The Catalogue of “Alexandru Roșca” Spider Collection from the “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History (Bucharest) Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © 30 décembre «Grigore Antipa» Vol. LVI (2) pp. 143–156 2013 DOI: 10.2478/travmu-2013-0011 THE CATALOGUE OF “ALEXANDRU ROȘCA” SPIDER COLLECTION FROM THE “GRIGORE ANTIPA” NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY (BUCHAREST). II. MIMETIDAE, OXYOPIDAE, PHOLCIDAE, PISAURIDAE, THERIDIIDAE MARIIA FEDORIAK, LIVIU AUREL MOSCALIUC Abstract. We verified 145 specimens of Mimetidae, Oxyopidae, Pholcidae, Pisauridae, Theridiidae spiders from the “Alexandru Roșca” collection deposited in the “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History, Bucharest. Re-identification of the specimens actually presented in the Bucharest museum yielded records of 2 spider species not previously recorded for Romania: Pholcus ponticus Thorell, 1875 (Sibiu County) and Pisaura novicia (L. Koch, 1878) (Dâmbovița County). Pisaura novicia is further recorded from northern Dobrogea (Romania) and for the first time from the physiographic zone of the Ukrainian Carpathians based on our own material. Résumé. Nous avons vérifié 145 exemplaires d’araignées des familles Mimetidae, Oxyopidae, Pholcidae, Pisauridae, Theridiidae de la colléction “Alexandru Roșca” déposée dans la Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa”, Bucarest. La re-identification des spécimens actuellement préservées dans le Muséum de Bucarest donne des données de deux espèces d’araignées auparavant qui n’ont été signalées en Roumanie: Pholcus ponticus Thorell, 1875 (département du Sibiu) and Pisaura novicia (L. Koch, 1878) (département du Dâmbovița). Pisaura novicia est en outre enregistré dans le nord de la Dobrogea (Roumanie) et pour la première fois de la zone physiographique des Carpates ukrainiennes sur la base de notre propre matériel. Key words: Araneae, collection, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine. INTRODUCTION According to the certificate nr. 1582 dating back to 26.07.1972, the “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History (MNINGA) acquired the collection of 1526 specimens representing 596 Araneae species sold by Todoraș Olivia (Alexandru Roșca’s daughter). The collection came in handmade cardboard boxes containing glass vials with rubber covers. It was accompanied by the register that included the following information: species name, number of specimens, locality (mostly names of settlements) and the date of collection. The material was collected by Dr. A. Roșca from Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bulgaria within the period 1925-1964. Later certain specimens from the “Alexandru Roșca” collection were verified by the German and Romanian arachnologists (Braun, 1982; Sterghiu, 1985; Urak & Weiss, 1997; Petrișor, 1999) and a part of the collection was rearranged into glass tubes, placed in plastic jars with 70% alcohol (Petrișor, 1999). The rest of the collection is in the condition it was received and requires reorganization and verification. MATERIAL AND METHODS In December, 2012 we verified 133 spider specimens, which were labeled in the collection as belonging to Mimetidae (2 specimens), Oxyopidae (12 specimens), Pholcidae (15 specimens), and Theridionidae (old version for Theridiidae) (104 144 MARIIA FEDORIAK, LIVIU AUREL MOSCALIUC specimens); we also verified 12 specimens of Pisauridae which were mentioned in the collection belonging to Lycosidae. The number of individual spiders that we found in the collection was the same as specified in the registry. One specimen of Dictyna latens (Fabricius, 1775) was mentioned as Dipoena prona (Menge, 1868) and was included into Theridionidae. Until all of the collection is rearranged by the MNINGA staff, the specimens are left in the same vials. We added fresh 70% alcohol and labels with the inventory numbers and the species names after re-identification. In the cases when specimens of two or more species were in one vial, they were placed in separate ones and provided with labels. With the aim of unification, we followed A. Petrișor’s (1999) approach both in abbreviations and the way of presenting the results, with the only exception: besides the general number of specimens we provided the information on the number of male, female and juvenile specimens. Photographs were taken by Liviu A. Moscaliuc using a Leica 205C stereomicroscope with a mounted Canon EOS 600D camera. Photographs were procesed with Zerene Stacker, Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop software. The pictured specimens are part of the “Alexandru Roșca” collection at the “Grigore Antipa” Museum, part of the general spider collection of the museum (Letea, N 45°16’36” E 29°31’33”; Greci, N 45°12’50” E 28°14’45”; Bistricioara, N 47°3’11” E 25°55’22”, leg. Liviu A. Moscaliuc) and part of M. Fedoriak’s private collection at the Yuri Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University.

