The female of Phonotimpus separatus Gertsch & Davis (the type species the genus) is redescribed from a specimen collected at locality, and two new Mexico are described: P. pennimani sp. nov. talquian A more detailed description provided to better distinguish them related taxa. closely related; males females both share several somatic genitalic characters not found in separatus. resemblance discussed.

Spider species diversity has been associated with vegetation structure and stratification but there are few studies comparing the spider distribution in different shrubs trees. In this study we analyzed of community 11 shrub tree two sites a Mexican tropical dry forest. We present results from multivariate analyses that explain their distribution. A classification analysis based on abundances separated one shrub, Croton ciliatoglanduliferus, rest plant species. This was explained by presence...
Vegetation structure and floristics have a strong influence on the relative abundance of spider guilds functional diversity terrestrial arthropods. Human activities transformed much temperate woodlands. The aim this study was to test five predictions related guild distribution ground communities Eucalyptus plantations native pine woodlands in western Mexico. Spiders were collected every fortnight from September November 15 pitfalls positioned each eight sites. We also assessed cover grasses,...
Abstract We made intensive samplings to study the seasonal response of spiders across different forest strata (ground and understory) in a tropical mountain cloud from Mexico. sampled ten plots six sampling events during dry rainy season, analyze their abundance, structure (distribution abundance among species), diversity five dominant species at each stratum. Results demonstrated that patterns spider communities differed strata, revealing complex spatiotemporal dynamic. Abundance,...
The phylogeographic structure of some species distributed across the Baja California Peninsula has been traditionally hypothesized as resulting from vicariant events thought to have occurred between 1–3 Mya. Climatic fluctuations during Pleistocene also shown influence distribution patterns species, and may erased a consequence population contractions or expansions into out refugia generated last glacial maximum ca. 21,000 years ago. Thus, there is still uncertainty regarding relative role...
Seasonal distribution, specific richness, and diversity of xeric shrub ground spiders were studied at a site in the Cape Region. Weekly collections made 1991-1992 using pit-fall traps. We captured 4 322 specimens 53 families. Families with highest number individuals were: Miturgidae (42%) Oonopidae (23.5%), Caponiidae (8.0%), Gnaphosidae (7.9%). The most abundant species Syspira tigrina Chamberlin (37.1%); Oonops nov. sp. (13.7%), Scaphiella hespera (7.8%), Tarsonops sternalis (5.2%),...
The caponad spider genus Nopsides Chamberlin was established on the basis of juvenile specimens from Isla Cerralvo in Gulf California. Adult males and females type (and only known) species, N. ceralbonus Chamberlin, are described for first time, species is newly recorded Mexican mainland as well Baja peninsula. These animals nopines (i.e., have subsegmented tarsi), can easily be recognized by their unique eye pattern (with four eyes two widely separated rows), notable modifications inferior...
Se dan a conocer cuatro nuevos registros de especies arañas para México (Herpyllus schwarzi, Nodocion rufithoracicus Phrurotimpus woodburyi y Thanatus altimontis) el estado Coahuila (Euagrus chisoseus, Herpyllus propinquus, Latrodectus hesperus Titanebo mexicanus). presenta un listado actualizado con 178 presentes en Coahuila, agrupadas 100 géneros 32 familias. Las familias mayor número fueron Gnaphosidae (39), Lycosidae (22) Salticidae (15). El ocupa doceavo lugar la riqueza México.
Abstract Aims The oases of Baja California Peninsula (BCP) have been proposed as important hotspots biodiversity that hold an exceptional richness in the middle desert conditions. We tested effect habitat and anthropogenic disturbance on communities cavity‐nesting taxa, with specific emphasis bees, wasps, their natural enemies. Methods In BCP neighbor environments, trap‐nesting taxa were evaluated response to factors affecting nest abundance, richness, community structure. used statistical...

Spider (Araneae) prey were collected every 2 weeks from trap nests. Individuals family Araneidae most abundant (60.9%), followed by Theridiidae Mimetidae. Dictynidae, Anyphaenidae, Salticidae, Uloboridae, Tetragnathidae, Miturgidae, Philodromidae captured only habitat. An unidentified species Eriophora Simon...
Homalonychus selenopoides Marx 1891 is endemic to the coastal plains of Sonoran Desert in state Sonora, Mexico and southwestern United States. Although species was described more than a century ago, nothing known about its behavior. We collected spiders southern study their reproductive behavior, which we recorded with an infrared camera, mainly at night. Sperm induction indirect type; males wove triangular sperm web 2 cm2 near ground. Females prepared threads silk sand. Courtship behavior...

La gordofobia es un estigma que estructura nuestra sociedad cisheteronormativa. Los gordos sufren mucha violencia, desde su niñez, por no estar dentro de lo se entiende “corporeidades sanas” en la concepción del saber médico colonialista. Las mujeres gordas más, porque esta lógica, nos lee como cuerpos abyectos y vivimos violencia institucionalizada los discursos soberanos poder biomédico. En este sentido, proponemos una reflexión sobre ética (Butler, 2019), despliegue investigación...
Examination of old Sceliphron jamaicense (Fabr.) nests at 4 localities near the tip Baja California peninsula showed levels brood success (i.e., fraction fully provisioned, closed cells producing viable adult offspring)between 24.6% and 58.1% per site. Failure was predominantly pupal stage all localities. Successful are commonly reutilized by other solitary wasps, primarily Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) dubium Coville Chalybion californicum (Sassure, 1867). There is a pronounced clumping tendency...
