Description

The dataset is based on the results of a long-term project, `Spiders of the Udmurt Republic` (2007–2018), with some additional data. Samples come from 53 geographical points providing about 10 500 records in the dataset with more than 35 000 specimens recorded. The dataset can help to explore regional fauna, regional and general species distribution, their monitoring, conservation, phenology, and relations with biotic and abiotic conditions.

Geographic Coverage

All collecting points are limited by administrative borders of the Udmurt Republic, one of the federal subjects of the Russian Federation. Being 42 000 km^2 of area, it extends 300 km in North-South direction and 200 km in West-East one. The studied region belongs to the East of the Russian plain, borders with the western piedmont of the Ural Mountains, and is situated in the interstream area of the Vyatka and Kama rivers [Illarionov, 2009]. Relief of the republic can be defined as a hilly plain. Regional altitudes lay within 52 and 333 m above sea level [Podsosova, 1972]; collecting points lay between 61 and 254 meters. The territory belongs to southern taiga (1/3) and mixed forests (2/3) subzones. The Southernmost area is under the intense influence of the forest-steppe, which reflects on spider fauna notably [Shadrin, 1999; Baranova et al., 2010].

Taxonomic Coverage

The array of data is devoted to spiders (order Araneae) entirely and includes 403 exact spider species of 181 genus and 26 families. Additionally, there are three specimens of Archaeodictyna (Dictynidae), Decipiphantes (Linyphiidae), and Theridiosoma (Theridiosomatidae) genus with unclear species status and required further taxonomic investigations. Stored or only registered specimens have the age-sex distribution: males (40 %), females (28 %), subadult spiders (11 %), juveniles (21 %).

Project Data

L.K. Krulikovskiy [1892, 1908, 1915] provided the first data about spiders of Udmurt Republic territory. Long after, V.P. Tyshchenko noted ten spider species occurring in the Udmurt Republic in his famous book [Tyshchenko, 1971]. T.L. Zubko carried out the first purposeful faunistic research of the spiders of the republic between 1978 and 1981 [Zubko, Roshchinenko, 1981]. She recorded 72 spider species, published an article (link), but her collection is currently lost. In 2007, I started second-stage research of Udmurtia spiders focused on their fauna, diversity, biogeography, ecology, and community structure. The study went on in close cooperation with prof. S.L. Esyunin (Perm State University) and prof. S.V. Dedyukhin (Udmurt State University). The first published article [Sozontov, Esyunin, 2012] boosted known spider species 2.5 times (Table). In 2013, I reviewed the entire research history to summarize all published data and outline prospects of future investigations [Sozontov, 2013]. After that, a few articles about fauna, biogeography, and taxonomy were published [Adakhovskiy et al., 2012; Sozontov, 2015; Sozontov, Esyunin, 2015; Esyunin, Sozontov, 2015]. Finally, Ph.D. thesis "Fauna and ecology of spiders (Aranei) of the Udmurt Republic: diversity, habitat distribution, community structure," concerning spider fauna structure and genesis, spider communities diversity and structure and their spatiotemporal variation, contains an integrated analysis of all the data [Sozontov, 2018]. The research project was done according to the principles and method of ecological-faunistic investigations [Dedyukhin, 2011]. The main idea of this approach to field studies is a combination of comprehensive collecting within reference local faunas [Chernov, 1989; Chernov, Penev, 1993; Penev, 1996] and route census collecting. This balance enables comparing quantitative data from local faunas and getting a dense cloud of occasional collecting points (45 ones). The second aspect is undoubtedly helpful for explore the regional distribution of species and maximizing the proportion of discovered fauna. Well-known local faunas for the project are "Siva" permanent field study station (912 samples and 2888 specimens), Ust»-Belsk (581 and 1791), Golushurma (457 and 1952), Sokolovka (544 and 7492), «Sirius» SNT (826 and 3047), «Skipidarka» Urochishche (203 and 877), Chutyr (828 and 2447), Hohryaki (123 and 773) (marked as red stars on the map, Fig. 1). Apart from the above said, the ecological-faunistic approach assumes sampling by a set of methods within all vegetation story ranges.

Sampling Methods

Field studies were carried out using commonly accepted methods: lines of pitfall traps, entomological net, litter sifting, and manual collecting [Tyshchenko, 1971; Woodcock, 2005; Oliger, 2010]. Plastic cups with 7 cm diameter served as pitfall traps and 4% acetic acid with a pellet of surface-active substance as killing and preserving agents. Traps lines included 5 to 15 ones, with a spacing of 3 m. Aside from own materials, the dataset involves purposeful collections of S.V. Shirobokova, K.S. Tatarkin, E.S. Shirobokova, A.V. Uskova, and S.V. Dedyukhin, and specimens occasionally collected by other colleagues, listed as legit collectors in the "recordedBy" DarwinCore column.

Study Extent The dataset includes spider (order Araneae) species occurrences within administrative borders of the Udmurt Republic. The studied region is placed on the East of the Russian Plain, near Middle Urals, and belongs to the southern taiga and mixed forests subzones. The collection contains material picked up during 12 years, from 2007 to 2018. The collection had been carried out for 12 years: from 2007 to 2018. Typical seasonal coverage is from May to September, with a few exceptions. The total ratio of years and months is provided bellow. Years, %: 2007 - 1, 2008 - 1, 2009 - 2, 2010 - 1, 2011 - 9, 2012 - 11, 2013 - 9, 2014 - 7, 2015 - 4, 2016 - 19, 2017 - 27, 2018 - 9. Months, %: May - 6, June - 52, July - 25, August - 14, September - 2, October to April - 1. There are a total of 53 observed sampling places, collapsing to 21 types of biotopes: Floodplain oak forests, Riverain deciduous forest strips, Watershed lime-forests, Pine forests, Spruce-fir forests, Dark coniferous forests with lime, Floodplain steppificated meadows, Bottomland meadows, Upland meadows, Sloping steppificated meadows, Edges of deciduous forests, Edges of mixed forests, Edges of pine-forests, Open raised bogs, Forested raised bogs, Open lake/pond shores, Open river banks, Alder grove, Heated dwellings, Unheated premises, Agrocoenosis.
Quality Control All collected spider specimens are wet-preserved in 70% alcohol. Stored material is shared between the Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology (IPAE UB RAS, Ekaterinburg, prevailing part), Perm State University (Perm), Udmurt State University (Izhevsk), Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University (Moscow). The majority of the material has identification to species level (71 %), another part – to genus level (29 %, primarily juveniles). Species identification was performed mainly by the author; about 10% of specimens were cross-checked or identified by prof. S.L. Esyunin (Perm). Taxonomy nomenclature complies with the World Spider Catalog (WSC, 2021).
