Trophic and Temporal Niche Interactions in Sympatric Populations of Eremobates Palpisetulosus Fichter and E. Mormonus (Roewer) (Solpugida: Eremobatidae) by Fred Punzo

“…Seventy eight percent of the diet of E. palpisetulosus consisted of hard-bodied orthopteran and coleopteran insects, whereas 77% of the diet of E. mormonus consisted of softer-bodied dipteran, heteropteran, and orthopteran insects as well as spiders. No significant dietary differences were found between sexes. …”

Four new araneogenous species and a new genus in Hypocreales (Clavicipitaceae, Cordycipitaceae) from the karst region of China by Wan-Hao Chen, Dan Li, Hui-Lin Shu, Jian-Dong Liang, Jie-Hong Zhao, Wei-Yi Tian, Yan-Feng Han

“…Four fungal species belonging to Chlorocillium (Clavicipitaceae) and Gamszarella (Cordycipitaceae) were isolated from dead spiders. Morphological comparisons, phylogenetic analyses and a PHI analysis based on multigene datasets support the establishment of these new species viz., Chlorocillium guizhouense sp. nov., C. vallense sp. nov., Gamszarella sinensis sp. nov., and G. vallensis sp. nov. are introduced. …”
