Madeira is bryologically insofar very interesting, as it harbours (like the other Macaronesian Islands) relics of the bryoflora of the Tertiary of continental Europe. Originated in the Tertiary at various times, these volcanic islands were mainly colonized from Europe. Whereas many species got extinct in Europe during the glaciations of the Quaternary, these elements were able to survive in these islands. So we are faced there with an ancient bryoflora, especially in the laurel forests, amongst other phytogeographic elements, mainly mediterranean species.
Again, this issue is a bit late
(September instead of August) but I hope
the diverse and exciting contents will
make up for the delay. As per usual, the
Australian Arachnological Society is
grateful to all who contributed to this
issue! More excitingly, I already have
articles for the December issue. Stay
tuned for an update on the taxonomy of
Australian jumping spiders by Marek
Zabka.
