Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Crna udovica Latrodectus tredecimguttatus nastanjuje južni dio Europe i Azije, a u Hrvatskoj je prisutna u Istri, Primorju, nekim otocima i Dalmaciji. Zbog svog jakog otrova spada među najotrovnije pauke. Detaljan opis različitih staništa i populacija za područje mediteranske Hrvatske do sada nije rađen. U ovom istraživanju se uz pomoć novijih znanstvenih metoda, npr. primjenom data loggera za mjerenje mikroklimatskih uvjeta u staništu, te analizom prehrambenih navika želi doznati više o načinu života ove vrste na različitim staništima u Hrvatskoj. Istraživanjem se provjeravaju svi literaturni nalazi u svrhu njihove potvrde te utvrđuju nova staništa na kojima je zabilježena, kao i određeni ekološki čimbenici prezimljavanja adultnih ženki. Kao zasebni segment ovog doktorskog rada, na temelju analize mitohondrijskog DNA biljega, istražuje se genetska raznolikost i filogeografska struktura vrste na području cijelog hrvatskog priobalja i nekih otoka.- Mediterranean Black widow Latrodectus tredecimguttatus inhabits the southern part of Europe and Asia. In Croatia it is present in Istria, Primorje region, some islands and Dalmatia. Because of its strong venom black widow is one of the most poisonous spiders. Description has not been researched of the various habitats and populations in the Croatian coast. The aim of this study is to learn more about the life of species in different habitats using new scientific methods such as data loggers for measuring microclimate conditions in habitat and analysis of dietary habits. The study checks previous literature as well as it determines new habitats on witch the subject was noted. It also defines specific ecological factors about wintering of adult females. Based on mitochondrial genetic marker, genetic diversity and phylogeographic structure of the species will be estimated throughout its distribution area along the eastern Adriatic coast and some of the islands.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
