Sažetak
Even though the oldest written record about one arachnid species in Croatia dates to 1774, a small number of literature references on the subject have been published so far. Foreign researchers have done a majority of the work and the Croatian authors are considerably less represented. The number of Croatian authors first raised in the late 19th century, a time when Narcis Damin, the first dedicated Croatian arachnologist was active. Among numerous experts who conducted research on spiders of Croatia, only a few of them were Croatian until the end of the 20th century. With the rapid increase in the number of interested Croatian arachnologists, an idea of organizing into a arachnological society was born. Croatian arachnological society ‘Narcis Damin’ – CARS, named after the most famous Croatian arachnologist, was founded in May 2012. CARS is a non-profit, voluntary and independent civil society organization involved in promotion and development of arachnology in Croatia. The goals of the society are to further scientific research of all the arachnid orders and promote arachnology in Croatia, inventarization of Croatian arachnofauna, raising awareness of the importance of arachnids in ecosystems and to facilitate the collaboration between researchers and institutes on the international level.
