The Spider Fauna of Some Irish Floodplains

The results of a study of the spider fauna of the Irish floodplains are presented. The two sampled sites appeared to be equally rich in species but distinctly different in numbers of specimens trapped and thus in densities of the populations of the species. It is also clearly demonstrated that the a...

Zusammenfassung:The results of a study of the spider fauna of the Irish floodplains are presented. The two sampled sites appeared to be equally rich in species but distinctly different in numbers of specimens trapped and thus in densities of the populations of the species. It is also clearly demonstrated that the activities of the spiders (numbers of specimens trapped) is much higher in June that in August. Among the 63 species recorded for the two sites, both of which are situated in Co Offaly, 33 are new county records and one is new to Ireland.
