Resumen: Existen muchos tipos de malformaciones en artrópodos, principalmente, aquellas relacionadas al desarrollo de los apéndices, estructuras genitales y ojos. Las anomalías oculares son las más frecuentes en arañas y se han registrado en 22 fami-lias. Entre las malformaciones, destaca la reducción en el número de ojos o ausencia de éstos o redu...
Human activities change the biodiversity of ecological communities in at least three dimensions: ecologically, taxonomically and functionally. Gathering information on these three dimensions allows the improvement of biodiversity assessments and the increased understanding of anthropogenic impact on natural communities. In this study, we analysed t...
Resumen: La familia Theridiidae se encuentra entre las más diversas a nivel mundial, con 124 géneros y 2508 especies. El presente trabajo aporta el primer registro de Asagena fulva para el Estado de México y el primer registro de Euryopis scriptipes para San Luis Potosí. Con ambos registros se amplía el área de distribución conocida en México de es...
New records of Hibana futilis (Banks, 1898) (adult female), Marpissa pikei (Peckham & Peckham, 1888) (adult male), Metacyrba punctata (Peckham & Peckham, 1894) (juveniles) and Paraphidippus fartilis (Peckham & Peckham, 1888) (adult female) from Jalisco state are provided. Marpissa pikei is a new record from Mexico
Faunistic inventories are very important in order to assess the diversity of a particular place, and what can be done with such diversity in terms of conservation, research, management and/or exploitation. Ironically, few studies focus specifically in the taxonomic research. This is especially true in arthropods, which comprises the most diverse an...
The spiders (filo Arthropoda) occupy seventh place in global species richness. The genus Zorocrates Simon, consists of endemic species in Mexico. This arthropod used for feeding or defense, glandular secretions to manipulate their prey (including human), affecting their state of health or causing the death, by what are considered species of medical...

The family Anyphaenidae is composed by 56 genera and 542 species worldwide (World Spider Catalog 2015). These spiders, known as "ghost spiders", are wandering hunters living in a variety of environments, from forests to deserts, and can be quite abundant in different crops such as cotton, sorghum and rice (Brescovit 1996; Young & Edwards 1990; Tayl...
Tropical rain forest fragmentation affects biotic interactions in distinct ways. Little is known, however, about how fragmentation affects animal trophic guilds and their patterns of interactions with host plants. In this study, we analyzed changes in biotic interactions in forest fragments by using a multitrophic approach. For this, we classified...
Arthropod species associated to the tropical herb Heliconia aurantiaca.
Labels according to trophic guilds are: Predators (Pr), Herbivores (Hb), Omnivores (O) and Saprophagous (Sa). Trophic guilds and species are according to Arnett, et al. (2002), Ubick, et al. (2005), Foelix (2011), Groc, et al. (2014). Numbers indicate the abundance of each spec...
The taxonomic revision of the genus Chrosiothes Simon, 1849, was performed in two parts. The first one consisted in revising the diagnostic traits of the genera of the subfamily Spintharinae, as well as building an identification key to the genera of the subfamily, revising the taxonomy of the species of Chrosiothes, and building a key to species o...
The monophyly of Spintharinae is supported in agreement with previous analysis of Theridiidae by Agnarsson and Arnedo et al. We study the relationships of the genera within Spintharinae. Fourteen species in the genera Chrosiothes, Episinus, Spintharus, Stemmops, and Thwaitesia constituted the ingroup, while five species from the genera Euryopis and...
Eucalyptus spp. are commonly planted, forming non-native plantations, including the tropics and their wildlife conservation value is relatively unknown. Recent studies have concluded that secondary forests and tree plantations are less diverse than well-developed tropical rain forests. However, introduced Eucalyptus stands harbored similar species...

La familia Theridiidae es considerada como una de las más grandes, diversas y cosmopolitas; a nivel mundial esta conformada por 109 géneros y 2,293 especies y ocupa el cuarto lugar mundial en diversidad de especies. En México esta familia esta representada por 32 géneros y 227 especies. Los integrantes de esta familia son sedentarios, habitan en ro...
Urban ecology is a relatively new area of research, with urban ecosystems being defined as environments dominated by humans. Insects and arachnids are 2 groups that successfully exploit the habitats offered by human habitations. We analyzed the occurrence and densities of spiders found in houses in México City. We used material collected between 19...
Se dan a conocer siete nuevos registros de arañas para el Estado de México, cinco de la familia Araneidae y dos de la familia Theridiidae,
además de actualizar el listado de especies para estas dos familias en dicho estado. Teniendo registras hasta la fecha 133 especies de arañas en el
Estado de México.
Resumen. La ecología urbana es un área de investigación relativamente reciente. Los ecosistemas urbanos son aquellos defi nidos como ambientes dominados por el hombre. Con el proceso de urbanización, insectos y arácnidos silvestres aprovechan los nuevos microhábitats que las viviendas humanas ofrecen. Se revisaron arañas recolectadas dentro de 109...
La palabra sinantropismo engloba a todos aquellos organismos asociados con los humanos, sus domicilios o edificaciones (Cutler, 1973; Pérez, 1985; Lawrence, 1989; Robinson, 1996). Con la urbanización, insectos y arácnidos silvestres aprovechan los nuevos hábitats que las viviendas ofrecen. Algunos no llegan a establecerse de manera definitiva y sól...
La familia Theridiidae es una de las más diversas y de más amplia distribución; mundialmente incluye 2,227 especies y 86 géneros (Platnick, 2006), ocupando el cuarto lugar a nivel mundial en diversidad específica (Coddington y Levi, 1991). En México sólo ocurren 216 especies distribuidas en 26 géneros (Platnick, 2006).
Habitan en el suelo, encima o...
La gran diversidad biológica en México se expresa geográficamente como un mosaico complejo de distribución de especies y asociaciones; esta complejidad biológica corresponde con la gran heterogeneidad del medio físico (Espinosa et al., 2000). El conocimiento de la distribución geográfica de los organismos en el tiempo y el espacio ha despertado el...
La ecología urbana es un área de investigación relativamente reciente y los ambientes urbanos, consecuentemente, son ecosistemas poco conocidos (Japyassú, 2002). Los ecosistemas urbanizados son aquellos denominados áreas urbanas, en los cuales los seres humanos viven en densidades muy altas y donde las edificaciones cubren grandes extensiones de la...
Urban ecology is a relative new area of research, therefore urban enviroments are poorly understood at this moment. Urban ecosystems are those where buldings cover great land extensions and where human densities are high. Some authors, however call them simply urban areas which are defined as enviroments dominated by human activities or those where...
La diversidad de las arañas en el mundo es tan grande que llega a ocupar el séptimo lugar entre los artrópodos quedando después de los cinco grandes órdenes de insectos (Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera y Hemiptera) y de la clase Acarida. Actualmente cuenta con un estimado de alrededor de 170,000 especies a pesar de que hasta 1988 exis...
