Spiders of California (Steve Lew)

Graduate Student Steve Lew hosts a website for Spiders of California. From the website, "In 1979 Steve Johnson made a list of all spiders known from California. He had essentially unlimited literature resources as a graduate student of B. J. Kaston, and also benefited from the expert assistance of Wendell Icenogle. I began this website by digitizing his list as reformatted by Donald Boe in 1989, with lab support form Rosemary Gillespie and coding assistance from Chris Seidel. As time permits I update the list using more recent publications and personal communication from skilled collectors known to me."

Spiders of the Pacific Islands (Dr. Rosemary Gillespie)

Dr. Gillespie's research interests involve patterns of diversification, adaptive radiation, and associated community assembly, focusing on spiders and insects on remote oceanic islands, in particular the Hawaiian Islands, but also French Polynesia, Micronesia and Fiji.
