SACHER, Wittenberg Bibliographie zur Spinnentierfauna der ostdeutschen Bundesländer (Arachnida: Araneae, Opiliones, Pseudoscorpiones) Schluß Summary The German arachnological literature is distributed among the whole range of scientific print-media. As a result of this it has become more and more difficult to consider all relevant information in preparation for further studies, especially faunistic projects. To improve the situation the East-Ger- man Spider Study Group (Arbeitskreis Arachnologie) has published bibliographies since 1982. Three parts have come out till now. They exclusively contain papers with faunistic dates to lay a foundation for a regional fauna. This bibliography will be the last one of the series. All four parts contain 637 references. The authors would be obliged for additional information about literature they have possibly overlooked. Résum é Jusqu’ici on a présenté 3 parts de la bibliographie sur la faune des araignées de l’Allemagne de l’Est. Cette bibliographie est tome 4 et termine la série.

    Nieuwsbr. Belg. Arachnol. Ver. (2009),24(1-3): 1 Jean-Pierre Maelfait 1 juni 1951 – 6 februari 2009 Nieuwsbr. Belg. Arachnol. Ver. (2009),24(1-3): 2 In memoriam JEAN-PIERRE MAELFAIT Kortrijk 01/06/1951 Gent 06/02/2009 Jean-Pierre Maelfait is ons ontvallen op 6 februari van dit jaar. We brengen hulde aan een man die veel gegeven heeft voor de arachnologie in het algemeen en meer specifiek voor onze vereniging. Jean-Pierre is altijd een belangrijke pion geweest in het bestaan van ARABEL. Hij was medestichter van de “Werkgroep ARABEL” in 1976 en op zijn aanraden werd gestart met het publiceren van de “Nieuwsbrief” in 1986, het jaar waarin ook ARABEL een officiële vzw werd. Hij is eindredacteur van de “Nieuwsbrief” geweest van 1990 tot en met 2002. Sinds het ontstaan van onze vereniging is Jean-Pierre achtereenvolgens penningmeester geweest van 1986 tot en met 1989, ondervoorzitter van 1990 tot en met 1995 om uiteindelijk voorzitter te worden van 1996 tot en met 1999. Pas in 2003 gaf hij zijn fakkel als bestuurslid over aan de “jeugd”. Dit afscheid is des te erger omdat Jean- Pierre er na 6 jaar afwezigheid terug een lap ging op geven, door opnieuw bestuurslid te worden in 2009 en aldus verkozen werd als Secretaris. Alle artikels in dit nummer opgenomen worden naar hem opgedragen. Jean-Pierre Maelfait nous a quitté le 6 février de cette année. Nous rendons hommage à un homme qui a beaucoup donné dans sa vie pour l’arachnologie en général et plus particulièrement pour Arabel. Jean-Pierre a toujours été un pion important dans la vie de notre Société.

  • Spiders (Araneae) of the Abandoned Pasture Near the Village of Malé Kršteňany (Western Slovakia)
    Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae, 2: 39–56, 2017, ISSN 2543-8832 DOI: 10.24917/25438832.2.3 Valerián Franc*, Michal Fašanga Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Matej Bel University, Tajovského 40, 97401 Banská Bystrica, *[email protected] Spiders (Araneae) of the abandoned pasture near the village of Malé Kršteňany (Western Slovakia) Introduction Our research site is located on the SE slope of the hill of Drieňový vrch (cadaster of the village of Malé Kršteňany). It is the southernmost edge of the Strážovské vrchy Mountains (Mts) (48°55ʹ46ʹʹN; 18°26ʹ05ʹʹE), separated from the central massif by the river ow Nitrica. is area is considerably inuenced by human activity: In the past, it had massive deforestation and agricultural use (mainly as pasture), recently, it is dominated by mining activities (several quarries). e whole area is out of the territo- rial protection, with the exception of the little Nature reserve Veľký vrch, surrounded by two quarries, and the le one is more or less abandoned. In the past, this area was used mainly for grazing, but this is currently very limited. Our research site is an aban- doned pasture; therefore, ecological succession is carried out intensively here. Forgot- ten aer-utility areas (abandoned quarries, pastures, industrial sites) are usually con- sidered to be ‘sterile’ and unattractive for zoological research, but this may not always correspond to reality. Even in our research site, we have carried out several rare and surprising ndings. We would like to present the results of our research in this paper. It is sad, but a large amount of abandoned pastures is scattered throughout Slova- kia.

