Wolbaraneae is research and educational based project of Section for arachnology and Section for microbiology from BIUS. Our primary goal is to identify and to prove existence of endosimbiotic bacteria Wolbachia on widow spiders – genus Theridiidae.
This project will be basis for future research on Wolbachia in spiders of Croatia, and we hope for other invertebrates too.
Activities:
Along with lectures, we will have 6 field trips (one day only) around Croatia, and minimally the same number of laboratory analysis.
*Field trips are dependent on the weather and leaders free time, so basically its adaptable.
All interested in participating are more than wellcome to do so, in any aspect.🙂
