INTRODUCTION
Dr. Norman Ira Platnick, Curator Emeritus at
the American Museum of Natural History, New
York, passed away on 8 April 2020 in Philadelphia,
PA, after a tragic accident. Norm, as he was known
to friends and colleagues, was a prolific scientist,
publishing almost 12,000 pages in 340 printed
publications, including 42 monographs, six books
and two edited volumes over the course of his four-
and-a-half-decade career (Table 1, Figs 1–4). He
also delivered almost 100 scientific lectures in the
U.S. and abroad. This exceptional body of work
fundamentally affected several fields (Table 2).
Norm’s early work, including the influential
‘Blue Book,’ Systematics and biogeography:Cladis-
tics and vicariance (Nelson and Platnick, 1981; Fig.
2A), and seminal papers on cladistic methods in
systematics, biogeography and linguistics, and on
the history and philosophy of systematics (e.g.,
Platnick, 1976a, b, 1977a, b, 1978a, b, c, 1979,
1981a, b, 1982, 1985; Platnick and Cameron, 1977;
Nelson and Platnick, 1978, 1980a, b; Platnick and
Gaffney, 1978a, b; Platnick and Nelson, 1978,
1984; Platnick and Rosen, 1987), were instrumental
in disseminating Hennigian tree-thinking and
phylogenetic classification, profoundly influencing
systematic biology, historical biogeography, and
evolutionary biology more generally. The concept
of using monophyletic groups, or clades, sharing
evolutionary novelties, or synapomorphies, for
classification was the most important event in the
discipline since Darwin’s theory of evolution, and
Norm was among the three or four most important
scientists who expanded, refined and explained
these ideas to the world. Later works in systematics
addressed controversies such as species concepts,
three-taxon statements, DNA Barcoding and the
PhyloCode (Nelson and Platnick, 1991; Platnick et
al., 1996; Platnick and Wheeler, 2000; Wheeler and
Platnick, 2000a, b; Lipscomb et al., 2003; Platnick,
2012, 2013a), among others.
In arachnology, the study of spiders and their
kin, Norm laid the early framework of spider
classification and the Tree of Life (Platnick and
Gertsch, 1976; Platnick, 1975, 1977c) and contin-
ued to play an active role in resolving spider
phylogeny throughout his career (Forster and
Platnick, 1984; Platnick and Goloboff, 1985;
Forster et al., 1990; Platnick et al., 1991, 2012;
Griswold et al., 1999, 2005; Wheeler et al., 2017).
Along the way, Norm introduced new techniques,
such as scanning electron microscopy, and charac-
ter systems, such as spinneret morphology (Plat-
nick, 1974, 1990; Platnick et al., 1991, 2012), which
forever changed the course of spider systematics.
His prodigious monographic revisions and many
smaller papers, often coauthored with former
AMNH Scientific Assistants, Mohammad U.
Shadab, Louis Sorkin, Nadine Dup ´
err ´
e and Lily
Berniker (Table 3; Fig. 4A, B, D), who meticu-
lously prepared dissections, illustrations, scanning
electron micrographs, and so on, vastly increased

knowledge of spider diversity on a global scale, and
especially the poorly known fauna of the Southern
Hemisphere. An authority on at least ten spider
families, Norm described taxa in some 50 of the
120 families currently recognized, spanning the
suborders and infraorders, as well as the arachnid
order Ricinulei (hooded tick-spiders).
Norm’s singular contribution to arachnology, his
copious descriptions of arachnids notwithstanding,
is undoubtedly the World Spider Catalog, which he
created as a unified nomenclatural and taxonomic
resource, and updated biannually over the course of
two decades (Platnick, 2000–2020). Work on this
project began in 1986, with the untimely death of
Paolo M. Brignoli, formerly at the University of
Aquila, Italy. Spider students had come to depend
on Brignoli’s (1983) Catalogue of the Araneae
described between 1940 and 1981, itself continuing
the monumental cataloguing efforts of Roewer’s
(1942, 1955) Katalog der Araneae von 1758 bis 1940
and Bonnet’s (1945, 1955–1959, 1961) Bibliographia
Araneorum, for essential guidance to the enormous
taxonomic literature on spiders. Brignoli (1983)
filled many of the post-Roewer gaps through 1980,
with scattered coverage of later papers as well, and
intended to issue supplements at periodic intervals
until that was prevented by his death. Fortunately,
Norm accepted an invitation from the British
Arachnological Society and Manchester University
Press to prepare the first supplement to Brignoli
(1983). Over the next decade, three volumes of
Advances in Spider Taxonomy (Platnick, 1989, 1993,
1998; Fig. 1C, E), collectively 2,500 pages, were
published, covering the literature from 1981
through 1995 and including all synonyms, transfers,
and re-descriptions from 1940 to 1980. These
indispensable volumes became known as the
‘Platnick Catalogs.’ By the end of the 20
th
century
it became obvious that the increasing quantity of
taxonomic information could no longer be man-
aged in printed volumes, however. An internet-
based solution was required to handle the annual
influx of over 300 taxonomic publications with
descriptions of ca. 900 new species. Norm began
this task with the first online version of his World
Spider Catalog in 2000 and continued through
2014, with two updated versions per year from
2002, a total of 28 updates (Platnick, 2000–2020).
The catalog was hosted at the AMNH and served as
HTML files per family. Upon Norm’s retirement in
2014, the Naturhistorisches Museum Bern, Swit-
zerland, took over the World Spider Catalog and
converted it to a relational database (World Spider
Catalog, 2020). Unlike most other non-vertebrate
taxa of comparable diversity, spiders now enjoy a
completely up-to-date, online, species-level taxo-
nomic database since 1757 when the first 68 spider
species were described by Carl Clerck.
One measure of the impact of Norm’s scientific
contributions is his 17,790 citations (Table 4), h-
index of 55, and i10-index of 207.
The recent publication of a full color volume,
Spiders of the World:A Natural History (Platnick,
2020), coauthored with long-term arachnologist
collaborators, Rudy Jocqu ´
e, Gustavo Hormiga,

ın J. Ram ´

ager, several former trainees among them, is a
fitting conclusion to a life’s work researching and
disseminating knowledge of the incredible diver-
sity of spiders.
In his spare time, Norm was interested in the
illustration art of magazine covers, advertisements,
and articles from America’s ‘Golden Age of
Illustration’ (1905–1920). During the past 22 years,
he prepared and published 27 full-color books
under the imprint, ‘Enchantment Ink’ (Fig. 1H–J),
and three articles on the work of various artists
