PRAGMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF THE WORLD'S SALTICIDAE (ARANEAE)
This paper, dedicated to search for identification methods of genera of Salticidae (Araneae), presents prototype of a “Handbook of Jumping Spiders Identification”, based on morphology of palps, spermathecae and ducts, as well as some other easily noticeable characters.

Records in citizen science platforms in Sweden are biased towards visible, diurnal, urban species but provide a cost‐effective way to gather large datasets and engage the public. National scientific surveys like the Swedish Malaise Trap Project remain essential to detect rare and cryptic species without activity bias, though some spider families are ...

REVIEW OF THE GENUS SOBASINA (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE)
The genus Sobasina Simon, 1898 (Araneae: Salticidae) from Pacific Islands is reviewed and its main diagnostic characters (internal structures of epigyne, body shape, palps) documented for all species in a comparative way. The systematic position of the genus is shown to be non-aligned to any major groups of Salticidae.

ABSTRACT The spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders) is among the most heavily researched groups of invertebrates globally. Nevertheless, in Aotearoa New Zealand most species have never been studied. While it is estimated that approximately 200 endemic salticid species are found across the country, only around 50 have been described and fewer than ...

SpiderATLAS: A Database of Spider Traits and Distributions in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
ABSTRACT Aim Biodiversity shortfalls related to limited knowledge about geographic distribution (Wallacean) and species traits (Raunkiæran) are extremely common in many animal groups and perhaps more evident in invertebrate groups such as spiders. This lack of knowledge could present challenges for researchers investigating the response and effects of ...

Abundant and rare spiders on tree trunks in German forests (Arachnida, Araneae) [PDF]
The spider fauna active on the bark of trees in forests on eight sites in different regions in Germany was investigated. Trunk eclectors at about 2-4 meters height on living trees were used in different regions of Germany (SW Bavaria, Hesse, Brandenburg)

Love is in the air: olfaction-based mate-odour identification by jumping spiders from the genus Cyrba [PDF]
Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are known for having good eyesight, but the extent to which they rely on olfaction is poorly understood. Here we demonstrate for the first time that olfactory pheromones are used by two species from the salticid genus Cyrba ...
