One such an important ecological role in the terrestrial ecosystem undocumented area was Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary, Panchmahal (Marc et al. 1999; Skerl & Gillespie 1999). Due to their District, Gujarat. Therefore, a study to document the spider diversity ability of aerial ballooning they can readily disperse into was carried out in Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary from July 2012 to October 2015. A combinaton of four sampling methods namely, belt diferent habitats and being generalist predators they transect along with hand-pick method, pitall sampling, vegetaton are abundant in all terrestrial habitats (Coddington & beatng and leaf liter extracton were used for collecton of spiders Levi 1991). They also play a signifcant role in controlling from diferent strata. During the study, a total of 138 species belonging to 90 genera and 29 families were recorded from the study area. Of the insect populatons in the agricultural felds (Riechert which, 21 species and 17 genera were recorded for the frst tme from & Bishop 1990). They also play an important role in the Gujarat State. The theridiid genus Cephalobares O. Pickard-Cambridge, food chain by being abundant food source for birds, 1870 was recorded for the frst tme from India. The families Araneidae, Saltcidae, Theridiidae and Oxyopidae were found to be dominant lizards, wasps, and other animals. Over 48,643 valid in the area. We recognized seven feeding guilds namely ambushers, species of spiders belonging to more than 4,173 genera foliage runners, ground runners, orb weavers, sheet web-builders, and 128 families have been reported throughout the space web-builders and stalkers. Amongst these, orb-weavers, stalkers and ground runners were dominant. This documentaton, however, world (World Spider Catalog 2019). Out of which, over forms the baseline informaton for spiders of Jambughoda WLS, 1,700 species belonging to more than 450 genera and 61 suggestng the great diversity of the spider fauna in this protected diferent families have been reported from India (World area, which can be further explored.

Studies in the past in Vachhani et al. 2012; Parmar & Patel 2015; Vasava et al. Jambughoda WS from this protected area were restricted 2015; Prajapat et al. 2016a,b,c). So far, over 400 species to fora and higher vertebrates like mammals, birds, of spiders have been reported from Gujarat (Kumar reptles and fshes (Padate et al. 2003; Vyas 2006; Devkar 2015; Yadav et al. 2017). et al. 2013). Moreover, invertebrate documentaton In Gujarat State, most of the spider documentaton from this area was restricted only to lepidopteran and has been done from nonprotected areas like agriculture few insect species (Padate et al. 2003). Therefore, in felds, wetlands etc. and very few from protected the present study, we initated documentaton of spider areas.
