NIEUWSBRIEF VAN DE BELGISCHE ARACHNOLOGISCHE VERENIGING ARABEL, 34(3):167-178.
103 species of spiders were collected during 3 years continuous sampling with pitfall traps of 2 heathland patches in
Nature Reserve Zevenkerken south-west of Bruges. Several rare and interesting species were discovered and discussed.
Besides a large amount of species characteristic for forest and shrubs also an important part of the spider fauna in these
heathlands consist of species characteristic for dry, oligotrophic grasslands. Also some species of heathland and dunes
were found. 12 species are mentioned as threatened on the Red list of spiders of Flanders. Six species are catalogued as
endangered, six as vulnerable. Restoration of heathland in Zevenkerken and Bruges in general in the context of spider and insect-friendly management are discussed.
