#Faunistics
Today we covered themes related to systematics & phylogenetics, evolutinary biology & genomics, and faunistics & distribution.

From Nemesiidae, Salticidae and Theridiidae to scorpions and pseudoscorpions: our lecturers gave their best and gave us insight into their research.

I have been interested in the faunistics of northern #Canada and #Alaska for some time. This lovely volume on the #arthropods of #Greenland is an excellent contribution; the three bee species are covered on three pages, though what was called #Bombus hyperboreus should now be Bombus natvigi.
