Mostly ignored and sometimes (wrongly) feared, there is hardly a building in the world that does not harbour some species of spider. What is fascinating is that we always find the same species. These spiders must have special adaptations, because the humidity in our homes is far too low, they are too clean, and the food supply is usually scarce. However, those spiders that have made the leap into our four walls are rewarded with a worldwide right to stay. This, in turn, is due to people's eagerness to trade and migrate worldwide: Humans tirelessly transport their belongings and an endless stream of goods around the world in sacks, parcels and containers. And our domestic spiders, as stowaways, travel just as tirelessly and unrecognized. It is therefore possible to present domestic spiders found throughout the world in a single book, as they are essentially the same everywhere. The 50 or so most important species and species groups are presented here in a generally understandable way, with a detailed profile, photos and distribution maps. The authors of this book are experts who work at museums, universities and in administration in Europe and North America. They are not only recognized scientists, but have also been avowed spider fans for decades. 0aInvertebrates.972152 0aEcology .968629 0aPhysiology.972764 0aZoology.969024 0aAnimal welfarexMoral and ethical aspects.967043 0aBiodiversity.97077814aInvertebrate Zoology.97215324aEcology.96862924aAnimal Physiology.97276524aZoology.96902424aAnimal Ethics.96704424aBiodiversity.9707781 aAnsorg, Jutta.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9901481 aCushing, Paula E.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9901491 aKranz-Baltensperger, Yvonne.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9901501 aKropf, Christian.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9901512 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303170447508iPrinted edition:z978303170449940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-70448-2  aZDB-2-SBL  aZDB-2-SXB  c66336d66336
