Bildungsarbeit, wo in den Empfängern eben- falls „Wissen geschaffen“ wird. Der Auftrag an die Staatlichen Naturwissenschaftlichen Sammlungen Bayerns (SNSB) umfasst beide Aspekte, die auch 2018 mit wesentliche Fortschritten und Erfolgen aufwarten können: Die Planungsarbeiten für die Erweiterung des Museums Mensch und Natur zu BIOTOPIA – Naturkundemu- seum Bayern schreiten unter der Leitung des Gründungsdirektors, Prof. Dr. Michael John Gorman, weiter voran. Die Abgabe der entsprechenden „Haushaltunterlage Bau“ ist aktuell bis zum Jahresende geplant, ab Frühjahr 2020 soll das Museum Mensch und Natur geschlossen werden. Da kein Tag ohne Museum vergehen soll, wird für die Interims- bzw. Bauzeit das BIOTOPIA-Lab in einem bereits adaptierten Untergeschoß des Botanikgebäudes seinen Betrieb aufnehmen. Die von der LMU geleitete Planung des Neubaus für das Department für Geo- und Umweltwissenschaf- ten im Bereich Schillerstraße-Pettenkoferstraße der Münchner Innenstadt mit den SNSB-Sammlungen aus Paläontologie, Geologie und Mineralogie schreitet zügig voran. Ab Sommer 2019 wird das Planungsteam für das zukünftige „Forum Geowissenschaften“ seine Arbeit aufnehmen, eine einmalige Chance, interessierte Öffentlichkeit wie Fachwelt über Grundlagen und aktuelle Forschung der Geowissenschaften anschaulich und didaktisch hochwertig zu informieren. Die Neugier ist in der Bevölkerung ohne Zweifel vorhanden, aber ohne entsprechende Wissensvermittlung bleibt jeder Versuch, Bürger*innen zum Handeln zu bewegen, auf der rein emotionalen Ebene hängen. Auch die übrigen größeren Bauprojekten der SNSB schreiten voran – mein Dank gebührt dabei insbesondere unserem Baubeauftragten und (nunmehr im wohlverdienten Ruehstand befindlichen) Generalsekretär, LtRD Matthias Hüttenhofer: (1) Die Sanierung und Adaptierung des Ostflügels des Botanikgebäudes ist nahezu abgeschlossen. (2) Die Generalsanierung der Zoologischen Staatssammlung (Heizung, Klimaanlage, Alarm- und Brandschutzanlage, Laborneueinrichtung), kombiniert mit der Kompaktierung mehrerer Magazine ist im Zeitplan, wird aber noch für längere Zeit entsprechende Einschränkungen verursachen. Knapp vor „Redaktionsschluss“ dieses Berichtes ist es erfreulicherweise gelungen, für das Juramuseums Eichstätt einen neuen Träger, die Stiftung Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, zu gewinnen. Mein besonderer Dank ergeht dabei an Frau MRin Isabelle Luber, die mit unermüdlichem Einsatz viele große Hür- den überwunden hat und auch die Weichenstellung für die dort anstehende Sanierung und Neugestaltung in die Wege geleitet hat. Ein herzliches Willkommen und zugleich Dank und Anerkennung für den Zeitaufwand und sehr hilfreiche zukunftsweisende Ratschläge richte ich an den Beirat der SNSB und insbesondere an den Vorsitzen, Prof. Dr. Jörg Overmann. Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass die schon getroffenen und geplanten Maßnahmen zur Zukunfts- und Konkurrenzfähigkeit der SNSB Erfolg zeigen. Überaus hilfreich sind dabei die zusätzlichen Mittel, die aus dem Pakt für Forschung und Innovation mit dem Staatministerium zum Einsatz gebracht werden können und die bereits für viele Neuimpulse gesorgt haben. Ungebrochen eindrucksvoll sind die Forschungs- und Publikationsleistungen der SNSB, die an der Spitze aller deutschen naturkundlichen Forschungsmuseen liegen. Ein herzlicher Dank ergeht hier nicht nur an die beteiligten Wissenschaftler*innen, sondern nicht minder an das Team der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit unter Frau Dr. Natzer, welches diese Leistungen hoch professionell auch an die Medien weiterleitet und damit für Poli- tik und Gesellschaft aufbereitet. Die aktuellen breiten Diskussionen zu Klimawandel und Artensterben sind eine Chance für die SNSB, durch entsprechende Forschungsinitiativen und wissensbasierte Bildungsarbeit direkt gesellschaftspolitische Wirkung zu erzielen – denn auch hier gilt: der Kampf wird letztlich auf der Wis- 4 Bericht des Generaldirektors sens- und Bildungsebene entschieden werden. Faunistik und Floristik (Artenverbreitung und deren Verände- rung) sind wieder hochaktuell geworden – und jeder professionelle Blick dazu in die Vergangenheit (erst der Vergleich macht sicher) heißt Sammlungen. In der Tat gibt es derzeit so viele einschlägige Projektaufrufe auf Landes- Bundes- und EU-Ebene, dass wir an Kapazitätsgrenzen stoßen. Die Gesamt-Besucherzahlen der SNSB-Museen und des Botanischen Gartens von 2018 sind – trotz der aktuell massiven Doppelbelastung im Museum Mensch und Natur und einem Rekordsommer – mit 666.166 konstant hoch, ein eindrucksvoller Beleg für die hohe Leistungsbereitschaft und -dichte auch im Ausstellungs- bereich.

