Book Amazonian Arachnida and Myriapoda

Download or read book Amazonian Arachnida and Myriapoda written by Joachim Adis and published by . This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An "Identification Manual" on the Amazonian Entomofauna for beginners and non-specialists has been demanded for many years. Most taxonomic literature on Neotropical Arachnida and Myriapoda is strictly descriptive, keys in translated and accepted textbooks are restricted to the higher taxa and first introductions to Amazonian arthropods refer to specific sampling sites and are mainly devoted to insects. And the other hand, taxonomical knowledge on Amazonian Arthropoda was much improved due to investigations for the last two decades, cooperatively between the National Institute for Amazonian Research and the Tropical Ecology Working Group at the Max-Planck-Institute for Limnology in Ploen/Germany

Book The velvet spiders  an atlas of the Eresidae  Arachnida  Araneae

Download or read book The velvet spiders an atlas of the Eresidae Arachnida Araneae written by Jeremy A. Miller and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2012-05-18 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name velvet spider describes the dark and shiny appearance of members of the family Eresidae. Some species also have brightly-colored highlights, such as the red, white, and black ladybird spiders of Europe and North Asia. This family also includes some of the world?s most cooperative spider species. Social species can be very abundant in parts of tropical Africa and Asia with conspicuous colonies dotting the landscape. Social colonies may consist of hundreds of closely-related individuals that participate in dramatic mass attacks on prey and care for their young. The ecology of these social species is fascinating and has been the subject of several landmark scientific papers. By contrast, most kinds of velvet spider are rarely encountered. Most species keep well hidden or dig burrows and live underground. This monograph provides a generic-level review of Eresidae documented with collections of photographs, scanning electron micrographs, and illustrations. A key to the nine genera and other major lineages is provided. A new phylogeny of Eresidae based on molecular sequence data expands on a previously published analysis. Cybertaxonomic enhancements include an interactive map of the specimens used in the study explorable using Google Earth, specimen records uploaded to GBIF, and molecular sequence alignments and other data archived on Dryad. An EDIT Integrated Research grant provided principal funding for this project.

Book The spider family Micropholcommatidae  Arachnida  Araneae  Araneoidea   a relimitation and revision at the generic level

Download or read book The spider family Micropholcommatidae Arachnida Araneae Araneoidea a relimitation and revision at the generic level written by Mihael G. Rix and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Micropholcommatidae are a family of tiny, distinctive araneoid spiders, known from southern-temperate habitats throughout Australasia and Chile. The greatest abundance of individuals and the largest diversity of taxa occur in the cool-temperate rainforests of south-eastern Australia and New Zealand, where micropholcommatid spiders can be very common within moss and leaf litter microhabitats. Although poorly studied biologically and largely neglected taxonomically, the Micropholcommatidae are a diverse lineage, with a significantÿ The monograph in this volume presents a complete generic-level revision of the spider family Micropholcommatidae. The phylogenetic position and internal phylogeny of the family are tested with two separate morphological cladistic analyses, the results of which inform a comprehensive generic-level classification. In total, 26 new species, 12 new genera, one new tribe and two new subfamilies are described, taking the total documented micropholcommatid fauna to 58 species. The distribution and Gondwanan biogeography of the family are also discussed, and natural history information is provided where known. Most importantly, the results of this paper present a taxonomic framework and a phylogenetic foundation for all future research on the Micropholcommatidae; a template by which new species can be described and existing species can be identified, and a valuable dataset for exploring phylogenetic hypotheses.

Book A Revision of the American Funnel web Mygalomorph Spider Genus Euagrus  Araneae  Dipluridae

Download or read book A Revision of the American Funnel web Mygalomorph Spider Genus Euagrus Araneae Dipluridae written by Frederick A. Coyle and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The American diplurid genus Euagrus, distributed from Arizona south to Costa Rica, is revised for the first time. Euagrus is defined to include those euagrine diplurids with the following character states: no australotheline crescent; terminal cymbial spines; interlocking spinule patches on male femora I and II; a ventral, proximal, nonspatulate, tibia II mating apophysis with one or more large apical spines; two or three ventral mating keels on metatarsus II; no macrosetae brush on the prolateral surface of male tibia II; and two or more sclerotized stalks with unsclerotized bulbs on each (unsclerotized) spermathecal trunk. The relationships of Euagrus to other euagrine genera are discussed. A cladogram (based on outgroup comparison with the sister genus, Phyxioschema), a key, diagnoses, descriptions, tables of quantitative character values, illustrations, analyses of variation, natural history information, locality records, and distribution maps are provided for the 20 recognized species of Euagrus. Eight of these species are newly described: E. carlos, E. charcus, E. garnicus, E. gertschi, E. gus, E. leones, E. rothi, and E. zacus. Six specific names are newly synonymized: E. ravenus Gertsch and Mulaik, E. apacheus Gertsch and Mulaik, and E. ritaensis Chamberlin and Ivie with E. chisoseus Gertsch; E. empiricus Chamberlin and E. scepticus Chamberlin with E. josephus Chamberlin; and E. pragmaticus Chamberlin with E. rubrigularis Simon"--Page 205
