WSC ist eine taxonomisch-systematische Datenbank fur alle fast 47‘000 Spinnenarten weltweit. Sie enthalt auch die rund 14‘000 wissenschaftlichen Publikationen als PDF, in denen diese Arten den letzten 270 Jahren beschrieben wurden. Grosse etwa 45 GB, 4000 registrierte Nutzer, 800-1000 Nutzer taglich, 500-1000 PDF downloads taglich.
The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed the Code has already been discussed Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; 2009a-b; Dubois Gentile Snell Minelli Cianferoni Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This was again raised a letter supported 35 signatories published journal Nature (Pape 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 2016,...
Abstract Analyses of species traits have increased our understanding how environmental drivers such as disturbances affect the composition arthropod communities and related processes. There are, however, few studies on which in community are affected by changes ecosystem functioning. The assembly several taxa is difficult because large number species, limited availability trait databases differences available traits. We sampled data from a total 150 managed grassland plots three regions...
Urban green spaces can harbor a considerable species richness of plants and animals. A few studies on single groups indicate important habitat functions cemeteries, but this land use type is clearly understudied compared to parks. Such data are as they (i) illustrate specific, ubiquitous urban land-use (ii) may serve basis for management approaches.We sampled different animals in the Weißensee Jewish Cemetery Berlin (WJC) which one largest cemeteries Europe. With total 608 animals, first...
Abstract Farmland is a major land cover type in Europe and Africa provides habitat for numerous species. The severe decline farmland biodiversity of the last decades has been attributed to changes farming practices, organic low‐input are assumed mitigate detrimental effects agricultural intensification on biodiversity. Since farm enterprise primary unit decision making, management‐related at field scale need be assessed level. Therefore, this study, data were collected characteristics,...
Macroecologists seek to identify drivers of community turnover ( β -diversity) through broad spatial scales. However, the influence local habitat features in driving broad-scale -diversity patterns remains largely untested, owing objective challenges associating local-scale variables continental-framed datasets. We examined relative contribution local- versus continental patterns, using a uniquely suited dataset cave-dwelling spider communities across Europe (35–70° latitude). Generalized...
The spider fauna active on the bark of trees in forests eight sites different regions Germany was investigated.Trunk eclectors at about 2-4 meters height living were used (SW Bavaria, Hesse, Brandenburg) between 1990 and2003.In Hesse also dead beech (standing and lying).In this study data, mainly from (Fagus sylvatica) spruce (Picea abies), May to October are compared -whole year samples (including winter) only available Hesse.A total 334 species recorded with these traps, i.e. one third...
Abstract Aim Conservation studies often investigate the biodiversity of one taxonomic group with expectation that it reflects other taxa as well. However, previous have found patterns are only weakly correlated across ecologically very different taxa. Using three arthropod share same habitat, utilize similar resources and sampled identical technique, we applicability two levels indication: (1) prediction patterns, (2) inference environment–biodiversity relationships. The second aspect is...
Checklist of the arachnids (excl. Acarida) Germany (Arachnida: Araneida, Opilionida, Pseudoscorpionida). Achecklist 01 german (spiders, harvestmen, pseudoscorpions) is presented here for first time. 956 species spiders, 45 harvestmen and olpseudoscorpions are listed.lmportantjunior synonyms given. References cited established in Germany.
Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) are widespread in subterranean ecosystems worldwide and represent an important component of trophic webs. Yet, global-scale diversity patterns spiders still mostly unknown. In the frame CAWEB project, a European joint network cave arachnologists, we collected data on cave-dwelling spider communities across Europe order to explore their continental patterns. Two main datasets were compiled: one listing all species recorded numerous localities another with high...
Strand considered each deviation of specimens from the original description in colouration, body size and shape, eye pattern or leg spination as sufficient to describe infraspecific taxa such subspecies, varieties, forms aberrations. Following this problematic approach, he erected 165 names which may reflect phenetics rather than evolutionary history. The aim paper is review 102 still valid according current taxonomic standards. Here we declare 39 subspecies new synonyms nominate form,...
When the museums of Lübeck, Stuttgart, Tübingen and partly Wiesbaden were destroyed during World War II between 1942 1945, also all or parts their type material destroyed, among them types from spider species described by Embrik Strand 1906 1917. He did not illustrate 181 one subspecies only in an insufficient manner. These never recollected more than 110 years no additional taxonomically relevant information was published arachnological literature. It is impossible to recognize them, so we...
