Over half of the world's spider families live within the three contiguous Pacific Coast states-not surprising considering the wide variety of habitats, from mountain meadows and desert dunes to redwood forests and massive urban centers. This beautifully illustrated, accessible guide covers all of the families and many of the genera found along the Pacific Coast, including introduced species and common garden spiders. The author provides readers with tools for identifying many of the region's spiders to family, and when possible, genus and species. He discusses taxonomy, distribution, and natural history as well as what is known of the habits of the spiders, the characters of families, and references to taxonomic revisions of the pertinent genera. Full-color plates for each family bring to life the incredible diversity of this ancient arachnid order.SpidersCaliforniaIdentificationSpidersPacific StatesIdentificationSpidersElectronic books.SpidersIdentification.SpidersIdentification.Spiders.595.440979Adams Richard J248037Manolls Tim D1055669MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453655903321Field guide to the spiders of California and the Pacific Coast states2489241UNINA
