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.

Apart from these reports, 1999). several other sporadic checklists from agricultural felds The Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary (WS) is one such (Kumar & Shivakumar 2006; Trivedi 2009) and habitats unstudied protected area in central Gujarat located in Gujarat contributed to additon of new species and between Panchmahal and Vadodara districts known for new distributon records (Siliwal & Kumar 2001; Kumar its relatvely rich biodiversity including fagship species & Shivakumar 2006; Trivedi 2009; Parasharya et al. 2011; like Sloth Bear and Leopard. 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. A total of 27 regions are deemed as protected diversity from Jambughoda WS. areas in Gujarat from which, only 10 areas areas have a documentaton of spiders, viz., Barda WS (62 species) Materials and Methods (Singh et al. 2000a), Hingolgadh Nature Educaton The study was conducted in the Jambughoda Sanctuary (56 species) (Singh et al. 2000b; Patel & Vyas WS, which is located between 22.333–22.550 0N and 2001), Jessore WS (157 species) (Pandey et al. 2004a), 73.583–75.750 0E in Panchmahal and Vadodara districts Narayan Sarovar WS (24 species) (Singh et al. 2001), of Gujarat State, India (Figure 1).

They are a home to hundreds and thousands of various flora and fauna. A wide variety of species thrive in such Wildlife Sanctuaries. With the ever growing cement – jungle, it is of utmost importance to protect and conserve wildlife and give them their own, natural space to survive Wildlife Sanctuaries are established by IUCN category II protected areas. A wildlife sanctuary is a place of refuge where abused, injured, endangered animals live in peace and dignity. Senchal Game Sanctuary. Established in 1915 is the oldest of such sanctuaries in India. Chal Batohi, in Gujarat is the largest Wildlife Sanctuary in India. The conservative measures taken by the Indian Government for the conservation of Tigers was awarded by a 30% rise in the number of tigers in 2015. According to the Red Data Book of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there are 47 critically endangered species in India. DO YOU KNOW? Wildlife sanctuaries in India are established by IUCN category II protected areas. India has 537 wildlife sanctuaries referred to as wildlife sanctuaries category IV protected areas. Among these, the 50 tiger reserves are governed by Project Tiger, and are of special significance in the conservation of the tiger. Some wildlife sanctuaries in India are specifically named bird sanctuary, e.g., Keoladeo National Park before attaining National Park status.
