With this publication, we contribute to the knowledge of the arachnofauna of Cabo Verde, focusing specifically on the Islands of Santo Antão and São Vicente. Data were obtained from samples collected as part of the project "Macaronesian Islands as a testing ground to assess biodiversity drivers at multiple scales" (FCT - MACDIV, 2015-2018). This project aimed to identify the factors influencing community assembly in Macaronesian islands. For the Cabo Verde Islands, we focused on dry habitats with the additional aim to revise the aracnofauna of this poorly-known fauna. We applied the COBRA (Conservation Oriented Biodiversity Rapid Assessment) sampling protocol in ten 50 m x 50 m dry shrub plots, with five on each of the two islands, using pitfall traps, sweep-netting and active search. Additional ad-hoc samples were also collected and reported.
Our sampling of spiders from Cabo Verde (Santo Antão and São Vicente) yielded a total of 3,368 specimens, of which 1300 (39%) were adults. The samples include 21 families, 87 species, 18 of which are morphospecies awaiting formal identification or description at species level. Species in the families Oxyopidae (2 spp.) and Araneidae (8 spp.) were the most abundant, making up 49% of the specimens. From the 68 named species, 14 are endemic to Cabo Verde, 40 are native non-endemic and 14 are introduced. The colonisation status of Platnick, 1991 is unknown. Endemic species accounted for 24% (n = 818) of the specimens and native non-endemic for 63% (n = 2122). A total of 29 species were new records for Cabo Verde, with 15 for Santo Antão, seven for São Vicente and seven for both Islands.
通过本出版物,我们为佛得角蜘蛛动物群的知识贡献力量,特别关注圣安唐岛和圣维森特岛。数据来自作为“马卡罗尼西亚群岛作为评估多尺度生物多样性驱动因素的试验场”项目(FCT - MACDIV,2015 - 2018)一部分所收集的样本。该项目旨在确定影响马卡罗尼西亚群岛群落组装的因素。对于佛得角群岛,我们专注于干燥栖息地,另外还旨在修订这种鲜为人知的动物群的蜘蛛动物群。我们在十个50米×50米的干燥灌木地块中应用了COBRA(以保护为导向的生物多样性快速评估)采样协议,在两个岛屿上各有五个地块,使用陷阱诱捕、扫网和主动搜索的方法。还收集并报告了额外的临时样本。
我们对来自佛得角(圣安唐岛和圣维森特岛)的蜘蛛进行采样,共获得3368个标本,其中1300个(39%)为成虫。样本包括21个科、87个物种,其中18个是形态物种,有待在物种层面进行正式鉴定或描述。猛蛛科(2种)和园蛛科(8种)的物种最为丰富,占标本的49%。在68个已命名的物种中,14个是佛得角特有种,40个是本地非特有种,14个是引入种。普拉特尼克1991年的定殖状态未知。特有物种占标本的24%(n = 818),本地非特有物种占63%(n = 2122)。共有29个物种是佛得角的新记录,其中15个在圣安唐岛,7个在圣维森特岛,7个在两个岛屿上均有记录。
