“…Winter Summer NF ER PA CLI NT NF ER PA CLI In a study conducted by Richman et al (2011) in the Chihuahan desert, in Mexico, Gnaphosidae and Salticidae were more abundant in at least one period of the year. Although the desert is an inhospitable environment for many species, for these two families the reduction of resources does not seem to substantially affect their distribution, because they can forage in many environments and cover long distances searching for food and shelter.…”

Diversity of soil spiders in land use and management systems in Santa Catarina, Brazil

et al. 2019

The ability of spiders to spread over contiguous areas (Arachnida: Araneae) is directly related to soil management conditions. The objective of this work was to study the effect of land use system (LUS) on the abundance and diversity of soil spider families and their relationship with soil physical and chemical properties. The evaluated LUS were: native forest, eucalyptus reforestation, pasture, crop-livestock integration, and no-tillage crop. Samples were collected in three municipalities of Southern Plateau of Santa Catarina, considered as true replicates, during winter and summer. A total of 270 samples was taken in each area and season. The sampling points were arranged in a grid of 3 × 3 m, spaced by 30 m. We evaluated soil physical, chemical, and microbiological attributes and the abundance and diversity of spider families, collected by soil monolith and soil traps. A total of 448 spiders were captured, 152 in winter and 296 in summer, distributed in 24 families and 52 species/morphospecies. There was a seasonality effect related to the land use systems and the highest Shannon-Wiener diversity index was recorded in the native forest in both sampling periods. Most families of spiders have a direct dependence on soil physical and chemical properties, such as microporosity, exchangeable aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and potassium during the winter. Organic matter, nitrogen, pH in water, weighted average diameter, soil density, and microbial biomass carbon exhibited dependence during the summer. Vegetation type and soil management are the factors that seem to affect most the occurrence of spiders. The families Theridiidae and Nemesiidae are dependent on sites with low human intervention. Diversidade de aranhas edáficas em sistemas de uso e manejo do solo em Santa Catarina, BrasilResumo: A capacidade de dispersão das aranhas em áreas contíguas (Arachnida, Araneae) está ligada diretamente às condições de manejo do solo. Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho estudar o efeito do sistema de uso do solo (SUS) sobre a abundância e diversidade das famílias de aranhas edáficas, bem como a relação dessas com os atributos físicos e químicos do solo. Os SUS avaliados foram: floresta nativa, reflorestamento de eucalipto, pastagem, integração lavoura-pecuária e lavoura com sistema plantio direto. As amostras foram coletadas em três municípios do Planalto Sul-Catarinense, considerados réplicas verdadeiras, durante o inverno e o verão. Um total de 270 amostras foi coletado em cada área e estação do ano. Os pontos de amostragem foram dispostos em uma grade de amostragem de 3 × 3 distanciados 30 m entre si. Foram avaliados atributos físicos, químicos e microbiológicos do solo e abundância e diversidade de famílias de aranhas, coletadas pelo método de monólitos e armadilhas de solo. Ao todo foram capturados 448 indivíduos, sendo 152 no inverno e 296 no verão, distribuídos em 24 famílias, 52 espécies/morfoespécies. Houve efeito da sazonalidade entre os sistemas de uso e a maior diversidade de Shannon-Wiener foi registrada em flores...

“…Nuestra lista además muestra la falta de estudios faunísticos de las arañas en México, pues el 60% de las especies incluidas aquí únicamente se han encontrado en el Ejido el Churince en Cuatro Ciénegas (Bizuet-Flores et al, 2015). Por otro lado con los nuevos registros se amplía la distribución de las especies H. schwarzi, L. heperus y P. woodburyi hasta la zona media del Desierto Chihuahuense, pues únicamente se citaban para Estados Unidos en la zona Tras-Pecos o norteña (Chamberlin & Gertsch, 1929;Gertsch & Riechert, 1976;Richman et al, 2011). Platnick & Shadab (1980) (Coyle, 1988).…”

Se dan a conocer cuatro nuevos registros de especies de arañas para México (Herpyllus schwarzi, Nodocion rufithoracicus Phrurotimpus woodburyi y Thanatus altimontis) y cuatro registros nuevos para el estado de Coahuila (Euagrus chisoseus, Herpyllus propinquus, Latrodectus hesperus y Titanebo mexicanus). Se presenta un listado actualizado con 178 especies de arañas presentes en Coahuila, agrupadas en 100 géneros y 32 familias. Las familias con mayor número de especies fueron Gnaphosidae (39), Lycosidae (22) y Salticidae (15). El estado de Coahuila ocupa el doceavo lugar en la riqueza de arañas en México.

This catalogue lists 1,084 species of spiders (three identified to genus only) in 311 genera from 53 families currently recorded from Texas and is based on the “Bibliography of Texas Spiders” published by Bea Vogel in 1970. The online list of species can be found at http://pecanspiders.tamu.edu/spidersoftexas.htm. Many taxonomic revisions have since been published, particularly in the families Araneidae, Gnaphosidae and Leptonetidae. Many genera in other families have been revised. The Anyphaenidae, Ctenidae, Hahniidae, Nesticidae, Sicariidae and Tetragnathidae were also revised. Several families have been added and others split up. Several genera of Corinnidae were transferred to Phrurolithidae and Trachelidae. Two genera from Miturgidae were transferred to Eutichuridae. Zoridae was synonymized under Miturgidae. A single species formerly in Amaurobiidae is now in the Family Amphinectidae. Some trapdoor spiders in the family Ctenizidae have been transferred to Euctenizidae.Gertsch and Mulaik started a list of Texas spiders in 1940. In a letter from Willis J. Gertsch dated October 20, 1982, he stated “Years ago a first listing of the Texas fauna was published by me based largely on Stanley Mulaik material, but it had to be abandoned because of other tasks.” This paper is a compendium of the spiders of Texas with distribution, habitat, collecting method and other data available from revisions and collections. This includes many records and unpublished data (including data from three unpublished studies). One of these studies included 16,000 adult spiders belonging to 177 species in 29 families. All specimens in that study were measured and results are in the appendix. Hidalgo County has 340 species recorded with Brazos County at 323 and Travis County at 314 species. These reflect the amount of collecting in the area.
