Autorzy tego artykułu podają dane o występowaniu i ekologii trzech mało znanych pająków myrmekofilnych (Acartauchenius scurrilis O. P.-Cambridge, Thyreosthenius biovatus O. P.-Cambridge i Mastigusa arietina Thorell) na Słowacji. Zwłaszcza górskie notowanie M. arietina u podnóża Zachodnich Tatr jest bardzo niezwykłe.

Abstract The authors of this article provide data on the occurrence and ecology of three little-known myrmecophilous spiders (Acartauchenius scurrilis O.P.-Cambridge, Thyreosthenius biovatus O.P.-Cambridge and Mastigusa arietina Thorell) in Slovakia. The mountain record of M. arietina at the foot of the Západné Tatry Mts is especially remarkable.

Abandoned pastures are frequent phenomenon throughout central Europe due to the reduction of grazing. This also concerns the abandoned pasture near the village of Malé Kršteňany (Western Slovakia). We dealt with the research of spiders in this site in 2015 and spring of 2017. Despite it is a secondary anthropogenous habitat, the fauna of spiders is relatively rich, including infrequent or up to rare species, including Theonina cornix, Phycosoma inornatum, Altella biuncata, Brommella falcigera, Mastigusa arietina, Diaea livens, Tmarus stellio, Chalcoscirtus brevicymbialis, Pellenes nigrociliatus and Haplodrassus kulczynskii. The species of warm and moderate habitats are highly prevailing here – together it is 97%. The analysis of the spider faunal composition according to originality of habitat is even more interesting. The share of climax species is surprisingly high – 54.83%, despite this habitat is not at all ‘pristine’. Experts opinions on the climax, especially those of a conservative nature, require revision and a comprehensive view of modern ecology. We suppose that some particular stages of the on-going succession process can be interpreted as "partial climax stages" tending towards the ‘final’ arrangement of the biota. It is necessary to emphasize that the climax is not at the ‘definitive’ and ‘constant’ stage, on the contrary, it is a highly dynamic and variable process.

The article endeavours to explore the names of spiders and reptiles; these exotic animals are often considered atypical and may evoke various (and sometimes strong) responses and emotions in people. The research material was gathered through a survey. The corpus of zoonyms comprises 341 names of spiders and reptiles, of which 177 are Czech and 164 are Polish. The aim of the article is to pinpoint the core trends in naming of these species, present the sources of motivation thereof, and discuss the word formation mechanisms involved. Emphasis is placed on the so-called “second, supplementary names” and the most common names of spiders and reptiles. The text does also highlight the core factors that, according to the survey, made the study participants commit to owning an exotic pet instead of, for instance, a cat or a dog. The analysis has shown that the most common naming motivations amongst the surveyed were: the colour of the body or its part (16,4%) and the generic/specific name of the animal (10%). The majority of the spider and reptile names (ca. 87%) were created through metaphorical transfer; most of the remaining cases (ca. 13%) involve word-forming modification. Naming of spiders and reptiles uses the sources analogous to the processes involved in the naming of other animals, and predominantly those involved in the naming of cats and dogs. Notably, the corpus does also contain a high quantity of personal names, both masculine and feminine.
