Two new species of the Clubiona corticalis-group from Yunnan Province, China (Araneae, Clubionidae)

Abstract

The present paper describes two new Clubiona corticalis-group species collected from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province of China: Clubiona submoralis sp. n. (♀♂) and Clubiona pollicaris sp. n. (♀♂).

Quantifying the effects of co-composting organic biomass mixtures with inorganic amendments to obtain value-added bio-products

“…Composting is an aerobic process of organic fertilizers formation with microbial activities that can be used as a soil amendment [8][9][10]. The end product of composting is humus-like substances that improve the soil's physio-chemical and biological properties [11][12][13]. Composting is a lengthy decomposition process; to accelerate the composting process and reduce nitrogen loss, various additives like ash, fertilizers, phosphogypsum, jaggery, lime, biochar, FGD gypsum, polyethylene glycol, various bacterial strains are often added to it [14,15].…”

“…At least two generic names are available for the corticalis group, Atalia Thorell, 1887 (type species A. concinna) and Paraclubiona Lohmander, 1944 (type species C. corticalis) (Zhang et al 2018). The two taxa are currently considered junior synonyms of Clubiona (Wu et al 2015;WSC 2021). The corticalis group is one of the most speciose clubionid groups and can be further divided into at least four or five subgroups based on morphological characters and molecular data (pers.…”

“…Xishuangbanna spiders have received a lot of attention because of an "All Species Inventory" which has been conducted by SL and his team during the last 15 years (Li 2020). Clubiona from the region have been studied by Zhang and Yin (1998), Yin et al (2012), Wu et al (2015) and Yu and Li (2019a, b). These studies have described 25 new species and increased the total clubionid species number to 27 in the last 22 years (Yu and Li 2019b).…”

“…Composition and distribution. Based on previous publications (Mikhailov 1995(Mikhailov , 1998Deeleman-Reinhold 2001;Ono and Hayashi 2009;Huang and Chen 2012;Wu et al 2015;Yu and Li 2019a, b;, at least 67 Clubiona species have been assigned to the corticalis group (from rows 1-67 in Table 3). A few other known species (from rows 68-73 in Table 3) resemble to some species in rows 1-67, but as no one indicated the group placement of these species, they are assigned tentatively to the corticalis group in the present paper for the lack of a better solution.…”
