Die Autoren geben in ihrem umfangreichen Werk für 384 häufige Spinnenarten eine graphische Darstellung der von diesen besiedelten Makrolebensräume. Weitere 554 seltenere Arten werden mit den zugeordneten Lebensraumkürzeln und den Quellen als Anhang tabellarisch aufgelistet. Eine Auswertung mikroökologischer/autökologischer Daten ist ausdrücklich nicht einbezogen. Dies wird zwar in der Einleitung deutlich gemacht - geht aber aus dem Titel nicht hervor.
Jüngst (2004 bis 2006) wurden noch zu bestimmende Schizomiden in zwei Gewächshäusern in Deutschland gefunden. Da derartige Fälle sehr selten zu sein scheinen, möchten wir solche Meldungen zusammentragen und bitten hiermit um Literaturhinweise und Vermittlung/Zusendung von eventuell weiteren vorhandenen Exemplaren.
The spider fauna of open habitats adjacent to arable land was investigated in northern Switzerland. The three habitat types were (1) herbaceous edges of fields (Sa), (2) fallow land sowed with flowers (BB), and (3) grass borders of fields (GS). Four funnel pitfall traps (10 cm diameter) were used to catch spiders in three stripe-types in two geographical regions in two years over 5 weeks in May and June: in total 12 sets of data. Spider species typical for open habitats were dominant, mostly lycosids (6 of the 10 most active species). The results were analysed together with environmental factors using a canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and spiders were compared with carabid beetles (Coeloptera: Carabidae). Geographical region, though not very distant, had the largest influence on both spiders and carabids. The age and type of the habitats had a stronger influence on spiders than on carabids. In spiders a larger part of the total variance was explained by the analysed factors. Finally we discuss briefly a remarkable spider species. A review of all known records of Phrurolithus nigrinus in Switzerland and Germany, together with adjacent regions in France, is given. Its phenology is indicated, its habitat discussed and the overall distribution within Europe is listed.
In the course of a long term survey on the effects of grazing on the diversity of alpine grasslands, the false scorpion Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) poeninus Mahnert, 1979 was recorded for the first time outside of Switzerland. The preferred habitat at the locality Alpe Einödsberg (Germany, Bavaria) differs strongly from previous findings. Our data suggest an association with Nardus grasslands (Geo montani-Nardetum), whereas earlier records originated from leaf litter, moss and mouldy trunks. Furthermore, the new records between 1540 m and 1973 m above sea level are the first from the subalpine region of the Alps (hitherto C. poeninus was known from 550 m to 1450 m). In the study region, extensive grazing seems to have a positive effect on the abundance of the species, while it is missing from intensively grazed pastures.
