Survey of Synanthropic Spiders in Ireland Reveals Expansion and Dominance of the Invasive Noble False Widow <i>Steatoda nobilis</i> in Urban Habitats (Araneae: Theridiidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolRapid urbanisation has facilitated the establishment of large populations of the Noble false widow spider outside of its native range through the use of synanthropic microhabitats. In Ireland, we survey these favourable microhabitats for spider diversity for the first time and find that the Noble false widow now typically makes up more than 40% of the ...

ZooKeys, 2019 In 1979 nearly 1400 spider species in 32 families either had been recorded (1249) or were believed to occur (~140) in Canada.
