  1. Arachnology

    zoology File Nephila clavipes 1.jpg Arachnology is the science scientific study of spider s and related animals such as scorpion s, Pseudoscorpionida pseudoscorpions , Opiliones harvestmen , collectively called arachnid s. However, the study of tick s and mite s is sometimes not included in arachnology, but is called Acarology . Those who study spiders and other arachnids are arachnologists . The word wiktionary arachnology arachnology derives from Ancient Greek Greek lang grc , arachn , spider and lang grc , logy logia . Arachnology as a science Arachnologists are primarily responsible for classifying arachnids and studying aspects of their biology. In the popular imagination they are sometimes referred to as spider experts . Disciplines within arachnology include naming species and determining their evolutionary relationships to one another taxonomy and systematics , studying how they interact with other members of their species and or their environment behavioural ecology , or how they are distributed in different regions and habitats faunistics . Other arachnologists carry out research into the anatomy or physiology of arachnids, including the venom of spiders and scorpions. Others study the impact of spiders in agricultural ecosystems and whether they can be used as biological control agents.

  1. International Society of Arachnology

    The International Society of Arachnology ISA promotes the study of arachnids and the exchange of information among researchers in this field. It acts as an umbrella organisation for regional societies and individuals interested in spiders, and related animals, and organises an International Congress every three years. History Conception The idea of arachnologists coming together for scientific meetings stems from the German zoologist Hermann Wiehle in 1959. He encouraged Wolfgang Crome Berlin and Ernst Kullmann Bonn in this matter and a subsequent meeting of the German Zoological Society in Bonn in 1960 was used as a platform for the first arachnological meeting with about 20 mostly German scientists in attendance. A second meeting, again associated with the German Zoological Society, followed in Saarbr cken in 1961 organised by Otto Kraus, and attracted additional international participation. The third meeting, again organised by Otto Kraus, was held in Frankfurt am Main in 1965 under the title III. Kongre europ ischer Arachnologen . C.I.D.A.

  1. Invertebrate zoology

    Unreferenced date September 2008 Invertebrate zoology is the biology biological academic discipline discipline that consists of the study of invertebrate animals, i.e. animals without a vertebral column backbone a structure which is found only in fish , amphibian s, reptile s, bird s and mammal s. Invertebrates are a vast and very diverse group of animals that includes sponges , echinoderm s, tunicate s, numerous different phylum phyla of worms, mollusc s, arthropod s and many additional phyla. Single celled organisms or protist s are usually not included within the same group as invertebrates. Invertebrates are 97 of all named animal species , and because of that fact, this subdivision of zoology has many further subdivisions, including but not limited to Arthropodology the study of arthropods , which includes Arachnology the study of spiders and other arachnid s Entomology the study of insect s Carcinology the study of crustacean s Myriapodology the study of centipede s, millipede s, and other myriapod s Malacology the study of mollusk s Invertebrate paleontology the study of fossil invertebrates These divisions are sometimes further divided into more specific specialties. For example, within arachnology, acarology is the study of mite s and tick s within entomology, lepidoptery is the study of butterflies and moth s, and so on.
