The Spider Fauna of the Terzioglu Campus of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University

Abstract

Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Terzioglu Campus was built on an area with different heights and different habitats. The aim of this study was to determine the spider species fauna which were distributed in the campus area due to the lack of any detailed study on spider fauna of the campus area. In this study, the spider fauna of the Terzioglu Campus area of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University was investigated between September 2018 and July 2019. The spiders were collected by pitfall traps, sifting and hand aspirators. A total of 86 spider species belonging to 30 families were determined. The most common species in the study area were Amaurobius erberi (Keyserling, 1863) and Pisaura mirabilis (Clerck, 1957).
