      In the last decade or so, a large number of new spider species have been discovered and described, and many genera and families have been revised. Yet, a single comprehensive resource has been lacking to update spider taxonomy. Spider Systematics and Taxonomy aims to present these major developments in the field, as well as to show how technological advancements have driven these changes. Spider groups covered in most detail are those which have recently seen the most significant discoveries and changes. Later chapters highlight the impact of recent technological developments on our knowledge of spider taxonomy, with topics including phylogenomics, artificial intelligence, and novel imaging technologies. Finally, an outlook on future priorities for spider taxonomy research as well as expected developments will be explored.Spider Systematics and Taxonomy is a valuable reference with illustrations and vivid photographs included throughout to showcase spider diversity and relationships. This will serve as a key resource for arachnology researchers, graduate and postgraduate students wishing to come up to date on the latest advances in the field. Researchers in adjacent fields and those working in taxonomy generally will also benefit from this work.

      Measure and Integration: Examples, Concepts, and Applications instructs in core proofs, theorems, and approaches of real analysis, as illustrated via compelling exercises and carefully crafted, practical examples. From chapter one onward, students are asked to apply concepts to reinforce understanding and gain applied experience in real analysis. In particular, exercises challenge students to use key proofs of major real analysis theorems to encourage independent thinking and problem solving, and new areas of research powered by real analysis are introduced. Following early chapters on core concepts and approaches of real analysis, the authors apply real analysis across integration on product spaces, radon functionals, bounded variation and lebesgue-stieltjes measures, convolutions, probability, and differential equations, among other topics. Advanced exercises are also included at the end of each chapter, with exercise difficulty level noted for instructors, and solutions included in an appendix.
