Study of the Acute Toxicity of Scorpion Leiurus macroctenus Venom in Rats. [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal
Background. The expansion of the territory of human habitation leads to inevitable interference in the natural range of distribution of one or another species of animals, some of which may be dangerous for human life. Scorpions—the Arachnida class and order Scorpiones—can be considered as such typical representatives.

The role of bromeliad structural complexity on the presence, spatial distribution and predator avoidance in Tityus neglectus (Scorpiones: Buthidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Due to remarkable architectural design featuring rosette‐like leaf arrangements, bromeliads serve as habitats for various species. Bromeliad architecture is a key factor in the spatial distribution and occurrence of the Tityus neglectus scorpion. Furthermore, T.

Untangling the web: dynamics of Australia's online terrestrial invertebrate trade

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 372-387, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The trade and keeping of exotic pets has serious implications for both biosecurity and biodiversity conservation. In Australia, the online trade of live invertebrates is an understudied and unregulated issue, with almost non‐existent monitoring. It is uncertain what species are being traded, whether they are being identified correctly, and how

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Food web structure and microenvironment affect Chagas disease vector infection and abundance in a rural landscape

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Vector‐borne pathogen transmission is shaped by multiple abiotic and biotic factors. Understanding the relative importance of these factors on vector abundance and infection is important for developing vector‐borne disease control strategies. The crown of the Attalea butyracea palm provides a natural arboreal mesocosm suitable for studying how

Free Pasture of Exotic Goats Reduces Diversity and Negatively Affects Body Condition in Scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones) Assemblage From Brazilian Seasonal Dry Tropical Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Free goat grazing impacts the Caatinga vegetation. Negatively affecting the scorpion assemblage. Furthermore, it presents context‐dependent effects on the body traits of these arachnids. ABSTRACT Extensive grazing carried out freely by exotic goats represents an important source of anthropogenic degradation in seasonally dry tropical forests of Brazil.

Morphometric study and sexual dimorphism analyses in an Iranian population of Scorpio maurus (Arachnida: Scorpionidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 22, Page 15630-15638, November 2021., 2021
Scorpio maurus was collected and evaluated for morphometric study and sexual dimorphism analyses for the first time in Iran. 53 morphological characters of 15 specimens of each sex of S. maurus were studied. Sexual dimorphism was observed in 21 morphological characters of S. maurus based on statistical analyses.
