Tarantula literature

[plessey]

A list of all tarantula related articles and papers i have found online which i have been compiling on other forums over the last few years. Any problems with links then let me know and i'll try and fix them or find alternatives. I've also added any English translations I have done.

Used in conjunction with this web site http://www.exoticfauna.com/tarantulabibliography/index.html you should be able to easily find papers relevant to specific species.

[plessey]

Updated this today. Just when I think I can't possibly find anymore theraphosid papers I stumble across a few more. Who knows we might have a complete collection one day.

 

[harleyqueen]

Thanks Plessey you put a lot of work into this. Will probably take forever to read it all.

 

[plessey]

Thanks. It's been about five and a half years since I started putting all these links together and the list is looking pretty respectable now I think.

 

[harleyqueen]

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks again.

Plessy, have I told you lately how awesome you are?

[plessey]

Hmmm I seem to have killed it.

*EDIT
Fixed it sort of.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Thanks again Plessey

 

[plessey]

Updated again and it looks like I didn't break it this time.
