Der Stellenwert des Lebenszyklus für das Überleben der uferbewohnenden Wolfspinnenarten Pardosa wagleri (Hahn, 1822) und Pirata knorri (Scopoli, 1763)
The role of the life cycle for the survival riparian wolf spiders Pardosa wagleri (Hahn, 1822) and Pirata knorri (Scopoli, 1763)
Araneae, Lycosidae, life cycle, flood, disturbance
Abstract
Quantitative, time-limited samplings in monthly intervals from June 1995 to August 1996, in combination with the measurement of carapace width of juvenile and adult spiders has revealed the life cycle patterns of the riparian wolf spiders Pardosa wagleri and Pirata knorri and showed the effect of floods on their abundance at the Isar River (Germany, Bavaria). Adults and juvenile spiders are heavily affected by floods but the populations of both species are able to recover quickly. The life cycles of both species are synchronized with the season and display a spring/summer stenochrony. P. wagleri shows a second reproductive phase in early summer. This reproductive behaviour supports the persistence of populations in this disturbed environment.
Vergleich der Webspinnen (Araneae) und Weberknechte (Opiliones) in 6 Buchen- und Fichtenbeständen Bayerns
Comparison of spiders (Araneae) and harvestmen (Opiliones) of 6 spruce and beech stands in Bavaria
Araneae, Opiliones, spruce beech
Abstract
Species richness of spiders of the floor surface and the lower trunk area is higher in beech stands than in spruce forests. The abundances of epigeic spiders are also higher in beech stands whereas trunk spiders are more active on spruce. Harvestmen generally seem to prefer spruce forests, but more species were found on beech trunks than on spruce. Beech stands are partly preferred by other species than spruce forests.
Das Weibchen von Erigonoplus justus (O. P.-Cambridge, 1875) (Araneae: Linyphiidae)
The female of Erigonoplus justus (O. P.-Cambridge, 1875) (Araneae: Linyphiidae)
taxonomy, redescription
Abstract
The rare erigonine Erigonoplus justus was recently discovered at a xerothermic site in Rheinland-Pfalz. Its female is described for the first time. The species is new for Germany. Habitat preference, phenology and distribution area of E. justus are briefly discussed.
Erster Nachweis der Gattung Wubanoides Eskov, 1986 in Deutschland (Araneae: Linyphiidae)
First record of the genus Wubanoides Eskov, 1986 in Germany (Araneae: Linyphiidae)
Araneae, Linyphiidae, Wubanoides, block fields, Harz mountains, glacial relicts
Abstract
In 1998-99, spiders of the mainly Siberian genus Wubanoides Eskov, 1986 were found in a block field in the Harz mountains, Lower Saxony, Germany. They resemble W. uralensis (Pakhorukov, 1981), but appear taxonomically distinct when compared with paratypes of this species. Up to the clarification of their taxonomic status, they are announced here as W. uralensis. Short notes are given on biology and ecology, the questionable status of the species as a "glacial relict" is discussed.
