Abstract

In this study, spider diversity on herbaceous plants of Samsun province was investigated. Spider specimens were collected between 2015 and 2018 by using sweeping net, aspirators, and tweezer methods, and stored at -20 ˚C and in 96% ethyl alcohol. Most spiders were found on and around the Asteraceae family. Morphological descriptions are based on the spiders of the Palearctic region and nomenclature is based on the world spider catalog. As a result of the identification, from 397 spider samples belonging to 10 families, 12 genera and 15 species were determined. These are; Phylloneta impressa (L. Koch, 1881), Enoplognatha ovata (Clerck, 1757), Heterotheridion nigrovariegatum (Simon, 1873), Oxyopes lineatus Latreille, 1806, Tetragnatha montana Simon, 1874, Tetragnatha extensa (Linnaeus, 1758), Pulchellodromus pulchellus (Lucas, 1846), Evarcha arcuata (Clerck, 1757), Misumena vatia (Clerck, 1757), Runcinia grammica (C. L. Koch, 1837), Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772), Argiope lobata (Pallas, 1772), Neoscona adianta (Walckenaer, 1802), Neoscona byzanthina (Pavesi, 1876), Araneus quadratus Clerck, 1757. In the study, findings represent the first detailed spider records from herbaceous plants in the Samsun province.

Samsun (Türkiye) İli Otsu Bitkiler Üzerindeki Örümcek Çeşitliliği

Abstract

Bu çalışma da, Samsun ili otsu bitkileri üzerinde bulunan örümcek çeşitliliği araştırılmıştır. Örümcek örnekleri 2015-2018 yılları arasında atrap, aspiratör ve pens yardımı ile toplanarak -20 ˚C de ve %96’lık etil alkolde muhafaza edilmiştir. Örümcekler çoğunlukla Astaraceae familyası üzerinden ve etrafından toplanmıştır. Morfolojik tanımlamalar Palearktik bölge örümcekleri temel alınarak tanımlanmış ve isimlendirmeler dünya örümcek kataloğuna göre düzenlenmiştir. Teşhisler sonucunda, araştırma bölgesinden toplanan 397 adet örümcek örneğinden 10 familyaya ait 12 cins ve 15 tür tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen türler şu şekildedir; Phylloneta impressa (L. Koch, 1881), Enoplognatha ovata (Clerck, 1757), Heterotheridion nigrovariegatum (Simon, 1873), Oxyopes lineatus Latreille, 1806, Tetragnatha montana Simon, 1874, Tetragnatha extensa (Linnaeus, 1758), Pulchellodromus pulchellus (Lucas, 1846), Evarcha arcuata (Clerck, 1757), Misumena vatia (Clerck, 1757), Runcinia grammica (C. L. Koch, 1837), Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772), Argiope lobata (Pallas, 1772), Neoscona adianta (Walckenaer, 1802), Neoscona byzanthina (Pavesi, 1876), Araneus quadratus Clerck, 1757. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular Samsun iline ait otsu bitkilerden tespit edilen ilk detaylı örümcek kayıtlarıdır.
