Such surveys are vital for the conservation of these creatures in the light of climate change and building a biodiversity database of spider fauna of Eastern Ghats of Southern Andhra Pradesh in near future. The statistical and diversity indices for each study sites was calculated. During our analysis, a total of 19, 25 and 31, 41 spider families were recorded respectively from these four ecosystems. viz., Sri Lankamala wildlife Sanctuary, (Kadapa district), Rapur Ghat forest, (Nellore district), Pallakondalu, (Kadapa and Chittoor district), Seshachalam Biosphere Reserve forest (Kadapa, Chittoor and Nellore district). The basic goals of this study was to gather baseline distribution data on spiders by undertaking exhaustive surveys at some selected sites of four ecosystems of Andhra Pradesh. This article also presents a study on the distribution and current status of different spider species in four ecosystems of Eastern Ghats of Southern Andhra Pradesh. Abstract | The objectives of the present study was to explore the diversity and abundance of spider fauna at different habitats. ![]()
