In addition to numerous articles, she has written the book Forest Spiders of South East Asia (2001).
Apokayana is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders named after the Apo Kayan people of Indonesia and Malaysia. It was erected in 2018 for ten species transferred from Panjange after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae.
