Nephilid spiders: Database of world collections

The current version of the database created in BIOTA (http://viceroy.eeb.uconn.edu/biota) contains precise specimen, museum and georeferenced locality information for three out of four nephilid spider genera (see www.nephilidae.com): the genus Clitaetra with six species inhabiting Africa and Indian Ocean islands to Sri Lanka, the genus Herennia with eleven species in Australasia from India to Solomon Islands, and the genus Nephilenygs with four species in the tropics worldwide. For methods of study, museum information, taxonomic species diagnostics with illustrated descriptions, and sources of funding for this research, see the three published nephilid spider monographs (Kuntner, 2005, 2006, 2007). The database, currently at over a thousand specimens, will be updated to include specimen information on the largest nephilid genus, Nephila, with another several thousand entries, upon publication of a taxonomic monograph currently in preparation (for preliminary information on Nephila, see Kuntner et al., 2008; Kuntner & Coddington, 2009).

Homeguard memorials in Slovenia

Homeguard memorials are part of contemporary Slovenian political discourse which uses memorial discourse to offer a specific interpretation of loss, death and the event that caused them; thus the past is linked to the present. Crucial role of homeguard memorials is to construct the post-war killing as part of the national trauma, to transpose the roles of victim and perpetratorm symbolicaly reinterpret the meaning oh homeguard movement, collaboration and resistance. In other words, to implement the interpretation of the "civil war." The collection includes photographs and introductory text.
