Descripción

We present here a database on cave-dwelling spider communities (Arachnida: Araneae) collected within the P.R.I.N. 2022 Project “DEEPCHANGE” (2022MJSYF8), funded by the Ministry of Universities and Research (Italy). The dataset was created by systematically reviewing existing literature and data documenting the presence of subterranean spiders in the Western Italian Alps. Relevant articles were identified, downloaded, and thoroughly reviewed to extract all available records. Collectively, these communities account for 31 unique species and 370 unique geo-referenced occurrence records.

Métodos de muestreo

We gathered information on subterranean habitats in which the presence of subterranean spiders is recorded based on 12 publications (Isaia et al., 2011 and references therein; Isaia et al. 2023; Mammola, 2012; Mammola et al., 2015, 2016a, 2016b, 2017a, 2017b, 2020a; Mammola & Isaia, 2018; Lana et al., 2021; Milano et al., 2022). We also included a few records derived from recent field activities.

Área de Estudio Natural caves, artificial subterranean sites (e.g., mineshafts, bunkers, blockhouses), and other subterranean habitats in the Western Italian Alps (provinces of Piemonte, Liguria, and Val d'Aosta).
Control de Calidad Taxonomic identification was always performed comparing original descriptions and more recent reviews on the taxonomic group by Marco Isaia. Georeferenced data were checked by plotting coordinates on a map.

Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:

  1. Each sample was collected and stored in plastic tubes containing 70–80% ethanol. Spider identification was performed by examining the genitalia and other minute morphological structures. For this purpose, a stereoscopic dissecting microscope with a magnification of 20X to 80X was used.
