New Insights on Genetic and Morphological Divergence Among a <i>Buthus</i> Species Complex From Tunisia With the Identification of a New Species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This work presents a revision of Tunisian species within the genus Buthus. By combining molecular and morphological analyses, we describe a new species and we better define the distribution area of all the recorded species and provide new morphological criteria that facilitate their identification and differentiation.

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

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.

Toxicity and protein composition of venoms of Hottentotta saulcyi, Hottentotta schach and Androctonus crassicauda, three scorpion species collected in Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 2418-2426, November 2021., 2021
This study could be useful for understanding the venom extraction and toxicity, the protein and amino acid diversities of three species of scorpions (Hottentotta saulcyi, Hottentotta schach and Androctonus crassicauda). The results from this study show that H. saulcyi and H.

Mass spectrometry‐based top‐down and bottom‐up approaches for proteomic analysis of the Moroccan Buthus occitanus scorpion venom

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 1867-1892, July 2021., 2021
Buthus occitanus scorpion possesses highly toxic venom. This article describes the first proteomic screening of the Moroccan B. occitanus venom. Our findings highlight the complexity and the toxin diversity of this venom. The most representative compounds are neurotoxins.

Transcriptome analysis of scorpion species belonging to the Vaejovis genus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Scorpions belonging to the Buthidae family have traditionally drawn much of the biochemist's attention due to the strong toxicity of their venoms. Scorpions not toxic to mammals, however, also have complex venoms.
