The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Ecology, Zoology, Spider, Predation and Genus. The presentations discussing Ecology offer insights in topics such as Habitat, Wolf spider, Theridiidae, Species richness and Mating. The work on Zoology addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Scorpion.
The research on Spider featured in it combines topics in other fields like Botany and Anatomy. It features Predation research that overlaps with concepts in Foraging. The journal is focused mainly on Courtship, particularly Courtship display.
Laniatores and Gonyleptidae studies are all carried out as a component of the study in Opiliones presented.
The published papers primarily focus on research topics in Ecology, Zoology, Spider, Predation and Theridiidae. Sister group, Clade and Anatomy are some topics wherein Zoology research discussed in the journal publications has an impact. In addition to Spider research, the most cited articles aim to explore topics under Juvenile and Biological dispersal.
Zoology, Spider, Genus, Courtship and Evolutionary biology are the subjects of interest in the journal. Predation and Cannibalism are some topics wherein Zoology research discussed in Journal of Arachnology have an impact. Spider research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Spatial organization and Arthropod mouthparts.
It explores research in Taxonomy (biology) and overlapping concepts in Seta, Pseudoscorpion, Key (lock) and Ricinulei to expand the discourse in Genus. While work presented in Journal of Arachnology provided substantial information on Courtship, it also covered topics in Paradossenus, Mate choice, Mating and Trechaleidae. The journal deals with Evolutionary biology in conjunction with Phylogenetic tree and similar fields in Karyotype.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Arachnology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Arachnology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 7.32% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 34.21% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.53% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.32% of all publications and 28.95% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For students pursuing Ecology and Evolution, exploring related online degrees can open doors to diverse career opportunities. Those interested in healthcare intersections may consider dnp online programs, which offer flexibility and advanced nursing practice education. Understanding how environmental factors affect health is a growing field, and these programs provide a valuable skillset.
Entry into health-related fields can be made easier through less competitive nursing programs, which allow prospective students to start their journey without overwhelming admission hurdles. For those seeking administrative roles, healthcare administration majors offer accelerated degree options that blend leadership skills with health sciences knowledge.
Additionally, some students prefer programs with fewer initial testing requirements. Nursing schools without entrance exam requirements—like those featured in nursing schools without entrance exam lists—make it easier to enter healthcare professions, complementing ecology-related careers in population and environmental health.
