The 28th European Congress of Arachnology in Torino was attended by 225 participants (including 27 accompanying persons and 15 members of staff) from 41 countries. Beside European countries, we hosted people coming from New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, USA, Uruguay, Japan, China, Iran, Pakistan, India and Taiwan. The scientific program itself was split over four days of talks, and comprised 5 plenary talks, 81 oral presentations and 81 posters that encompassed a wide breadth of arachnological research, with 22 thematic sessions (12 for oral presentations and 10 for posters) in addition to three special symposia.
Hygropetric and litter-inhabiting spiders (Araneae) from the Abruzzo Apennines (Central Italy)
(2009)
We present the results of a study of spider material extracted by means of Berlese apparatus from wet mosses and by litter sieving in broadleaf woods within several natural reserves of the Abruzzo region (Central Italy). The main aim of the work is to contribute to the knowledge of the spider fauna of the Apennines; currently one of the lesser known in Italy. In total, 520 spiders, belonging to 49 species and 14 families were collected. The most abundant and diverse family was Linyphiidae, with 278 individuals belonging to 22 species. Altogether we provide 28 new records for the Abruzzo region, including two species of Theridiidae, twenty of Linyphiidae, four of Hahniidae and two of Thomisidae. We also present additional unpublished records of several rare, litter-inhabiting species collected by litter sieving in the same area. Data on habitat preferences and details on the Italian distribution of the rarest species are presented.
