  Introducing the Asociación Ibérica de Aracnología An exciting new chapter begins for Iberian arachnology: araneae.es and aracnidosibericos.com have united to create the Asociación Ibérica de Aracnología , now online at aracnologia.org . This union brings together the work and dedication behind two valuable arachnological resources, opening new opportunities for collaboration and the exchange of knowledge about Iberian arachnids. At Arácnido Taxonomy , we are delighted to share this news and congratulate everyone involved. Bringing people, expertise, and resources together is a meaningful step for a community united by curiosity and appreciation for these remarkable animals. We encourage researchers, naturalists, photographers, and arachnid enthusiasts to explore the association’s website and follow this new chapter.

Introducing the toxin-ID nomenclature to enable storage of venom toxin data in online repositories

Abstract

The naming of venom toxins was largely ad hoc until the introduction of a rational nomenclature with a structured framework for naming venom peptides conveying taxonomic, pharmacological and structural information. Unfortunately, the resulting toxin names are susceptible to frequent name changes, necessitating a more stable nomenclature extending beyond peptides for long-term storage of toxin records in online repositories. The proposed toxin ID nomenclature includes a class-level taxonomic identifier plus a unique number within each class.
