The database now includes 996 species from 32 articles, representing 2234 original and 4314 cited records of spiders in the Caucasus.

Most species have been recorded from Azerbaijan (689), followed by Georgia (500), the North-Caucasus (237), and Armenia (144).

Maps and lists of the records for each species are accessible via the checklists in the ‘Country checklists and Maps‘-section of the main menu. The numbers of records are given in brackets behind each species in the country checklists.

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!
