A list of all tarantula related articles and papers i have found online which i have been compiling on other forums over the last few years. Any problems with links then let me know and i'll try and fix them or find alternatives. I've also added any English translations I have done.

Used in conjunction with this web site http://www.exoticfauna.com/tarantulabibliography/index.html you should be able to easily find papers relevant to specific species.

Thanks. It's been about five and a half years since I started putting all these links together and the list is looking pretty respectable now I think. :)
