The biodiversity and species composition of the spider community of Marion Island, a recent survey (Arachnida: Araneae)
Marion Island, the larger of the Prince Edward Islands, lies in the sub-Antarctic biogeographic region in the southern Indian Ocean. From previous surveys, four spider species are known from Marion. The last survey was undertaken in 1968. During this study a survey was undertaken over a period of fo...
