Natural history and karyotype of some ant-eating zodariid spiders (Araneae: Zodariidae) from Israel

Original language description

Natural history, including phenology, circadian activity, mimicry, reproduction, prey specialization, and karyotype, was studied in the zodariid spiders Trygettus sexoculatus, Zodarion cyrenaicum, Z. lutipes, and Z. nitidum (Zodariidae, Zodariinae) foundin Israel. The spiders were active throughout the year, with maximum seasonal activity in the summer. Two distinct reproductive periods were found for Z. cyrenaicum and for Z. nitidum, one in May and the other in November. Individuals of species studiedwere observed hunting only in the morning. Three zodariid species were found to generally mimic ants: Trygettus sexoculatus mimicked tiny yellow-brown ants such as Monomorium niloticum, Z. cyrenaicum mimicked large black ants such as Messor arenarius, and Z. lutipes mimicked large yellow-brown ants such as Camponotus fellah. The zodariids observed were able to subdue various ant species, from the subfamilies Formicinae, Myrmicinae and Dolichoderinae. Trygettus sexoculatus appeared to sp
