Scytodes fusca Walckenaer 1837

Researchers documented the presence of Scytodes fusca, a spider species, across multiple Caribbean islands and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Alejandro de Humboldt National Park. The study recorded specimens from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Saint Martin, Saba, Saint Eustatius, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Barbados, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, expanding its known distribution. Collections were made in diverse habitats, such as national parks, forests, and caves, using field surveys conducted by the CarBio team between 2011 and 2013. The findings contribute to the understanding of this species' ecological range and potential role in Caribbean biodiversity.
