Genetic analysis of tarantulas in the genus Brachypelma using Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) Abstract There is a great deal of morphological and genetic species diversity on Earth that requires careful conservation. One such genetically diverse genus of tarantulas is that of Brachypelma. In this study, we employ a newer DNA fingerprinting technique known as Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR), ot study the genetic variation among Brachypelma species and to determine if the invasive Brachypelma tarantula found in Florida B. vagans. Although B. vagans is a species protected under CITES Appendix II, this species has a wide distribution in Mexico and traits allowing for invasion to new habitats. It was hypothesized that the invasive tarantula in Florida is that of B. vagans and that it would be more closely related to samples from the Mexican populations as opposed to samples from the United States pet trade.

To Map Baboon Spider (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Distributions and Diversity in Southern Africa
The Baboon Spider Atlas – using citizen science and the ‘fear factor’ to map baboon spider (Araneae: Theraphosidae) distributions and diversity in Southern Africa Heather Campbell & Ian Engelbrecht Department of Zoology and Entomology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, 0002, South Africa. Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract 1. Charismatic invertebrates are popular subjects for citizen science but it is harder to engage the public in research on animals that are perceived as dangerous. Many successful citizen science projects exist in North America and Europe, but with the increased use of new technologies and social media there is a greater capacity to expand citizen science to less developed regions. 2. Baboon spiders are African members of the tarantula family. They are threatened by habitat loss and illegal harvesting for the pet trade, but conservation efforts are hampered by a lack of knowledge on their ecology. 3. Here we describe the Baboon Spider Atlas, a project combining traditional research with citizen science to map the diversity and distributions of baboon spiders (Araneae: Theraphosidae) in Southern Africa. Our project embraces the ‘fear factor’ associated with spiders to obtain photographic records from the public. 4. The Baboon Spider Atlas has assembled the largest database of information on baboon spiders in Southern Africa and is providing novel insights into their biology. Distribution ranges have been extended and potential new species discovered. Preliminary results suggest that their distribution may be limited more by cold, wet climatic conditions than hot, dry conditions. Records for wandering adult females and immatures highlight a previously undocumented behaviour and challenges the notion that baboon spiders are sedentary 1 animals.

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.

ZooKeys 526: 75–104. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.526.6315 Abstract The tarantula genusSericopelma was originally defined based on male specimens, most notably lacking tibial spurs on leg I. Early female specimens were unrecognised as Sericopelma, and typically placed in Eurypelma – a dumping ground for problem specimens. The first females were only later recognised, but authors failed to adequately define femaleSericopelma . Here, the holotypes of the Southern-most alleged Brachypelma species, B. embrithes (Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936) and B. angustum Valerio, 1980 were exam- ined, and finding both to possess defining characteristics of Sericopelma were transferred. The taxonomic attributes to define Sericopelma relative to Brachypelma and select other Neotropical genera are discussed, especially for females.

Hembree Trace fossils are useful for interpreting the environmental conditions and ecological composition of strata. Neoichnological studies are necessary to provide informed interpretations, but few studies have examined the traces produced by continental species and how these organisms respond to changes in environmental conditions. Spiders are major predators in modern ecosystems. The fossil record of spiders extends to the Carboniferous, but few body fossils have been found earlier than the Cretaceous. Although the earliest spiders were probably burrowing species, burrows attributed to spiders are known primarily from the Pleistocene. The identification of spider burrows in the fossil record would allow for better paleoecological interpretations and provide a more complete understanding of the order’s evolutionary history. This study examines the morphology of burrows produced by the mygalomorph spider Gorgyrella inermis and the araneomorph spider Hogna lenta (Arachnida: Araneae).

Spider Genomes Provide Insight Into Composition and Evolution of Venom and Silk
ARTICLE Received 7 Aug 2013 | Accepted 31 Mar 2014 | Published 6 May 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4765 OPEN Spider genomes provide insight into composition and evolution of venom and silk Kristian W.

Schierup3,6, Trine Bilde3 & Jun Wang4,5,9 Spiders are ecologically important predators with complex venom and extraordinarily tough silk that enables capture of large prey. Here we present the assembled genome of the social velvet spider and a draft assembly of the tarantula genome that represent two major taxonomic groups of spiders. The spider genomes are large with short exons and long introns, reminiscent of mammalian genomes. Phylogenetic analyses place spiders and ticks as sister groups supporting polyphyly of the Acari. Complex sets of venom and silk genes/proteins are identiﬁed. We ﬁnd that venom genes evolved by sequential duplication, and that the toxic effect of venom is most likely activated by proteases present in the venom. The set of silk genes reveals a highly dynamic gene evolution, new types of silk genes and proteins, and a novel use of aciniform silk. These insights create new opportunities for pharmacological applications of venom and biomaterial applications of silk. 1 Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Aarhus University, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark.

Systematic Revision of Brachypelma Red-Kneed Tarantulas

Postal 70-153, CP 04510, Ciudad Universitaria, Coyoacán, Distrito Federal, Mexico. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Mexican red-kneed tarantulas of the genus Brachypelma are regarded as some of the most desirable invertebrate pets, and although bred in captivity, they continue to be smuggled out of the wild in large numbers. Species are often difficult to identify based solely on morphology, therefore prompt and accurate identification is required for adequate protection. Thus, we explored the applicability of using COI-based DNA barcoding as a complementary identification tool. Brachypelma smithi (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897) and Brachypelma hamorii Tesmongt, Cleton & Verdez, 1997 are redescribed, and their morphological differences defined. Brachypelma annitha is proposed as a new synonym of B. smithi.Thecurrent distribution of red-kneed tarantulas shows that the Balsas River basin may act as a geographical barrier. Morphological and molecular evidence are concordant and together provide robust hypotheses for delimiting Mexican red-kneed tarantula species. DNA barcoding of these tarantulas is further shown to be useful for species-level identification and for potentially preventing black market trade in these spiders.

Mexican Redrump Tarantula, Brachypelma Vagans (Ausserer) (Arachnida: Araneae: Theraphosidae)1 G
EENY287 Mexican Redrump Tarantula, Brachypelma vagans (Ausserer) (Arachnida: Araneae: Theraphosidae)1 G. B. Edwards and K. L. Hibbard2 Introduction In early August 1996, a large black spider with red hairs on its abdomen was collected by citrus grove workers in St. Lucie County, Florida, west of Ft. Pierce. The workers gave the spider to a citrus survey crew, who brought it back to Gainesville. The first author examined the specimen (which was only half grown) and tentatively identified it as Brachy- pelma vagans (Ausserer), a species known to be commonly imported by the pet trade under assorted common names (Central American, Guatemalan, Honduran, or Mexican black velvet tarantulas). The accepted common name is Mexican redrump tarantula (Breene 1995). About a week later, a female and several young spiders were Figure 1. Female Mexican redrump tarantula, Brachypelma vagans. Credits: Jeffrey Lotz, Division of Plant Industry unearthed by grove workers in the same area. Subsequently, several survey expeditions led by the second author Distribution captured or destroyed about 100 specimens of all ages from Mexican redrumps were reported from Belize, El Salvador, small spiderlings to adult females and males. One of these Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico (Baxter 1993; Smith males was sent to Rick C. West, a tarantula expert and 1986), but were omitted as a component of the Costa Rican research associate of the Royal British Columbia Museum, fauna (Valerio 1980). It is now known to occur naturally for identification. Mr. West confirmed that this species was from Veracruz and the Yucatan Peninsula south along the B. vagans (personal communication 1996).
