A faunistic database on the spiders of the Caucasus
Finally, after almost half a year of data input and database-programming we are happy to present version 1.0 of the Caucasian Spider Database! We hope that this portal will be a useful assistance for anybody searching for records or literature on caucasian spiders.
Please use the opportunities on the pages to send us comments on the page contents or other, not yet included, literature!
Please note that we have included but 22 of the well over a hundred articles existing on caucasian spiders. The checklists should nevertheless represent the current state of knowledge because we started our work with the most recent and extensive articles including more than 5,000 original or cited records of spiders in the Caucasus. …we are working on it!
"... a thorough collecting of Arachnids in Transcaucasia would yield a magnificent prey because, namely in spiders, an astonishing richness in both individuals and species made itself noticeable." L. Koch (1878)
