Thanks to the continuous efforts of BC spider experts, the new 2017 Checklist of the Spiders of BC is now available, and is posted on E-Fauna BC.
This work, by Robb Bennett, David Blades, Gergin Blagoev, Don Buckle, Claudia Copley, Darren Copley, Charles Dondale and Rick C. West, now documents 859 species of spiders in the province, a significant increase from the last edition of the list. The associated map showing collecting sites shows just how much field work these folk have put into this research.
