Maratus pavonis

description: The pavonis group
Dunn first used the Latin word for "peacock" (pavo) when he described M. pavonis in 1947. He later wrote an account of the display of this spider in a now-defunct Australian magazine, Walkabout (Dunn 1957). At the time, only two species in this group were known, M. pavonis and M. splendens. Males within this group can often be identified by the presence of a large red circle or "target" on the fan, but this is often obscured or replaced by a covering of light brown scales. Some males do not even raise their fan as they display. Spiders of Western Australia presently identified as either M. pavonis, M. pavonis var. brunneis, or M. pavonis var. nornalup (Otto & Hill 2012 c, 2012e; Baehr & Whyte 2016) are included here with M. pavonis but need further study. Unlike the eastern M. pavonis, the fan of these western spiders may have large lateral flaps or more light-brown scale cover, and the legs may have fewer markings.

description: Genus Holopus d’Orbigny, 1837
Type species: Holopus rangii d’Orbigny, 1837, pp. 6–8, pl. 1, by monotypy.
Other species: Holopus alidis Bourseau et al., 1991; H. mikihe new species; H. spileccense (Schlüter, 1878).
Diagnosis: (After Rasmussen, 1978, p. T838.) “Cup tubular, more or less irregular, commonly with radial ridges or rows of tubercles. Wall of cup very thick, radial cavity moderate. Upper edge more or less five-sided. Radial articular face[t] for arms rather large, sloping slightly outward. Interarticular ligament fossae large. Radials and arms different in size, more or less distinctly arranged as group of 3 larger arms and group of 2 smaller arms. Arms stout, strongly curved, each branch with up to 25 to 30 brachials forming spiral and meeting laterally as cover over ventral side of theca when retracted. Proximal 3 to 10 large secundibrachials are succeeded by distinctly smaller brachials. Some brachials may be irregular, often smaller and triangular to fit within cover. Orals large, triangular.”
Remarks: The Holopodidae includes only two genera, Holopus and Cyathidium Steenstrup, 1847. In Cyathidium, the more cap-like crown includes arms that are greatly reduced in comparison with those of Holopus, and are not visible when enrolled (Roux et al., 2002, pp. 808, 819). The reported divergent molecular signatures of Holopus and Cyathidium are considered to be an artifact, as was also suggested by Cohen et al. (2004). We recognize the close relationship of the two genera, as demonstrated by their numerous morphological similarities and distinctness from all other crinoid taxa (Heinzeller et al., 1996).

description: A new labdane diterpene (1), two new norsesquiterpenoids (2-3), as well as eight known terpenoids (4-11) were isolated from the seeds of Alpinia galanga (Zingiberaceae). Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by 1D, 2D NMR, MS, and comparison of their experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD). The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of all the isolated compounds (1-11) were evaluated and the result showed that compounds 6 and 9 had inhibitory activity against AChE, with IC50 values at 295.70 and 183.91 μM, whereas other compounds did not show any inhibitory activity.

description: Unsere Wahrnehmung und alle unsere Handlungen werden durch unsere Sinne bestimmt. Die sensorische Information, die in neuronaler Aktivität kodiert ist, wird sowohl durch Verhaltens- als auch durch Erregungszustände beeinflusst. In den Neurowissenschaften werden eine Vielzahl von statistischen Modellen verwendet, um Daten zu analysieren und Vorhersagen zu treffen. Statistische Modelle erklären Beziehungen zwischen relevanten Variablen und ermöglichen es, zugrunde liegende Mechanismen zu verstehen. Diese Dissertation enthält vier Studien, in denen die neuronale Aktivität von Mäusen untersucht wurde. Die erste Studie untersucht die Verarbeitung kortikaler Rückkopplungssignalen im Thalamus mithilfe eines generalisierten linearen Modells. Die zweite Studie verwendet einen Gruppierungsalgorithmus, um die zelluläre Heterogenität in der lateralen Habenula und die Verarbeitung aversiver Informationen zu untersuchen. Die dritte Studie erforscht genauer, welche neuronalen Mechanismen den Bedrohungsassoziationen in der Habenula zugrunde liegen. In der letzten Studie werden Neurone im Locus coeruleus basierend auf ihren unterschiedlichen elektrophysiologischen Eigenschaften in noradrenerge und nicht-noradrenerge Neuronen klassifiziert. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf neurotransmitter-spezifische Dynamiken bei der Stressregulation hin. Die Synergien zwischen Statistik und Neurowissenschaften bieten enormes Potenzial. Erkenntnisse über neuronale Mechanismen können auch helfen die Robustheit von künstlichen Systemen und die Interpretierbarkeit von maschinellen Lernmodellen zu verbessern. Insgesamt stellt diese Dissertation ein innovatives Beispiel für Forschung an der Schnittstelle von Biologie und Datenwissenschaft dar und zeigt, wie wir durch die Anwendung von statistischen Analysen unser Gehirn besser verstehen können.

