The Canadian Arachnologist is a collaborative effort of biologists and enthusiasts devoted to the study of spiders, mites, pseudoscorpions and other members of the Class Arachnida. Participants create autobiographical sketches, upload collection records and author/review descriptions in
The Nearctic Spider Database. Ideas are debated and news is shared in
The Nearctic Arachnologists' Forum and a freely-distributed annual
newsletter with feature articles is produced.
Checklists for arachnids including jumping spiders, pseudoscorpions, and mites,
as well as keys and glossaries are available.
