Neolanidae
Desidae is a family of spiders, some of which are known as intertidal spiders. The family is named for the genus '' Desis'', members of which inhabit the intertidal zone. The family has been reevaluated in recent years and now includes inland genera and species as well, such as '' Badumna'' and '' Phryganoporus''. In 2017, the family Amphinectidae was merged into Desidae and the family Toxopidae was separated from it. Those intertidal spiders that are truly marine commonly live in barnacle shells, which they seal up with silk; this allows them to maintain an air bubble during high tide. They emerge at night to feed on various small arthropods that live in the intertidal zone. Distribution As now circumscribed, the family Desidae is mainly found in South America and Australasia, with some species reaching north to Malaysia. ''Metaltella simoni'' has been introduced in a large part of the Southern United States (records exist from California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida). I ...

Badumna Insignis
The black house spider or common black spider (''Badumna insignis'') is a common species of cribellate Australian spider, introduced to New Zealand and Japan. A closely related species, ''Badumna longinqua'', the grey house spider, has a similar distribution, but has also been introduced to the Americas. Ludwig Carl Christian Koch described ''Badumna insignis'' in 1872. Description ''B. insignis'' is a dark, robust spider. The female grows up to 18 mm, with a 30 mm leg span. As with most spiders, the males are smaller (10 mm) and have longer legs in relation to their body size. In both sexes, the carapace and legs are dark brown to black, and the abdomen is charcoal grey with a dorsal pattern of light markings (sometimes indistinct) and a dense covering of fine, velvety hair. ''B. longinqua'' is slightly smaller (14 mm) with a greyish carapace and black-brown legs. Habits, mating, and reproduction The web of ''B. insignis'' is a messy-looking construct of irreg ...

World Spider Catalog
The World Spider Catalog (WSC) is an online searchable database concerned with spider taxonomy. It aims to list all accepted families, genera and species, as well as provide access to the related taxonomic literature. The WSC began as a series of web pages in 2000, created by Norman I. Platnick of the American Museum of Natural History. After his retirement in 2014, the Natural History Museum of Bern took over, converting the catalog to a relational database A relational database (RDB) is a database based on the relational model of data, as proposed by E.

Local Extinction
Local extinction, also extirpation, is the termination of a species (or other taxon) in a chosen geographic area of study, though it still exists elsewhere. Local extinctions are contrasted with extinction, global extinctions. Local extinctions mark a change in the ecology of an area. It has sometimes been followed by a replacement of the species taken from other locations, such as with wolf reintroduction. Discussion Glacial period, Glaciation is one factor that leads to local extinction. This was the case during the Quaternary glaciation, Pleistocene glaciation event in North America. During this period, most of the native North American species of earthworm were killed in places covered by glaciation. This left them open for colonization by European earthworms brought over in soil from Europe. Species naturally become extinct from islands over time; this can be either local extinction if the species also occurs elsewhere, or in cases of endemism, island endemism, outright ex ...
