Publisher's Synopsis
Spiders of Australia is a comprehensive information package and identification tool for spiders, one of the most numerous and abundant of all terrestrial organisms in Australia. The CD covers all families and subfamilies in Australia and New Guinea, and all but two families in New Zealand. The interactive keys allow fast, accurate identification of Australian spiders to the level of family, subfamily and, in some cases, genus. Using ""Lucid Player"", an easy-to-use browser interface provides access to the rich store of information including distribution maps, subfamily notes, lists of species, and subfamily and family descriptions. Most subfamilies are illustrated with high quality photographs of live spiders while the rare or tiny are shown from photomicrographs. A brilliantly illustrated complete glossary of terms used in spider identification compliments this package.
