The dataset contains 6,408 records of spiders’ (Arachnida: Araneae) occurrences from the Visimskiy Nature Biosphere Reserve (Middle Urals), what counts 278 species of 146 genera and about 28 460 individuals identified to species level. The vast majority of records are georeferenced and have crucial metadata as date, altitude, habitats (including succession stage if available), collecting method, sampling effort, so can be used in quantitative ecological research.
The dataset is formed on the complex soil- and litter-living invertebrates research mainly which was perforemd at 8 permanent sampling plots. This source has produced about 3/4 of occurrences. Another 1/4 were obtained as addition from temporary sampling plots and sporadic collecting by a variety of methods. Each permanent sampling plot has brief landscape-geograpical and geobotanical description. There was obvious succession on the permanent sampling plots so provided description are relevant at the collecting moment and reflect the relevant succestion stage. Weather data (absent in the dataset but available upon request) comes from field journals and the "Visim" meteorological station.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
(подробности о датасете и его происхождении)Sampling
All data about epigeobiont, soil- and litter-dwelling spiders come from pitfall-traps and litter sifting. Pitfall-traps were installed in a line of 10 ones usually (from 4 to 11). Their duration was 1–2 weeks typically (from 3 days to 3 weeks). Glass cans (an opening diameter is 75 mm), or plastic glasses (an opening diameter is 65 mm), filled by formaldehyde or acetic acid solution were used as traps. We sampled soil litter from surface of 50×50, 20×20 or 15×15 cm, sifted and investigated it on white plastic film. Spiders of herb layer were collected by entomological net sweeping. Quantitative samples come from 5 replications by 20 sweeps unless otherwise defined in thesamplingEffort
field. A small portion of faunistic material was picked by tree or shrub crown shaking and by manual collecting.
Quality Control
The collection is stored in the Perm State University (PSU). A few specimens are stored in the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University (ZMMU). Esyunin S.L. has identified all the adult individuals to the species level. Juvenile individuals were identified to the species, genera or family level depending on informative value of somatic features (body size, shape and coloration, eyes configuration, chaetotaxy etc.). The taxonomical nomenclature accords the World Spider Catalog (2023). The collected material is being a base for more than 30 peer-reviewed articles and 13 reports on specialized conferences.Method steps
