Spiders inspire fear, especially dangerous species such as the Redback and Sydney Funnelweb. Yet, Peacock Spiders, whose males spread a colourful fan and wave their legs in a courtship dance to impress females, have won rapturous appreciation worldwide. A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia uses photographs of live animals to enable identification of commonly encountered spiders to the family level and, in some cases, to genus and species. Featuring over 1300 colour photographs, it is the most comprehensive account of Australian spiders ever published. With more than two-thirds of Australian spiders yet to be scientifically described, this book sets the scene for future explorations of our extraordinary Australian fauna. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 27 United Nations Human Settlements Programme.|2fast|0https:/ /id.worldcat.org/fast/776467 650 0 Arachnida|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85006366|zAustralia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79021326-781|vIdentification.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001565 650 0 Spiders|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85126625|zAustralia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79021326-781|vIdentification.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001565 650 0 Spiders|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85126625|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79021326-781 650 0 Spiders|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85126625|xHabitat|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005995|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79021326-781 650 7 Arachnida.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/812623 650 7 Spiders.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1129749 651 7 Australia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204543 653 Australian 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Field guides.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1940354 700 1 Anderson, Greg,|d1958-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n98067635|eauthor. 710 2 CSIRO (Australia)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n90704975 776 08 |iPrint version:|z064310707X|z9780643107076 |w(OCoLC)971943480 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1521978|zOnline eBook.