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e21010. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e21010 Abstract Background During a field course on spider taxonomy and ecology at the University of Helsinki, the authors had the opportunity to sample four plots with a dual objective of both teaching on field methods, spider identification and behaviour and uncovering the spider diversity patterns found in the southern coastal forests of Hankoniemi, Finland. As an ultimate goal, this field course intended to contribute to a global project that intends to uncover spider diversity patterns worldwide. With that purpose, a set of standardised methods and procedures was followed that allow the comparability of obtained data with numerous other projects being conducted across all continents. New information A total of 104 species and 1997 adults was collected.

  • Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Abundance, Larval Food and Parasitism of a Spider-Hunting Wasp
    Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Abundance, Larval Food and Parasitism of a Spider-Hunting Wasp Vale´rie Coudrain1,2,3*, Felix Herzog1, Martin H. Entling3 1 Research Station Agroscope Reckenholz-Ta¨nikon ART, Zu¨rich, Switzerland, 2 Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland, 3 Institute for Environmental Sciences, University of Koblenz-Landau, Landau/Pfalz, Germany Abstract Habitat fragmentation strongly affects species distribution and abundance. However, mechanisms underlying fragmentation effects often remain unresolved. Potential mechanisms are (1) reduced dispersal of a species or (2) altered species interactions in fragmented landscapes. We studied if abundance of the spider-hunting and cavity-nesting wasp Trypoxylon figulus Linnaeus (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) is affected by fragmentation, and then tested for any effect of larval food (bottom up regulation) and parasitism (top down regulation). Trap nests of T. figulus were studied in 30 agricultural landscapes of the Swiss Plateau. The sites varied in the level of isolation from forest (adjacent, in the open landscape but connected, isolated) and in the amount of woody habitat (from 4 % to 74 %). We recorded wasp abundance (number of occupied reed tubes), determined parasitism of brood cells and analysed the diversity and abundance of spiders that were deposited as larval food. Abundances of T. figulus were negatively related to forest cover in the landscape. In addition, T. figulus abundances were highest at forest edges, reduced by 33.1% in connected sites and by 79.4% in isolated sites. The mean number of spiders per brood cell was lowest in isolated sites. Nevertheless, structural equation modelling revealed that this did not directly determine wasp abundance.

  • Spiders of Howth
    SPIDERS OF HOWTH A report for Fingal County Council Myles Nolan Spiders of Howth - A report for Fingal County Council Myles Nolan 13 March 2020 SYNOPSIS A survey of ground beetles using pitfall traps was carried out on Howth Head in 2019. Spiders, harvestmen and pseudoscorpions also collected were examined and identified by the author: 573 specimens in all were examined. Forty-seven spider taxa were identified (43 species and four genera), as were five species of harvestman and one species of pseudoscorpion. Adult spiders are tabulated indicating the numbers identified from the different habitats examined. Immature spiders, harvestmen and pseudoscorpions identified are tabulated indicating the numbers collected. Comment is made on the most abundant spider species collected. 23 species collected had not been previously noted from Howth. Historical records and small collections made by two other individuals are added to the list from 2019 in order to compile a complete list of spiders recorded from Howth. This shows that 95 species have been recorded there over a period of some 120 years. Rare and noteworthy species are noted and discussed; a number have very restricted distributions; Howth is an Irish stronghold for some of these. The majority of the rarer species are associated with Ericaceous heathlands/lightly vegetated soils and stone/cliff surfaces. Loss of such habitat to anthropogenic management or scrub encroachment could impact negatively on some of these. 1 Spiders of Howth - A report for Fingal County Council Myles Nolan METHODS: COLLECTION, IDENTIFICATION, LISTING A survey of ground beetles was executed on Howth Head, County Dublin in the summer/autumn of 2019 using pitfall traps as the primary capture method.

  • Isle of Wight Wildlife Recording Challenge 2020
    Isle of Wight Wildlife Recording Challenge 2020 Here is the complete list of flora and fauna recorded during my self-set wildlife recording challenge. My aim was to see 2020 species on the Isle of Wight during the year and despite the lockdown it was a success with 2211 species recorded and two where two subspecies were recorded. Ten aggregate taxa were included where identification to species was not possible. The list includes naturalised non-native species, accidentally introduced species, a few free-living escapes, feral species and one deliberate introduction. More than 1850 species were photographed. A number of species on the list had not been recorded previously on the Isle of Wight. These new county records are highlighted in pink. Several more, potentially new species that are still to be checked, are highlighted in orange. Blue text indicates species I hadn’t seen before. Species are listed by taxonomic group with the date and location of the first record of the year. Some were recorded on many occasions throughout the year. I am immensely grateful for the help and support I received throughout the year. Keeping me up to date with news, specimens, moth nights, tips on where to look for plants, forays and particularly help with plant identification. Hopefully there aren’t any mistakes but if there are, they are entirely my own.
