Compositional and Functional Stability of Arthropod Communities in the Face of Ant Invasions
Ecological Applications, 18(6), 2008, pp. 1547–1562 Ó 2008 by the Ecological Society of America COMPOSITIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL STABILITY OF ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES IN THE FACE OF ANT INVASIONS 1 PAUL D. KRUSHELNYCKY AND ROSEMARY G. GILLESPIE Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, 137 Mulford Hall, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720-3114 USA Abstract. There is a general consensus that the diversity of a biotic community can have an influence on its stability, but the strength, ubiquity, and relative importance of this effect is less clear. In the context of biological invasions, diversity has usually been studied in terms of its effect on a community’s invasibility, but diversity may also influence stability by affecting the magnitude of compositional or functional changes experienced by a community upon invasion. We examined the impacts of invasive ants on arthropod communities at five natural area sites in the Hawaiian Islands, and assessed whether differences among sites in community diversity and density variables were related to measures of stability. Ant invasion was usually associated with significant changes in overall community composition, as measured by Bray- Curtis distances, particularly among endemic subsets of the communities. Changes in mean species richness were also strong at three of the five sites. Among sites, diversity was negatively related to stability as measured by resistance to overall compositional change, but this effect could not be separated from the strong negative effect of invasive ant density on compositional stability. When compositional stability was measured as proportional change in richness, the best predictor of stability among endemic community subsets was endemic richness, with richer communities losing proportionately more species than species-poor communities. -
Increased Abundance of Native and Non-Native Spiders with Habitat Fragmentation

Case4 1Environmental Studies Program, HB6182, ABSTRACT Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA, 2Department of Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences Habitat fragmentation and invasive species often contribute to the decline of native taxa. and Ecology Center, Utah State University, Logan, Since the penetration of non-native species into natural habitat may be facilitated by 3 Utah 84322, USA, Department of Entomology and habitat fragmentation, it is important to examine how these two factors interact. Department of Animal Biology, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801, USA, 4Department of Previous research documented that, in contrast to most other arthropod taxa, Biology, University of California, San Diego, La spiders increased in density and morphospecies richness with decreasing fragment Jolla, CA 92093, USA area and increasing fragment age (time since insularization) in urban habitat fragments in San Diego County, California, USA. We tested whether a specific mech- anism, an increase in non-native species with fragmentation, is responsible for this pattern. We found that both native and non-native taxa contributed to the pattern. Abundance of native spiders per pitfall trap sample increased significantly with decreasing fragment size (i.e. a negative density–area relationship) and abundance of non-natives increased significantly with increasing fragment age. The proportion of non-native individuals also increased significantly with age. One non-native species, Oecobius navus, comprised the majority of non-native individuals (82.2%) and a significant proportion of total individuals (25.1%). -
An Analysis of Geographic and Intersexual Chemical Variation in Venoms of the Spider Tegenaria Agrestis (Agelenidae)
Toxicon 39 (2001) 955±968 www.elsevier.com/locate/toxicon An analysis of geographic and intersexual chemical variation in venoms of the spider Tegenaria agrestis (Agelenidae) G.J. Binford* Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA Received 31 August 2000; accepted 24 October 2000 Abstract The spider Tegenaria agrestis is native to Europe, where it is considered medically innocuous. This species recently colonized the US where it has been accused of bites that result in necrotic lesions and systemic effects in humans. One possible explanation of this pattern is the US spiders have unique venom characteristics. This study compares whole venoms from US and European populations to look for unique US characteristics, and to increase our understanding of venom variability within species. This study compared venoms from T. agrestis males and females from Marysville, Washington (US), Tungstead Quarry, England (UK) and Le Landeron, Switzerland, by means of liquid chromatography; and the US and UK populations by insect bioassays. Chromatographic pro®les were different between sexes, but similar within sexes between US and UK populations. Venoms from the Swiss population differed subtly in composition from UK and US venoms. No peaks were unique to the US population. Intersexual differences were primarily in relative abundance of components. Insect assays revealed no differences between US and UK venom potency, but female venoms were more potent than male. These results are dif®cult to reconcile with claims of necrotic effects that are unique to venoms of US Tegenaria. q 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Comunidades De Arañas De La Reserva Natural Otamendi, Provincia De Buenos Aires
Comunidades de Arañas de la Reserva Natural Otamendi, Provincia de Buenos Aires. Riqueza específica y diversidad. (*) Cristian J. Grismado (*) TRABAJO DE SEMINARIO FINAL PARA LA OBTENCIÓN DEL TÍTULO DE TÉCNICO UNIVERSITARIO EN GESTIÓN, MANEJO Y CONSERVACIÓN DE BIODIVERSIDAD. Director: Martín J. Ramírez (División Aracnología, Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”) Profesor: Juan Iwaszkiw. Diciembre 2007 2 INTRODUCCIÓN En el marco de la crisis de biodiversidad que se da en nuestros tiempos, donde la rápida desaparición de especies vegetales y animales pone en riesgo nuestra propia supervivencia como especie a futuro, resulta fundamental el desarrollo de planes y programas de conservación que puedan implementarse en todas las escalas (local, regional, global) para preservar las áreas naturales. Lamentablemente, las modificaciones generadas por la acción antrópica en los últimos decenios han provocado una gran reducción en la extensión de las mismas; por esto es necesario conocer la biodiversidad de estas regiones a fin de poder definir y aplicar políticas adecuadas de manejo y conservación. Por estas razones, la colección, descripción y estudio de la composición taxonómica y riqueza específica resultan particularmente urgentes para contar con una base para trabajar en conservación. Dentro de la diversidad biológica, las arañas conforman un grupo clave en cualquier ecosistema, tanto por su acción de depredadores generalistas como por su diversidad y abundancia. El orden cuenta con alrededor de 40.000 especies descriptas (Platnick 2007), siendo uno de los órdenes megadiversos del reino animal (Coddington & Levi, 1991). Se ubica séptimo en cuanto a cantidad de especies, superado sólo por los cinco mayores órdenes de Insectos (Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera y Hemiptera) y por los Acari dentro de los Arácnidos (aunque actualmente se tiende a separar a los ácaros en dos órdenes). -

Araneae (Spider) Photos
Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison. -