ZooKeys 440: 57–87. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.440.7891 Abstract In order to resolve better the deep relationships among salticid spiders, we compiled and analyzed a mo- lecular dataset of 169 salticid taxa (and 7 outgroups) and 8 gene regions. This dataset adds many new taxa to previous analyses, especially among the non-salticoid salticids, as well as two new genes – wingless and myosin heavy chain. Both of these genes, and especially the better sampled wingless, confirm many of the relationships indicated by other genes.

  • Diet of the Invasive Lizard Chamaeleo Jacksonii (Squamata: Chamaeleonidae) at a Wet-Forest Site in Hawai‘I1
    Diet of the Invasive Lizard Chamaeleo jacksonii (Squamata: Chamaeleonidae) at a Wet-Forest Site in Hawai‘i1 Fred Kraus2,3 and David Preston2 Abstract: We assessed diet from a sample of Jackson’s chameleons inhabiting wet forest in Volcano Village, Hawai‘i Island, Hawai‘i. Most lizards contained food in their gastrointestinal tract, diet was broad, and large numbers of inverte- brates, mostly insects, were consumed. Native insects composed the largest component of dietary items, and these spanned most of the body-size range found in the native invertebrate community. Taxonomic composition of diets does not conform to expectations for iguanian lizards inasmuch as hymenopter- ans form only a small portion of consumed items. Insect chemical or stinging defenses did not preclude consumption by lizards. The study site is a mixture of native and alien vegetation. Chameleons collected from alien plants contained larger numbers of native prey items than did those lizards removed from native plants, suggesting that lizard residency on non-native plants will not reduce their predation impact on native invertebrates in mixed forest. Our results confirm the finding of a similar study in dry-forest habitat on Maui that Jackson’s chame- leons are likely to pose a substantial threat to a broad range of native invertebrate biodiversity in Hawai‘i. Chamaeleo jacksonii Boulenger, 1896, is a they seem capable of posing a severe con- medium-sized (snout – vent length up to ∼160 servation threat to many native arthropods mm) lizard native to humid and wet forests of (Kraus et al. 2012).

    The faunistic diversity of spiders (Arachnida, Araneae) of the Savanna Biome in South Africa S.H. Foord1, A.S. Dippenaar-Schoeman2& C.R Haddad3 1Department of Zoology, Centre for Invasion Biology, University of Venda, Private Bag X5050, Thohoyandou, 0950, South Africa 2 ARC-Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X134, Queenswood 0121/Department of Zoology &Entomology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0001, South Africa 3Department of Zoology & Entomology, University of the Free State, P.O. Box 339, Bloemfontein 9300, South Africa Invertebrates include more than 80% of all animals, yet they are severely under-represented in studies of southern African diversity. Site biodiversity estimates that do not consider invertebrates, not only omit the greatest part of what they are attempting to measure, but also ignore major contributors to essential ecosystem processes. All available information on spider species distribution in the South African Savanna Biome was compiled. This is the largest biome in the country,occupying over one third of the surface area.A total of 1230 species represented by 381genera and 62 families are known from the biome. The last decade has seen an exponential growth in the knowledge of the group in South Africa, but there certainly are several more species that have to be discovered, and the distribution patterns of those listed are partly unknown. Information is summarized for all quarter degree squares of the biome and reveals considerable inequalities in knowledge. At a large scale the eastern region is much better surveyed than the western parts, but at smaller scales throughout the region, several areas have little information.