  • Do Incremental Increases of the Herbicide Glyphosate Have Indirect Consequences for Spider Communities?
    2002. The Journal of Arachnology 30:288±297 DO INCREMENTAL INCREASES OF THE HERBICIDE GLYPHOSATE HAVE INDIRECT CONSEQUENCES FOR SPIDER COMMUNITIES? James R. Bell: School of Life Sciences, University of Surrey Roehampton, Whitelands College, West Hill, London SW15 3SN, UK Alison J. Haughton1: Crop and Environment Research Centre, Harper Adams University College, Newport, Shropshire, TF10 8NB, UK Nigel D. Boatman2: Allerton Research and Educational Trust, Loddington House, Loddington, Leicestershire, LE7 9XE, UK Andrew Wilcox: Crop and Environment Research Centre, Harper Adams University College, Newport, Shropshire, TF10 8NB, UK ABSTRACT. We examined the indirect effect of the herbicide glyphosate on ®eld margin spider com- munities. Glyphosate was applied to two replicated (n 5 8 per treatment) randomized ®eld experiments over two years in 1997±1998. Spiders were sampled using a modi®ed garden vac monthly from May± October in the following treatments: 1997 comprised 90g, 180g, & 360g active ingredient (a.i.) glyphosate ha21 treatments and an unsprayed control; 1998 comprised 360g, 720g and 1440g a.i. glyphosate ha21 treatments and an unsprayed control. We examined the indirect effect of glyphosate on the spider com- munity using DECORANA (DCA), an indirect form of gradient analysis. We subjected DCA-derived Euclidean distances (one a measure of beta diversity and the other a measure of variability), to the scrutiny of a repeated measures ANOVA design. We found that species turnover and cluster variation did not differ signi®cantly between treatments. We attribute the lack of any effect to a large number of common agricultural species which are never eliminated from a habitat, but are instead signi®cantly reduced.

    Behavioral Ecology Symposium ’96: Cushing 165 MYRMECOMORPHY AND MYRMECOPHILY IN SPIDERS: A REVIEW PAULA E. CUSHING The College of Wooster Biology Department 931 College Street Wooster, Ohio 44691 ABSTRACT Myrmecomorphs are arthropods that have evolved a morphological resemblance to ants. Myrmecophiles are arthropods that live in or near ant nests and are considered true symbionts. The literature and natural history information about spider myrme- comorphs and myrmecophiles are reviewed. Myrmecomorphy in spiders is generally considered a type of Batesian mimicry in which spiders are gaining protection from predators through their resemblance to aggressive or unpalatable ants. Selection pressure from spider predators and eggsac parasites may trigger greater integration into ant colonies among myrmecophilic spiders. Key Words: Araneae, symbiont, ant-mimicry, ant-associates RESUMEN Los mirmecomorfos son artrópodos que han evolucionado desarrollando una seme- janza morfológica a las hormigas. Los Myrmecófilos son artrópodos que viven dentro o cerca de nidos de hormigas y se consideran verdaderos simbiontes. Ha sido evaluado la literatura e información de historia natural acerca de las arañas mirmecomorfas y mirmecófilas . El myrmecomorfismo en las arañas es generalmente considerado un tipo de mimetismo Batesiano en el cual las arañas están protegiéndose de sus depre- dadores a través de su semejanza con hormigas agresivas o no apetecibles. La presión de selección de los depredadores de arañas y de parásitos de su saco ovopositor pueden inducir una mayor integración de las arañas mirmecófílas hacia las colonias de hor- migas. Myrmecomorphs and myrmecophiles are arthropods that have evolved some level of association with ants. Myrmecomorphs were originally referred to as myrmecoids by Donisthorpe (1927) and are defined as arthropods that mimic ants morphologically and/or behaviorally.

    Nieuwsbrief SPINED 32 2 ON SOME SPIDERS FROM GARGANO, APULIA, ITALY Steven IJland Gabriel Metzustraat 1, 2316 AJ Leiden ([email protected]) Peter J. van Helsdingen European Invertebrate Survey – Nederland, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, Netherlands ([email protected]) Jeremy Miller Naturalis Biodiversity Center, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, Netherlands ([email protected]) ABSTRACT In the springtime of 2011, 507 adult spiders (plus 7 identifiable subadults) representing a total of 135 species were collected in Gargano, Apulia, Italy. A list of collected spiders is given. Zelotes rinske spec. nov. is described after a single female. Dictyna innocens O. P.-Cambridge, 1872, Leptodrassus femineus (Simon, 1873), Nomisia recepta (Pavesi, 1880), Zelotes criniger Denis, 1937, Pellenes brevis (Simon, 1868), and Salticus propinquus Lucas, 1846 are reported for the first time from mainland Italy. Illustrations are provided of the problematic species Dictyna innocens O. P.-Cambridge, 1872. The poorly- known female of Araeoncus altissimus Simon, 1884 is described and depicted. 141 specimens representing 105 species were DNA barcoded. Key words: Araneae, barcoding, Zelotes rinske INTRODUCTION In the springtime of 2011, two of the authors (PJvH and SIJ) made a trip to Gargano in Italy in order to study spiders. Gargano is a peninsula situated in the province of Apulia (Puglia) and is known as the “spur” of the Italian “boot” (fig. 1). The Gargano promontory is rich in karst structures like caves and dolines. It has a very rich flora and fauna, and is known as one of the richest locations for orchids in Europe with some 56 species, some of which are endemic.
