The genera of the family Salticidae listed below are those that are extant and accepted by the World Spider Catalog as of August 2020.

Key takeaways

List of Salticidae genera belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect List of Salticidae genera to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of List of Salticidae genera from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

As of January 2026, this family includes 695 genera and 6,950 species.

The genera of the family Salticidae listed below are those that are extant and accepted by the World Spider Catalog as of August 2020. Assignment to subfamilies and clades is based on Maddison (2015), except where otherwise shown. Unless sources indicate otherwise, genera that were split after 2015 are given the same placements as the original genera listed in Maddison (2015).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of Salticidae genera

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of Salticidae genera claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of Salticidae genera before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of Salticidae genera ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of Salticidae genera

In research: List of Salticidae genera appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of Salticidae genera in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of Salticidae genera is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Lists of arachnids, Salticidae, Salticidae genera, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of Salticidae genera outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