Maddison ([email protected]) Academic editor: Jeremy Miller | Received 28 May 2016 | Accepted 4 August 2016 | Published 1 September 2016 http://zoobank.org/4F84989F-A4D6-49EF-B5E9-2058BB0EDF00 Citation: Maddison WP (2016) Sumakuru, a deeply-diverging new genus of lyssomanine jumping spiders from Ecuador (Araneae: Salticidae). ZooKeys 614: 87–96. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.614.9368 Abstract The lyssomanine jumping spider genusSumakuru gen. n. is here described for Sumakuru bigal sp. n., from the Bigal River Biological Reserve in Ecuador. Known from a single male, the embolus of the palp takes the form of a smoothly arching curve, and appears fully mobile, being connected to the tegulum by a thin sclerite and a twisted hematodocha. Data from four gene regions (28S, 16SND1, CO1, wingless) indicate that Sumakuru is the sister group to all other sampled lyssomanines, diverging deeply on the stem lineage of the clade of other known lyssomanines. Unlike previous molecular results, the sampled species of Lyssomanes Hentz, 1845 are supported as monophyletic, with Chinoscopus Simon, 1900 as the sister to Lyssomanes. Keywords Jumping spider, Lyssomaninae, molecular phylogeny, new genus, new species Introduction The distinctive lyssomanine jumping spiders include two described genera,Lysso - manes Hentz, 1845 and Chinoscopus Simon, 1900, both neotropical (Galiano 1962, 1980; Logunov and Marusik 2003; Maddison 2015).

    FOUR JUMPING SPIDER GENERA OF THE COCALODES-GROVV ARE MONOPHYLETIC WITH GENERA OF THE SPARTAEINAE (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE) A.C RODRIGO1 & R.R. JACKSON2 department of Zoology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand & 2Department of Zoology, University of Canterbury, Private Bag, Christchurch, New Zealand. (Received 6 January 1992; revised and accepted 30 March 1992) ABSTRACT Rodrigo, A.G. & Jackson, R.R. (1992). Four jumping spider genera of the Cocalodes-group are monophyletic with genera of the Spartaeinae (Araneae: Salticidae). New Zealand Natural Sciences 19: 61-67. Wanless (1984a) erected a new sub-family, the Spartaeinae, to contain all members of the incorrectly named Boethinae except the genera Allococalodes, Cocalodes, Holcolaetis, and Sonoita. These were excluded from the sub-family because they possessed a median tegular apophysis on the male palp, a feature which Wanless believed to be synapomorphy of the group, and one which separated the group from members of the Spartaeinae. Our phylogenetic analysis of the extant members of the Spartaeinae, and the "Cocalodes-group" indicate that the latter are monophyletic with other genera of the sub-family. An amended definition of the sub-family is provided. KEYWORDS: Spartaeinae - "Cocalodes-group" - phylogeny - monophyly - quasi-polymorphic coding. INTRODUCTION however, that these genera are closely affiliated with members of the Spartaeinae and another Wanless (1984a) erected the jumping spider allied sub-family, the Lyssomaninae

  • Spartaeine Salticids: a Summary and Request for Specimens

Pagination of the original document has been retained. 101 SPARTAEINE SALTICIDS: A SUMMARY AND REQUEST FOR SPECIMENS D. P. Wijesinghe Department of Entomology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024, USA I am working on the cladistic relationships within the jumping spider subfamily Spartaeinae, a group of salticids extensively revised by Fred R. Wanless of the British Museum in recent years in the course of a superb revisionary program of tropical Old World pluridentate taxa (Wanless 1978, 1979, 1981a, 1981b, 1984a, 1984b, 1987). The group occurs from southern Europe and Africa through Madagascar, south and southeast Asia, to Japan and Australia (Queensland) but is best represented in the tropics of Africa and Asia, especially in southeast Asia. As presently understood it includes thirteen genera and some sixty five species. The characteristic features of the Spartaeinae may conveniently be indicated by reference to one of the best known species, Portia fimbriata (Doleschall) (figs. 1-6). Spartaeines are unusual among non-lyssomanine salticids in having relatively large posterior median eyes (PME) (fig. 1, arrow), though Cyrba and some species of Gelotia and Taraxella have the PME reduced as in most 'typical' salticids. Only two other groups of non-lyssomanine salticids are known to have larger than usual PME, the Cocalodes-Allococalodes group (Wanless 1982) and the Holcolaetis-Sonoita group (Wanless 1985), neither of which appears to be closely related to the spartaeines.
