“…Another remarkable endemic species restricted to the Western Alpine region, is Dysdera cribrata (Dysderidae), found in silver fir woods in the Bois de Gaudissart. This species was already known by the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence Department (Simon 1882(Simon , 1914Isaia & Chiarle 2015), but never recorded before in the Barcelonnette area. The fieldwork carried out within the "Explor'Nature" event has been conducted in several habitat types within the study area.…”

Species traits are an essential currency in ecology, evolution, biogeography, and conservation biology. However, trait databases are unavailable for most organisms, especially those living in difficult-to-access habitats such as caves and other subterranean ecosystems. We compiled an expert-curated trait database for subterranean spiders in Europe using both literature data (including grey literature published in many different languages) and direct morphological measurements whenever specimens were available to us. We started by updating the checklist of European subterranean spiders, now including 512 species across 20 families, of which at least 192 have been found uniquely in subterranean habitats. For each of these species, we compiled 64 traits. The trait database encompasses morphological measures, including several traits related to subterranean adaptation, and ecological traits referring to habitat preference, dispersal, and feeding strategies. By making these data freely available, we open up opportunities for exploring different research questions, from the quantification of functional dimensions of subterranean adaptation to the study of spatial patterns in functional diversity across European caves.

We provide the regional catalogue of the spider species of Aosta Valley (NW Italy, Graian and Pennine Alps) based on literature records and original material collected from 2011 to 2013 in the frame of a collaboration project between the University of Torino and the Regional Museum of Natural Sciences of Aosta Valley. The revision of 1162 literature records scattered in 37 papers published between 1878 and 2015 provided a list of 382 species potentially occurring in this region. On the base of taxonomical and faunistic arguments discussed in the text, we here revise the literature and exclude 74 species from the list, of which seven of unlikely occurrence and 67 in need of verification. The original data here presented raise the total number of species occurring in this region to 384, grouped in 182 genera and 36 families. For each species reported in the catalogue, we provide new collection data, previous literature records, the known distribution and the habitat in which they occurred. Compared with other northern Italian regions and considering its extent, Aosta Valley presents a moderately high number of species, hosting 26% of the species recorded in Italy. In terms of species richness, linyphiids dominate with 99 species (26%), followed by gnaphosids (50 species, 13%), lycosids (45 species, 11%) and salticids (30 species, 7%). Wetlands host cumulatively the highest number of species, followed by shrublands, broadleaved forests and riparian habitats. Regarding chorotypes, most of the species have Palearctic distribution, followed by European and Holarctic species. Alpine endemic species represents 5% of the total.
