Distribution and fertility of the spider Latrodectus tredecimguttatus (Rossi, 1790) (Aranei: Theridiidae) in the Odessa region (Ukraine)
Abstract:Population dynamics of the black widow spider depends primarily on climatic conditions (short warm winter, wet spring, and hot summer cause an increase in individuals numbers) and secondary – depends on forage base and the number of enemies (parasitoid wasps). Therefore, constant monitoring of black widow spiders in the Odessa region is really important. This article provides data on distribution of the spider Latrodectus tredecimguttatus (Rossi, 1790) obtained in 2014‒2018 in the Odessa Region (Ukraine). Prel… Show more
