The Spiders of East Bay, Southampton Island, Nunavut, Canada
In 2000 and 2001, 22 816 spiders were caught in pitfall traps in East Bay Migratory Bird Sanctuary, Southampton Island, Nunavut, Canada. Of these, 18 711 were adults of 18 species, 4 lycosids and 14 linyphiids, with 2 of the linyphiids unknown. Six habitats in the study area (gravel ridge, dry heath...
