Abstract
The method’s underlying assumption is that the number and different types of spider webs are closely linked to the number and diversity of web-building spiders. Web2Spider method has been designed so that:
(1) users do not need an expert knowledge of spider taxonomy;
(2) specialised equipment is not required; and
(3) it is more cost effective than traditional collecting techniques.

Thanks Jenny.
We are working through the best way to present this sort of information and accommodate issues such as accessibility and sustainability. We will be certain to keep you in the loop about what decisions we make and why.
Cheers

Can this be web based instead of pdfed? If the d-key can be hyperlinked it will be more user friendly. This method encourages a hard copy of the document.
