Abstract

It is a known phenomenon that the circulation of alien species increases due to many different variables such as the increase in human commercial activities, the ease of travel between continents, and the decrease in their duration. Pantropical origin Heteropoda venatoria, due to its synanthropic tendencies, is a spider species that is inclined to travel frequently and to disperse in the geographies it reaches. In this brief paper, a female Heteropoda venatoria that arrived from Japan to Cyprus via a merchant ship is presented.

Abstract

Dünya üzerinde insana ait ticarî faaliyetlerin artması, kıtalar arası seyahatlerin kolaylaşıp, sürelerinin azalması gibi birçok farklı değişkene bağlı olarak yabancı türlerin dolaşımlarının arttığı bilinen bir olgudur. Pantropical kökenli Heteropoda venatoria, sinantropik eğilimleri dolayısıyla sık sık seyahate ve ulaştığı coğrafyalarda dağılım göstermeye yatkın bir örümcek türüdür. Bu kısa makalede, Japonya’dan Kıbrıs’a ticarî bir gemi aracılığıyla ulaşan dişi bir Heteropoda venatoria’dan bahsedilmektedir.
