Mermessus trilobatus (Emerton, 1882) View in CoL
Material: 27.4.2014 M3 1m; 13.6.2014 M3 1m; 27.6.2014 M3 1m.
Determination: HELSDINGEN VAN 1982, OGER & PICARD 2014, ŠESTÁKOVÁ et al. 2017.
Global distribution: North America, Europe, introduced to Azores.
Habitat: In nearly all open habitats.
Note: Originally from North America and widely distributed. It is assumed that it was imported into south-western Germany in the 1980s by the US Army (first records for Europe in Germany by DUMPERT & PLATEN 1985) and in Switzerland ( HÄNGGI 1990) and dispersed from there ( HIRNA 2017). Mermessus trilobatus was recorded in European countries equally in natural and non-natural ecosystems ( HIRNA 2017). In our study, it was recorded at M3 habitat a lowland peat meadow. The potential influence of such an invasive species on the structure of native spider communities in the Subotica Sandland is unknown and should be monitored in future.
