8 Nieuwsbrief SPINED 38 8 Nieuwsbrief SPINED 38 UPDATE ON THE SPIDERS (ARACHNIDA, ARANEAE) OF CALABRIA, 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]) ABSTRACT During the spring of 2017, spiders of 203 identified species were collected in the region of Calabria, Southern Italy. A list of collected species is given. Fifty five species are new records for Calabria. Five species are reported as new for Italy: Pardosa paludicola (Clerck, 1757), Evarcha michailovi Logunov, 1992, Heliophanus simplex Simon, 1868, Dipoena umbratilis (Simon, 1873), and Xysticus macedonicus Šilhavý, 1944. Some species could not be identified as yet: Spermophorides spec., Diplocephalus spec., Lepthyphantes s.l. spec., Pelecopsis spec., and Xysticus spec. The status of Platnickina nigropunctata (Lucas, 1946) is discussed. Key words: Araneae, faunistics, Calabria, Italy, southern Italy INTRODUCTION This paper is the fourth in a series on the spider fauna of southern Italy. The first dealt with a field trip to Gargano in 2011, the second with the surroundings of Castellabate, province Salerno in the region Campania in 2013, the third with the borderland of the regions Basilicata and Calabria in 2015 (see IJland et al. 2012, 2014, 2016) and finally the present paper dealing with a field trip to the provinces of Cosenza and Catanzaro in Calabria in 2017. Fieldwork was carried out during the period 7-19 May 2017 (PvH) and 7-13 May 2017 (SIJ). In total 1059 spiders were collected (437 males, 606 females and 16 juveniles (of recognizable species)). Altogether 202 species could be identified, five of which are new for Italy and 55 new for Calabria. Six species could not be identified as yet. The localities where we collected are listed below and shown on a map (fig. 1). The material of the present report is divided between the private collection of Steven IJland and the collection of Naturalis Biodiversity Centre at Leiden, the Netherlands. Coordinates are given as WGS84. The Fauna Europaea database (Van Helsdingen, 2018) was used as source of information on species distributions in Europe. The online checklist of Pantini and Isaia was used for species distribution information within Italy (Pantini & Isaia, 2018). For occurrence of species in Calabria the recent publication by Pantini and Mazzoleni (Pantini & Mazzoleni, 2018) was used. THE SPIDER FAUNA OF ITALY In previous publications we stated that the spider fauna of southern Italy appeared to be very rich but seriously understudied. In 2018, Pantini and Mazzoleni (Pantini & Mazzoleni 2018) summarized the current knowledge on the arachnofauna of Calabria, based on publications and unpublished records. They reported 456 species, 213 genera and 41 families for the region. The number of species seems to be very low for a diverse region like Calabria. As a result of just two weeks of collecting in 2017, we could add 55 species new to the fauna of Calabria, five of which are new to the fauna of Italy. Besides, some specimens were found which likely belong to species new to science, although in this paper we refrain from formal descriptions for reasons indicated. The region is best characterized as agricultural landscape (olive orchards, pastures) with forested areas. Calabria has a considerable variety of habitats and reaches from the coast up to the highest top of the Calabrian Appenines, the Serra Dolcedorme (2.267 m a.s.l.) (not visited by us). We hope our studies inspire other arachnologists to visit the southern parts of Italy, where still is much to learn and discover. Nieuwsbrief SPINED 38 9 Fig. 1. Map showing collection localities.

  • Untangling Taxonomy: a DNA Barcode Reference Library for Canadian Spiders
    Molecular Ecology Resources (2016) 16, 325–341 doi: 10.1111/1755-0998.12444 Untangling taxonomy: a DNA barcode reference library for Canadian spiders GERGIN A. BLAGOEV, JEREMY R. DEWAARD, SUJEEVAN RATNASINGHAM, STEPHANIE L. DEWAARD, LIUQIONG LU, JAMES ROBERTSON, ANGELA C. TELFER and PAUL D. N. HEBERT Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada Abstract Approximately 1460 species of spiders have been reported from Canada, 3% of the global fauna. This study provides a DNA barcode reference library for 1018 of these species based upon the analysis of more than 30 000 specimens. The sequence results show a clear barcode gap in most cases with a mean intraspecific divergence of 0.78% vs. a min- imum nearest-neighbour (NN) distance averaging 7.85%. The sequences were assigned to 1359 Barcode index num- bers (BINs) with 1344 of these BINs composed of specimens belonging to a single currently recognized species. There was a perfect correspondence between BIN membership and a known species in 795 cases, while another 197 species were assigned to two or more BINs (556 in total). A few other species (26) were involved in BIN merges or in a combination of merges and splits. There was only a weak relationship between the number of specimens analysed for a species and its BIN count. However, three species were clear outliers with their specimens being placed in 11– 22 BINs. Although all BIN splits need further study to clarify the taxonomic status of the entities involved, DNA bar- codes discriminated 98% of the 1018 species. The present survey conservatively revealed 16 species new to science, 52 species new to Canada and major range extensions for 426 species.

Previous research using computer animation and lures made from dead 19 20 prey has demonstrated that the East African salticid Evarcha culicivora Wesolowska & 20 21AQ3 Jackson (Araneae: Salticidae) feeds indirectly on vertebrate blood by actively choosing 21 22 blood-carrying female mosquitoes as prey, and also that it singles out mosquitoes of 22 23AQ4 the genus Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) by preference. Here, we demonstrate that 23 24 E. culicivora’s preference is expressed when the species is tested with living prey 24 25 and that it is unique to E. culicivora. As an alternative hypothesis, we considered 25 26 26 the possibility that the preference for blood-fed female anopheline mosquitoes might 27 27 28 be widespread in East African salticids.

  • Distribution of Spiders in Coastal Grey Dunes
    kaft_def 7/8/04 11:22 AM Pagina 1 SPATIAL PATTERNS AND EVOLUTIONARY D ISTRIBUTION OF SPIDERS IN COASTAL GREY DUNES Distribution of spiders in coastal grey dunes SPATIAL PATTERNS AND EVOLUTIONARY- ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF DISPERSAL - ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF DISPERSAL Dries Bonte Dispersal is crucial in structuring species distribution, population structure and species ranges at large geographical scales or within local patchily distributed populations. The knowledge of dispersal evolution, motivation, its effect on metapopulation dynamics and species distribution at multiple scales is poorly understood and many questions remain unsolved or require empirical verification. In this thesis we contribute to the knowledge of dispersal, by studying both ecological and evolutionary aspects of spider dispersal in fragmented grey dunes. Studies were performed at the individual, population and assemblage level and indicate that behavioural traits narrowly linked to dispersal, con- siderably show [adaptive] variation in function of habitat quality and geometry. Dispersal also determines spider distribution patterns and metapopulation dynamics. Consequently, our results stress the need to integrate knowledge on behavioural ecology within the study of ecological landscapes. / Promotor: Prof. Dr. Eckhart Kuijken [Ghent University & Institute of Nature Dries Bonte Conservation] Co-promotor: Prf.
