Abstract
Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) is becoming another iconic species within European conservation programmes. It is commonly accepted that the densest populations of this species are situated in Western Europe and many records confirm this. At the same time Eastern European populations are often not taken into account when assessing future dynamics of species distribution due to climate change. Here we provide data about D. plantarius in Belarus, which includes both an extensive literature survey and our own records in different parts of the country. The evidence provided suggest that Belarus is currently a large refugium for the fen raft spider, which was found during the last 30 years practically everywhere where specialists were interested in its study. We suggest that involvement of international research teams in studies of D. plantarius in Belarus will ensure the most efficient population management in Europe.
Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) wird als relevante Art in europäischen Naturschutzprogrammen zunehmend berücksichtigt. Dabei wird allgemein angenommen, dass der Schwerpunkt der Verbreitung der Art in Westeuropa liegt, was auf der Vielzahl der Nachweise von dort beruht. Die osteuropäischen Vorkommen wurden bisher meist nicht beachtet, wenn klimabedingte Verbreitungsveränderungen der Art modelliert wurden. Daten zu D. plantarius aus Weißrussland werden vorgestellt, einerseits aus intensiver Literaturarbeit und andererseits aus eigenen Nachweisen in verschiedenen Teilen des Landes. Damit wird deutlich, dass Weißrussland ein bedeutendes Reservoir für die Art darstellt. Sie wurde in den letzten 30 Jahren fast immer gefunden, wenn gezielt nach ihr gesucht wurde. Wir empfehlen dass die Vorkommen in Weißrussland in die internationale Forschung einbezogen werden, um die Schutzprogramme für die Art zu optimieren.
