	abstract = {Ground dwelling spiders and harvestmen were investigated by the means of pitfall traps at ten different sites between 1490 and 2100 m in the northern Dolomites (Puez-Geisler Nature Park) from 11 April 1995-12 May 1996. Additionally the fauna was sampled by hand. Trapping resulted in 4042 adult spiders (Linyphiidae 44\%; Lycosidae 25\%; Agelenidae 21\%; Gnaphosidae 3\%; other 12 families 5\%) and 129 adult Opiliones (Phalangidae 64\%; Nemastomatidae 29\%; Trogulidae 5\%). Altogether 155 species of spiders and 12 species of Opiliones were recognized, 9 of them will require additional taxonomic studies. Families and zoogeographically important species are discussed and compared with previous studies in the area. Seasonal activities according to TRETZEL (1954) and phenologies are shown. Life cycle types according to SCHAEFER (1976) are given whenever possible. Environmental variables were collected for each site using plant indicator values (ELLENBERG et at. 1991). Canonical correspondence analysis was used to estimate the influence of external factors on the spider communities. Linyphiid and agelenid species occur mainly in woodland, Lycosidae, Gnaphosidae and Thomisidae in alpine and open habitats. Multivariate methods were used to classify the sites based on their spider species composition. There are two main groups: alpine and subalpine habitats which may be further subdivided. According to PESARINI (1994) 29 species are new for Italy, e.g. Asthenargus perforatus, Eperigone trilobata, Latithorax faustus, Microcentria rectangulata, Meioneta orites, Stemonyphantes conspersus, Xysticus obscurus. 29 species are endemic in the Alpine system, 16 species show a boreal-alpine and arcticalpine distribution. Endemic species of the genus Coelotes apparently do not occur in the area studied, whereas Megabunus armatus which is endemic in the SE Alps was collected. Immigrants from the southern border of the Alps are Lepthyphantes cf.},

	abstract = {The monophyletic agelenid genus Barronopsis Chamberlin \& Ivie is revised to include 6 species. The Cuban species B. campephila Alayon and B. cesari Alayon are synonomized under B. barrowsi (Gertsch) and B. jeffersi (Muma), respectively, and B. stephaniae new species is described. Natural history observations, distribution maps, diagnoses and descriptions, and a species identification key including B. texana (Gertsch), B. arturoi Alayon, and B. floridensis (Muma) are provided. Detailed descriptions of the male palpus and female genitalia, a review and evaluation of historical terminology used to describe agelenid palpal bulbs, and a discussion of the utility of certain male palpal characters in resolving phylogeny within Agelenidae are provided. Based on the morphology of the male and female genitalia and morphometric data, two species groups are recognized: a large-bodied B. texana species group (B. texana, floridensis, arturoi, jeffersi) and a small-bodied B. barrowsi species group (B. barrowsi, B. stephaniae). A cladistic analysis of Barronopsis, using Tortolena glaucopis (F. O. P.-Cambridge), Melpomene singula (Gertsch \& Ivie), and species of Agelenopsis Giebel as outgroups identified three most parsimonious trees of 37 steps. The strict consensus tree yielded the following species relationships: (Agelenopsis (((B. texana, B. jeffersi), B. floridensis, B. arturoi), (B. barrowsi, B. stephaniae))))).},

	abstract = {Microhabitat selection is important for invertebrates in both summer and winter, but has not been investigated extensively in alpine terrestrial communities. We investigated the factors affecting microhabitat selection by alpine invertebrates in a system of rock slab pavement on the Rock and Pillar Range, Central Otago, New Zealand. We found fewer individuals of most groups under the 379 rocks re-examined during the winter. Logistic regression was used to model the presence of the cockroach Celatoblatta quinquemaculata (Dictyoptera: Blattidae); the alpine weta Hemideina maori (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae); and the spider Neoramia childi (Aranea: Agelenidae). We found that rock refuge size and season were extremely important in determining presence of all of these species, and that both abiotic and biotic aspects of rock microhabitat were necessary to describe occupancy. We also found clear evidence of biological interactions between the three species modelled. The marked decrease in under-rock occupancy by C. quinquemaculata in the winter is hypothesised to be a result of selection of alternative (non-rock) microhabitats.},

The study entailed comparison of juvenile male and female behavior with respect to three traits previously shown to be linked to female body mass and ultimately to individual female fitness: habitat discrimination, territorial behavior, and agonistic behavior. As juveniles, male and female spiders behave similarly: they utilize the same habitat cues in locating web sites, maintain similar territory sizes, and exhibit the same behavior patterns in territorial disputes. Like females, males that obtain the highest-quality web sites achieve a greater body mass and are more likely to survive to maturity.},

Lepthyphantes rupium THALER, 1984 is a narrow endemic relict, which presumably survived glaciation on the nunatak system. Meioneta orites (THORELL, 1875), Troglohyphantes subalpinus THALER, 1967 and Cryphoeca lichenum lichenum L. KOCH, 1876 are endemic in the Alps, and reimmigrated from peripheral massifs de refuge. Xysticus macedonicus SILHAVY 1944 is a balkano-pontomediterranean species with the northern limit of its distribution area in the Bavarian Alps. Chalcoscirtus alpicola (L. KOCH, 1876) occurs discontinuously in the Holarctic mountains.},
