Arachnids rarely come to mind when one discusses arthropod
neurobiology. In fact much more is now known and written about the
nervous systems of insects and crustaceans. Several arguments have
led us to conclude, however, that the time has come to document
impor tant aspects of the neurobiology of spiders, scorpions, and
their kin, as well. Studies of arachnid neurobiology have made
considerable progress since the last comprehensive treatment by
Bullock and Horridge in their monumental monograph on invertebrate
nervous systems pub lished in 1965. This is especially true for
research performed in the last decade. Several problems related to
the structure and function of arachnid nervous and sensory systems
have now been studied in con siderable depth but have so far not
been given adequate space under one cover. A particular incentive
to produce this book has been the impor tance attributed to
comparative approaches in neurobiology. Neglect ing a large
taxonomic group such as the arachnids - which comprises some 60,000
species living a wide range of different lives - would mean
ignoring an enormous potential source of knowledge. In writing the
chapters of this book we have striven to present some of the unique
features of the arachnids. But the result of our efforts is not
just meant to contribute to an understanding of the particularities
of the arach nids."
