Spider cyberdiversity (Araneae: Araneomorphae) in an ecotouristic tropical forest fragment in Xilitla, Mexico

摘要: The diversity of araneomorph spiders in an ecoturistic tropical forest remnant approximately 40 ha is described. A 1-ha plot with homogeneous vegetation was established. Six sampling methods covered all microhabitats, except tree canopy. Four expeditions were conducted from August 2011 to June 2012. In a total 485 samples, 4,118 adult specimens representing 205 morphospecies collected. Nonparametric richness estimates varied between 229 and 295 species. All collected species documented 2,233 digital images available at www.unamfcaracnolab.com. These are intended expedite identification allow comparisons taxa not formally Morphospecies identifications included: 91 species, 12 as similar described 86 genus 16 family. Differences seasonality revealed that March composition better represented both number than November, although the collecting effort same. similarity ranged 0.35 0.71 among seasons.
