“…Porrhoclubiona differs from all other clubionids by having modified setae on the cymbium (Figs 4a, c, d, f, g, i, 5a–c and Bosmans et al 2017: figs 52–79), a retrolateral basal extension of the cymbium (called here a tutaculum, Tu , Figs 4a, c, d, f, g, i, 5g and Bosmans et al 2017: figs 55, 59, 63, 67), a tegular groove ( Tg ) serving as a kind of conductor for the embolus (Figs 4b, c and Bosmans et al 2017: figs 55, 59, 63, 67), the presence (Fig. 4h) of a prolateral tibial apophysis ( Pt ) which is lacking in other genera and strongly reduced, and posteriorly located subtegulum ( St ) (vs. large prolateral subtegulum in other genera).…”

“…There have been several attempts to split this genus either to genera and subgenera (Lohmander 1944; Wunderlich 2011) or to species groups (Mikhailov 1990, 1992, 1995, 2003; Deeleman-Reinhold 2001). One of the most distinct groups of the genus is the Clubionagenevensis -group (Bosmans et al 2017) or subgenusPorrhoclubiona Lohmander, 1944 belonging to Microclubiona Lohmander, 1944. Both subgenus and genus are currently considered in the genus Clubiona , although both sexes have autapomorphies lacking in other clubionids.…”

A survey of the Porrhoclubiona Lohmander, 1944 from Central Asia (Araneae, Clubiondae)

Clubiona Latreille, 1804, with more than 500 named species, is one of the largest genera of Araneae. The genus has 15 synonyms, most of which are not listed in the World Spider Catalog (2018) and unknown to many arachnologists. The most comprehensive survey of Clubiona sensu lato by Wunderlich (2011) also lacked a few synonyms. In this paper all genus group names described in Clubiona are listed with their type species. Most of these names correspond to the species groups recognised in Clubiona sensu lato. We agree that Porrhoclubiona Lohmander, 1944 (= Clubionagenevensis-group) deserves a status of a separate genus and provide the diagnosis of this taxon. Three species of Porrhoclubiona that occur in Central Asia are surveyed, and two of them are described as new to science: P.laudata (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1885), comb. n. (♂♀, Xinjiang, Tibet, China), P.bosmansisp. n. (♂♀, Tajikistan), and P.moradmandisp. n. (♂♀, Fars, Iran). It seems that all records of P.genevensis L. Koch, 1866 from China refer to P.laudata. The records of Clubionavegeta Simon, 1918 from Tajikistan and Iran refer to P.bosmansi sp. n. and P.moradmandi sp. n., respectively. The following new combinations have been established: Porrhoclubionadecora (Blackwall, 1859), comb. n., P.diniensis (Simon, 1878), comb. n., P.leucaspis (Simon, 1932), comb. n., P.minor (Wunderlich, 1987), comb. n., P.pseudominor (Wunderlich, 1987), comb. n., P.pteronetoides (Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001), comb. n., P.vegeta (Simon, 1918), comb. n., P.viridula (Ono, 1989), comb. n., and P.wunderlichi (Mikhailov 1992), comb. n. (all ex. Clubiona). SEM study of the structure considered earlier as scopula in Clubiona and Porrhoclubiona reveals that it is represented by several lateral rows of movable macrosetae (spines) with a locking mechanism.

Dispersal ability and niche breadth influence interspecific variation in spider abundance and occupancy

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The relationship between species local abundance and their regional distribution (occupancy) is one of the most extensively recognized and investigated patterns in ecology. While exceptions exist, the generally held model is that locally abundant species also tend to be more widespread geographically. However, there is only a limited understanding of both the mechanisms driving this relationship, and their scale dependency. Here we use occupancy and abundance data for 123 species of spider from across the Canary Islands to understand how both dispersal ability and niche breadth might mediate variation among species for local abundance and occupancy. We test the predictions that (i) dispersal ability explains variation among species for both abundance and occupancy, and (ii) species with a higher degree of habitat specialization, reflecting more limited niche breadth, will have both higher occupancy and abundance. We find no evidence within habitat patches for an effect of dispersal ability on either local abundance or site occupancy, while across all patches species with higher dispersal ability tend to occupy more sites. Species largely restricted to laurel forests have higher abundance than species with broader niche breadth, but similar occupancy. The study revealed that dispersal ability and niche breadth were significant predictors of the abundance–occupancy relationship, highlighting the importance of both factors for understanding patterns of abundance and occupancy among spider species.
