MS/MS analysis of four scorpion venoms from Colombia: a descriptive approach

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2021
Background: Scorpions are widely known for the neurotoxic effects of their venoms, which contain peptides affecting ionic channels. Although Colombia is recognized for its scorpion diversity, only a few studies are available describing the venom content.

Androctonus sumericus sp. nov., a new scorpion from Dhi Qar Province, Iraq (Scorpiones: Buthidae)

Zoology in the Middle East, 2023
A new species Androctonus sumericus sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the Dhi Qar Province of Iraq, based on the material previously misidentified as A. crassicauda (Olivier, 1807). Therefore, the new species were compared particularly with that

Interpopulational genetic diversity in the medically important scorpion Tityus obscurus (Scorpiones: Buthidae) from northeastern Brazilian Amazonia

Acta Amazonica, 2023
Scorpion envenoming is considered a public health problem in Brazil. A recent study described a variation in the clinical outcome of envenoming by Tityus obscurus in two populations separated by 850 km in the northeastern Amazon region.

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

Review of Androctonus baluchicus (Pocock, 1900) with description of new species from Iran (Scorpiones: Buthidae)

Arthropoda Selecta, 2022
. The genus Androctonus Hemprich et Ehrenberg, 1828 (Scorpiones: Buthidae) is composed of 33 species and distributed in the Middle East and North Africa. Among these taxa, only Androctonus baluchicus (Pocock, 1900) and A. crassicauda (Olivi-er, 1807) are

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.

Arboreal gems: resurrection of Isometrus sankeriensis Tikader & Bastwade, 1983 and descriptions of two new species of Isometrus Ehrenberg, 1828 (Scorpiones: Buthidae) from the Western Ghats, India

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2022
The Western Ghats of India is considered one of the richest biodiversity hotspots in the world. Documenting scorpion diversity has always been of paramount importance due to their species richness, ecological role and endemism, which calls for ...

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

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.
