Helping Endangered Spiders

Question

Hello,

For my ecology project, we need to contact an expert on what we should do on how to help endangered spiders. For my assignment on Peacock Spiders, What do you think we should do to help Peacock Spiders and other Endangered species? Thank you.

Answer 1

research the roles that peacock spiders play in the ecosystem and why they are declining. I founf a page on a peacock sopider that was endangered but then I left the site and couldn't find it again. So many pages are devoted to their way cool mating behavior

This video discusses why we should protect peacock spiders. and most importantly why they are some species in this group endangered, for general information

https://www.xerces.org/staff This is an organization dedicated to preserving invertebrates

You can contact them by e-mail and hopefully an expert can tell you more about peacock

the IUCN has lists of species and what is threatening them. It should have lots of information but I had problems navigating it.

Is their a spider or insect at a nearby university? If not, a zoologist may be able to find one.

Good luck! and please keep me in mind if you need ecology or general biology tutoring!
