Population structure of the expansive wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) at the edge of its range

Abstract: Abstract. The wasp spider Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772) is of Mediterranean-Pontian origin, but for decades it has been expanding northwards, including into the territory of Poland. Based on well-documented expansion records, we can distinguish ''old'' (south-eastern and south-western) and ''new'' populations (north-eastern), respectively, from the 1930s to the 2000s. In Poland, some populations of A. bruennichi were expected to be more genetically isolated from others, due to distance effects or differen… Show more

“…We will henceforth refer to the number of days between collection and oviposition as "oviposition latency." In the field, A. bruennichi females lay their eggs into round flask-shaped egg sacs, placed ~20 cm above the ground, in the grass (Wawer et al, 2017;MM Sheffer, personal observation). Females do not guard or tend their egg sacs for extended periods of time, and a single female can produce multiple egg sacs; we refer to the eggs in each egg sac as a "clutch."…”

“…Argiope bruennichi is an orb-weaving spider species with a Palearctic distribution, which has undergone a rapid latitudinal range expansion within Europe in the last century (Follner & Klarenberg, 1995;Algo, 2010;Krehenwinkel & Tautz, 2013;Krehenwinkel, Rödder & Tautz, 2015;Wawer et al, 2017). Krehenwinkel & Tautz (2013) attributed the range expansion to climate-mediated adaptive introgression, with individuals from eastern Asia mixing with the European gene pool via Russia, providing genetic variation that enabled rapid adaptation to the colder, previously unsuitable conditions in northern Europe.…”

“…It would be worthwhile to investigate the genetic patterns of Argiope spp. with relatively extensive distributions, e.g., A. bruennichi (Wawer et al 2017), A. lobata (Lindecke & Wall 2016), A. trifasciata (Levi 1983;, and their influence on taxonomic inference. The paraphyly of Argiope with respect to Gea and Neogea nocticolor was also evident as reported by Tan et al (2016).…”

“…With this chromosome-level genome, we can employ the coverage depth approach to identify sex chromosome sequences in this species. A. bruennichi is a sexually dimorphic species with a Palearctic distribution, which has rapidly expanded its range in Europe over the course of the last century (Krehenwinkel & Tautz, 2013;Krehenwinkel, Rödder, & Tautz, 2015;Wawer et al, 2017). Sex differences in early life stages of these spiders are particularly interesting since juveniles perform aerial dispersal with silk (ballooning), a behavior which is restricted to the first few instars (Krüger, 2014) and might be sex biased (Krehenwinkel et al, 2016).…”
