    The importance of artificial underground habitats for biodiversity is becoming more and more apparent. Abandoned railway tunnels are artificial, underground habitats of considerable biodiversity, including several species of conservation concern. We surveyed 16 abandoned railway tunnels in 2014 in Romania for the following faunal groups: amphibians, terrestrial isopods, and spiders. Amphibians occurred primarily in flooded tunnels, isopods were present in moist tunnels with woody debris, while spiders were widespread and exhibited the greatest diversity in railway tunnels. Some species of amphibians breed in tunnels. The greatest diversity was observed in the entrance zones of tunnels; because railway tunnels are generally isolated from the surrounding rock, they can be colonized only from the entrances. In areas lacking natural subterranean cavities and habitats, railway tunnels are important habitats for many species, including troglophilic spiders and soil-dwelling isopods.
  • Wolf spider (Araneae: Lycosidae) assemblages of a deciduous forest in north-western Romania

    Entomologia Generalis, 2015
    Wolf spider (Araneae: Lycosidae) assemblages were studied in a deciduous forest from a Natura 2000 site in north-western Romania. A number of 1661 adults belonging to 19 species were collected by pitfall trapping. The highest abundance was achieved by Pardosa alacris in all of the three analyzed sites (marsh, forest edge, forest interior), followed by Trochosa spinipalpis in the marsh and forest, Trochosa terricola in the edge and forest, Alopecosa pulverulenta, Piratula hygrophila in the marsh and Arctosa lutetiana in the edge. Both the observed and estimated species richness was greatest in the marsh, while the inventory completeness was highest in the edge. The presence of some rare species (Hygrolycosa rubrofasciata, Pardosa maisa) along with the different composition of the wolf spider communities highlight the need of conserving the original (micro)habitat heterogeneity of natural forests for ensure the survival of diverse ground-dwelling spider assemblages.
  • Winter-active wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) in thermal habitats from western Romania

    Journal of Natural History, 2015
    Shores of channels with thermal water provide an adequate microclimate for maintaining wolf spiders in activity during winter. Of the spiders collected after the winter survey of 22 thermal habitats from western Romania, 93.02% were juveniles and subadults, while the remaining individuals belonged to the following seven species: Arctosa leopardus, Pardosa amentata, Pardosa proxima, Pirata piraticus, Piratula latitans, Trochosa robusta and Trochosa ruricola. The reproductive period of some species is altered under the influence of neighbouring hot waters, as revealed by the capture of females with egg sacs and spiderlings, during winter.
  • Alopecosa psammophila Buchar, 2001 (Araneae: Lycosidae): Morphometric data and first record for Romania
    Éva-Hajnalka SAS-KOVÁCS, István SAS-KOVÁCS, István URÁK
    Turkish Journal of Zoology, 2015
    The present work reports for the first time the occurrence of Alopecosa psammophila (Araneae: Lycosidae) in Romania. It was identified in the autumn of 2013 in 2 habitats located in northwestern Romania, at a Natura 2000 site. Both habitats are represented by open and dry sandy grasslands. Comparison of standard body measurements showed that males have longer legs than females, but the total body length of females is greater than that of males.
