Abstract
A synthesis is given of 30 years of galapagoan spider fauna research, including an historical overview of spider sampling in the archipelago. A total of 11,437 specimens originating from 688 sampling localities are analyzed. In total 175 spider species are reported of which 152 could be identified or were described as new. The remaining 23 species could only be identified to morpho-species level and they may be new to science and thus endemic. Two basic conclusions could be made from this first analysis of the existing data. 1° Single islands or island groups can be characterized by a specific spider community, and 2° the well-differentiated climax vegetation zones of Isla Santa Cruz can also be characterized by a specific spider community.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