This species was originally described from Mt. Ragged in Western Australia but has since been found also at Geraldton (Western Australia) and the Eyre Peninsula (South Australia), both far from the original location. Males are similar to M. maritimus but they elevate their fan as they display to females.

The fan of M. nimbus males has a distinctive pattern of scales and setae on the fan, mostly in subdued hues. This resembles a pastel painting of the sky at dawn with white cirrus clouds against a sky of iridescent blue scales, hence the species name nimbus. The eliptical fan has no flaps and when it is fully expanded as shown here it is surrounded by an array of large bristle-like setae. These have been found under Iris in a well-watered garden at Bordertown, but also in the dry interior.

description: The spicatus group
This group includes four small (2.5-4 mm in body length) species. Males rear their colourful fan and wave it from side to side. Except for M. nimbus they do not extend legs III as they display to females. Legs III have no special markings and are close to legs IV in length. The male pedipalp of each species has a conical proximal tegulum, an inward projection on the medial side of the relatively large circular ring of the embolus, and the apex of the embolus has a convergent inner and outer edge that resembles that seen in members of the chrysomelas group, a group that may be closely related. The male of each of these species is nonetheless quite distinct.

Maratus velutinus

description: The velutinus group
The two members of this group are similar but can be separated by the stripes on the carapace of M. velutinus. Males of both species have a velvety-black fan with elongated, black dorsal scales (or squamous setae after Waldock 2015) that extend to the rear. The fan is raised and moved from side to side but they do not raise legs III as they display to females.

Waldock (2015) noted the similarity of this species to M. velutinus. The fan bears a short, narrow anteromedian stripe comprised of iridescent scales bounded by brown scales. This species was recently described from Tasmania but has also been found at several other locations. The male shown here is from Canberra.

description: Frankliniella invasor Sakimura (Fig. 38)
 Diagnosis. The thinner apical dorsal setae of the antennal segment II (Fig. 38B) and saucer-shaped pedicel of antennal segment III (Fig. 38C) distinguishes this species from the similar F. funderburki.
 Distinguishing features. Color. Body, forewings, legs pale. Abdominal tergites often with darker anteromedial shading and/or small dark anteroangular blotches (Fig. 38A). Pigmented ventral eye facets with the 0-1-2 pattern. Structure. Antennal segment II dorsal apical setae similar in thickness to the same setae on segments III–V (Fig. 38B). Antennal segment III with a basal oval collar surmounted by narrow disc with acute lateral angles, pedicel saucer-shaped with acute lateral angles (Fig. 38C). Head with the PO1 setae, OC3 setae in position 2B (Fig. 38D). Pronotum usually with 4 mAM setae (Fig. 38D). Upper surface of the hind coxae with microtrichia. Abdominal tergite VIII posteromarginal comb complete.
 Interception frequency. Uncommon.
 Region(s) of interceptions. North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
 Comments. Described from specimens collected in Hawaii and Puerto Rico F. invasor is speculated to have originated from the Caribbean-Central American region (Sakimura 1972).

Maratus vespa

description: The vespa group
This group is closely related to the linnaei group and it is also endemic to the southwestern corner of Australia. As do members of that group, vespa group males move their fan from side to side in front of attentive females at a distance of only a few millimeters, framed by their elevated and heavily fringed legs III. However vespa group males have prominent lobate flaps, and the lateral margins of these flaps are ornamented in a manner that attract a female when they are rotated far to the left or right behind the legs III. This remarkable and diverse group was only recently discovered.

