Özet
Spiders are an important predator group across many terrestrial crop systems. A survey was conducted in 2009 to determine the compositoin and abundance of spider species in citrus, persimmon, carob, avocado, almond, loquat, fig, and pomegranate plants in the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. Spiders were collected by using a beating method with steiner funnel and a hand aspirator. In total, 45 spider species were identified from 21 families. The taxonomic families of Gnaphosidae, Miturgidae, Salticidae, Theridiidae and Thomosidae were commonly sorted. Twenty-nine species belonging to 16 families were found on citrus trees. Adult/juvenile rate observed was 42%, and male/female rate was 48%, with most juveniles being female. Spider biodiversity was determined using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index according to spider distribution on each crop plant. Although each crop sheltered certain spider species, no avocado-specific spiders were found. The biodiversity index was the highest for Diponema sp. and Chericanthium sp.. Among the colllected species was Clubiona juvenis (Simon, 1878) (Clubionidae), found on the loquat trees, and representing a new record for this spider species in Turkey.
