UNIVERSITI Brunei Darussalam (UBD) will conduct a talk on the biodiversity of spider fauna found at the Asean Heritage Park of Tasek Merimbun and the Ulu Temburong National Park which supports the importance of conservation in the Heart of Borneo (HoB) project.

The lecture titled "Diversity of Southeast Asian Spiders: A Snapshot From Their Feeding Strategies" will be presented by Singapore High Commissioner to Brunei Joseph Koh on Wednesday, November 19, at UBD's Faculty of Science FMS 2.18.

The public will have the chance to view the various strategies adopted by spiders in catching their prey through a series of macro-photography images of spiders in Brunei and other Southeast Asian countries, a press statement from UBD said.

The speaker was also expected to talk on spiders' unique web architecture technique.

Koh had a First Class Honours in Zoology from the University of Singapore in 1972 and published a book and several scientific papers. (DKR1)
