Abstract

ABSTRACT: Spider diversity is an important pillar of biological control in agriculture, which has attracted the attention of ecologists globally. Despite its economic and ecological importance in agriculture, limited work is available from Turkey regarding spider diversity. This study investigated spider fauna of some major (wheat, maize and vegetables) and minor (sunflower, groundnut, tobacco, sesame and potato) field crops in southeastern Anatolia region, Turkey. Spider samples were collected from 16 different localities (115 fields) with sweep net and D-Vac machine. A total 212 specimens were classified as 41 species and 21 genera belonging to 18 families. The most commonly observed families were Philodromidae, Salticidae and Thomisidae. The highest spider diversity was found in cereal crops (23 species) followed by vegetable crops (22 species), while sunflower, lentil and potato (2 species each) had the lowest diversity. Thanatus sp., Evarcha sp., Phlegra sp. were the most abundant species in wheat. Cyclosa algerica Simon, 1885 was the first record in spider fauna from maize fields in Turkey. The current study improves the knowledge on spider diversity in Turkey, which can be used in future studies.

土耳其安纳托利亚东南部地区一些大田作物蜘蛛(蜘蛛目)区系

摘要:蜘蛛多样性是农业生物防治的重要支柱，已引起全球生态学家的关注。尽管蜘蛛在农业中的经济和生态重要性，但土耳其关于蜘蛛多样性的工作有限。本研究调查了土耳其安纳托利亚东南部地区几种主要(小麦、玉米和蔬菜)和次要(向日葵、花生、烟草、芝麻和马铃薯)大田作物的蜘蛛区系。采用扫网和D-Vac机在16个不同地点(115个田)采集蜘蛛样本。共采集标本212份，隶属于18科21属41种。最常见的科是飞蛾科、水蛭科和汤蝇科。其中，谷类作物蜘蛛多样性最高(23种)，其次是蔬菜作物(22种)，向日葵、扁豆和马铃薯的蜘蛛多样性最低(各2种)。Thanatus sp.， Evarcha sp.， Phlegra sp.是小麦中最丰富的物种。Cyclosa algerica Simon, 1885是土耳其玉米田中蜘蛛动物群的第一个记录。本研究提高了对土耳其蜘蛛多样性的认识，可用于今后的研究。

期刊介绍： Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
