Sampling efforts produced roughly equal species richness in both natural habitats and those that were man made or altered by human activity. Members of the families Araneidae and Tetragnathidae comprised almost half of the species found. Five localities were surveyed from six habitats, including three altered and three natural. Twenty-five species representing ten families were collected.http://journals.sfu.ca/cob/index.php/files/article/view/137/155SpidersInaguaBahamas