The species name aquilus is a reference to the fact that, when viewed upside-down, the fan of the male resembles the head of an eagle with its beak wide open. In one mode of display males tightly bracket the small "beak" on the fan between their extended legs III, and attending females look at this closely.

M. cristatus males come in two colours, brown as shown here and white. The pattern and colour of setae on the fan resembles the Union Jack, and the eight tufts of long white setae that extend behind the posterior margin of the fan make it easy to recognize this species. The name cristatus means "tufted" and this is also the species name of the Peacock (Pavo cristatus).

Note. The studied amber specimen shows the combination of characters unequivocally corresponding to the subfamily Silvaninae: subparallel body shape; pentamerous tarsi with tarsomere 4 smallest; closed procoxal cavities; 11-segmented antennae with distinct, loose antennal club; antennal scape comparatively short, about as long as wide; frons laterally without longitudinal sulcus; and frontoclypeal suture absent.
The beetle under consideration is assigned to Cathartosilvanus based on the combination of the following characters: (1) lateral sides of pronotum not dentate; (2) anterolateral denticle on pronotum present and located behind anterior margin of pronotum; (3) all tarsomeres simple (not lobed and not incrassate); (4) abdominal ventrite 1 with femoral lines open; (5) antennomere 8 not narrower than antennomere 7; (6) antennal club 3-segmented with first segment narrower than second; (7) antennomere 11 not obviously elongate; (8) antennomeres without spines; and (9) apical segment of labial palp not smaller than previous segment.

description: Frankliniella kelliae Sakimura (Fig. 39)
 Diagnosis. This pale species is similar to Frankliniella difficilis* Hood. The females of the congeners are indistinguishable. However, in male specimens, a complete abdominal tergite VIII posteromarginal comb on F. kelliae and absence of the comb on F. difficilis * separates the two congeners (Sakimura 1981).
 Distinguishing features. Color. Body, forewings, legs pale. Abdominal tergites often with small dark anteroangular blotches (Fig. 39A). Pigmented ventral eye facets with the 0-1-2 pattern. Structure. Antennal segment III pedicel mushroom-shaped, lateral angles blunt (Fig. 39B). Head with the PO1 setae, OC3 setae in position 2A (Fig. 39C). Pronotum usually with 4 mAM setae (Fig. 39C). Upper surface of the hind coxae with microtrichia. Abdominal tergite VIII posteromarginal comb complete (Fig. 39D).
 Interception frequency. Rare.
 Region(s) of interceptions. North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
 Comments. The type series of F. difficilis * specimens were described from Guadeloupe and Martinique (Hood 1925). Interestingly a thrips faunal survey of Guadeloupe and Martinique by Etienne et al. (2015) recorded collection of F. kelliae but no subsequent collection of the similar F. difficilis *.

The courtship display of the M. tortus male is very unusual in that only one ornamented side of the fan is displayed to a female at a time, even when the fan is held at the center as shown here. Rotation of the fan, twisted (hence the name tortus) from one side to the other and then back again, is complicated but follows a regular pattern that is described in detail with the published description of this species.

It can be distinguished from M. cristatus by the division of the red anteromedial tract of the fan in that species, as well as by several details of the courtship display.

Maratus vespertilio

description: The vespertilio group
This includes the widely-distributed M. vespertilio and a second species, M. sapphirus, known from only two localities on the southern coast of New South Wales. These are similar in appearance but M. sapphirus has a more eliptical fan with a well-defined pattern of pigmented scales on a background of iridescent scales at the center. In M. vespertilio males the fan is more lobate, legs I and II have a dense cover of off-white to light yellow setae, and legs III are decorated with dark anterior femora and a fringe of long white setae extending below the patella to metatarsus. This agrees with the observation that legs III figure prominently in both courtship and agonistic displays of M. vespertilio.

Maratus sapphirus Otto & Hill 2017c
This species was first found near Barraga Bay on the "Sapphire Coast" of New South Wales, but has now been found near Sydney. The tightly packed iridescent scales on the flaps of the males are thought to resemble sapphires, hence the name sapphirus. During courtship display the fan is rotated from side to side at irregular intervals at a low amplitude (only several degrees in either direction). Except for side-stepping, leg and pedipalp movement is not important to this display.
