Caucasian Spiders Database

The Caucasian Spiders Database (Version 1.3) is online again: http://caucasus-spiders.info/.

It now includes the basic functions like checklists for the Caucasus Ecoregion and the countries Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan as well as information and records for all locations in the database and a list of publications relating to spider records in the Caucasus.

Development will continue, including both the frontend displaying and summarizing database content as well as updates of the database as new and older publications become available.

Come back these days to explore more contents as the site is growing.
