“EXPLORING ARACHNIDS THROUGH EXPERIMENTS & FACTS” Database: To organize this information in a database and to make the data available to science and society.

Objectives of the organization:

Survey: To collect, preserve & exhibit the inventory of the arachnid fauna of India for scientific identification, documentation, exchanges of specimen for research & revisions in the taxonomy. Education: To foster participation of research groups & graduate students in research based training programmes & camps concerning arachnology. Imparting skills involving

scientific collection, documentation, identification, scientific writing & presentation, designing of experiments, and computational applications. To organize exhibitions, lectures and film screenings pertaining to arachnology to attract & create awareness amongst students of all levels from school to university from India & abroad. Research: To impart training through research in arachnology in a wide range of the appropriate scientific methods and techniques. More emphasis will be put on theory and philosophy of phylogenetic reconstruction. A more holistic approach involving morphological character analysis using microscopic image analysis, standard statistical approaches to biodiversity, GIS & GPS based applications, phylogenetic computing, genomics, bioinformatics, and population and conservation genetics. Awareness: To set up a dedicated “Museum of Arachnology” at Amravati for professionals & amateurs. The faunal diversity of the region will be exhibited with detailed information about specimens’ habitat & conservation issues. To organize field survey and workshops to aware the common people about the key role-played by spiders. Facilities: To develop minimum necessary facility for the study & research of the arachnological specimens from around the world & India. Collaborations: To host and organize international conferences and symposia within the framework of research programs. To forge collaborative efforts with agencies and organizations like Museums, Universities and research institutes in India & abroad. To generate funds for research through various funding agencies. Publications: To develop products that meet the need of the community: handbooks, CD-ROMs, checklists, atlases, catalogues, taxonomic publications and identification manuals. To formulate and prepare reports, publications, newsletters on the findings of the organization at local, national & international level. IPM: To popularize arachnids for Integrated Pest Management.

Very sad news of recent death of the British arachnologist John Murphy

John will be remembered for his extensive contributions to Asian spiders, particularly the books "An Introduction to the spiders of South East Asia", coauthored with his wife Frances, as well as more recently "Spider families of the world and their spinnerets" coauthored with Michael J Roberts. He was also involved in the compilation of the checklist of British spiders with Peter Merrett.

John and Frances Murphy's spider collection is now held in the Manchester Museum:

Congratulations to research team!!

New South Wales, in the southeast of Australia, is home to some very unusual spiders. For more than 150 million years, they have been weaving sack-shaped webs and using them as their home, as protection for their eggs, and as a trap for their prey. A research team from the University of Bayreuth, th...
