Some rare and numerically small arachnids (Scorpiones, Solifugae, Araneae) of Azerbaijan
Abstract : The species diversity of arachnids in Azerbaijan (more than 2157 species) is due to the peculiarities of the location of its territory in several natural and climatic zones. Some of these species are less tolerant to ongoing changes in nature and, due to their particular biotope confinement, are ecologically vulnerable. Determining the abundance of some of the species is possible due to the local or, on the contrary, diffused character of their distribution. However, the distribution of many other species is mosaic, which makes it difficult to establish their numerical status. The article provides a preliminary list of rare and numerically small species of arachnids, compiled on the basis of modern literature data and materials of own faunal research.
