Taiwan, the island called Formosa, or the beautiful island, lies on the Tropic of Cancer (N 23 degree) in SE Asia, which divides the island into tropical and subtropical climate. The island also lies on a complex tectonic area. The collision of Eurasian plate and Philippines plate raised five ranges with more than a hundred peaks higher than 3000 meters on this island. In 3 hours, you can drive from the sea level to higher than 3000 meters. In 2 hours, you can drive from subtropics to the northern boundary of the SE Asian tropics. The complexity of the landscape houses high biodiversity, including diverse arachnids. The appreciation of the biodiversity on this island could not be exaggerated. Similarly, there is also much cultural diversity on the island. Because of the immigration history of the past several hundred years, people from different places of the world have visited and lived on the island. The mixture of different cultures, including Oceanic, Chinese, European, Japanese, American, and SE Asian cultures, make Taiwan a foreigner friendly place. We hope you enjoy your stay in Taiwan and enjoy your fieldtrips in Kenting National Park. ... [Information of the supplier]

Das Spinnen-Forum-Wiki entstand im Juni 2008 auf Initiative arachnologisch interessierter Mitglieder des Forums mitteleuropäischer Spinnen. Hier werden Informationen gesammelt, Wissen aus der Literatur zusammengetragen und mit eigenen Fotos, Grafiken und Erfahrungen belegt. Ziel ist es, so viele Informationen wie möglich über Spinnen, Weberknechte und andere Spinnentiere (schwerpunktmäßig Mitteleuropas) in strukturierter Form der interessierten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Im Vordergrund soll dabei die Bestimmung einheimischer Spinnentiere stehen. Dieses Wiki wird von einem geschlossenen Bearbeiterteam gepflegt. Die derzeit aktiven 9 Autoren und Editoren legen bei der Erarbeitung der Artikel großen Wert auf wissenschaftliche Korrektheit. Ein kritischer Umgang mit Quellen und ständige gegenseitige Kontrolle sollen die hohe Qualität der dargebotenen Informationen gewährleisten. Die Arbeit an einem kollaborativen Wissenspool ist jedoch nie beendet. Darum sind nicht alle Arten beschrieben und nicht jedes Thema in gleicher Tiefe beleuchtet. ... [Information des Anbieters]

During the last years Sebastian Tramp and Stefan Otto explored the possibilities of representing the Caucasian Spiders Database by RDF schemes. Because of this work caucasian-spiders.info has not been updated and after a crashed server was not available on the web anymore.
