Première contribution à la connaissance des Araignées du Mont Ventoux

The spider communities were studied using hand collecting, pitfall traps and beating. 133 species were identified (disregarding certain taxonomically difficult groups), belonging to 24 families, including most of those known from France. The majority of the species are widespread in France and Europe, although thirty are particular to the warmer regions. Some alpine species were found (often at lower altitudes than is normal elsewhere), and also some northern species at the southern limit of their range.Cornic Jean-François.
