Linyphia tenuipalpis Simon (Araneae: Linyphiidae) on Danish heaths [Calluna vulgaris heaths: Linyphia triangularis]
1980
Toft, S. (Aarhus Univ. (Denmark))
A survey of a considerable number of Calluna vulgaris heaths in Jutland, Denmark, in autumn 1979 demonstrated the presence of Linyphia tenuipalpis Simon at 27 localities, so that the species presently is known from 30 localities. In Denmark, tenuipalpis seems restricted to this habitat, but there it may be the dominant large sheet-web spider. This is especially the case where the heather is low and with no other vegetation mixing with the Calluna. In most localities it is found together with Linyphia triangularis (Clerck) which is the dominant species where the heather is richer.
