldtrip throughout Sabah from November 2010 to December 2011 (Figure 1).

Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

  • Kinabulu Park Malaysia
    KINABULU PARK MALAYSIA Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain between the Himalayas and New Guinea, dominates this park in the state of Sabah on the northern tip of Borneo. The Park’s altitudinal and climatic gradient from tropical lowland and hill rainforest through tropical montane forest to sub-alpine forest and scrub combined with steep slopes, varied geology and frequent climatic oscillations provide ideal conditions for speciation. The Park has a diverse biota and high endemism and is a Centre of Plant Diversity containing species from the Himalayas, China, Australia and Malaysia as well as pan- tropical flora. Most of Borneo’s mammals, birds, amphibians and invertebrates many of which are threatened and vulnerable, occur in the Park. COUNTRY Malaysia NAME Kinabalu Park NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SITE 2000: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria ix and x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE [pending] The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription: Justification for Inscription Criteria (ix) and (x): The site has a diverse biota and high endemism. The altitudinal and climatic gradient from tropical forest to alpine conditions combine with precipitous topography, diverse geology and frequent climate oscillations to provide conditions ideal for the development of new species. The Park contains high biodiversity with representatives from more than half the families of all flowering plants. The majority of Borneo’s mammals, birds, amphibians and invertebrates (many threatened and vulnerable) occur in the Park. IUCN MANAGEMENT CATEGORY II National Park BIOGEOGRAPHICAL PROVINCE Borneo (4.25.13) GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION The site is in the Malaysian State of Sabah in northern Borneo 83 km west of Kota Kinabalu, the state capital, between 6o00’25’’ to 6 o29’48’’N and 116 o21’30’’ to 116 o45’ 00’’E.

Sipman Botanischer Garten und Museum, Königin-Luise-Str. 6-8, 14115 Berlin, Germany Abstract: 286 species of lichenized fungi on Mount Kinabalu are recorded by field survey and investigation of literature records and herbarium material. An annotated catalogue is presented, together with habitat notes, and a list of collectors. The summit area has a saxicolous lichen flora of boreal affinities, while the lower zones are more closely related to other SE Asian mountains. Eleven species appear to be restricted to the mountain, and four new species are described: Phaeographis kinabalensis, Stereocaulon granulans, Pertusaria epitheciifera and Thelotrema subweberi. 1.
