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.

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.

Tongxinluo Exerts Inhibitory Effects on Pyroptosis and Amyloid‐β Peptide Accumulation after Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion in Rats

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Amyloid‐β peptide (Aβ) accumulation is a detrimental factor in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries accounting for dementia induced by ischemic stroke. In addition to blood brain barrier (BBB), the glymphatic system mediated by aquaporin‐4 (AQP‐4) on astrocytic endfeet functions as an important pathway for the clearance of Aβ in the brain ...

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.

The effect of microhabitat use on the foraging and diet of the striped bark scorpion, Centruroides vittatus (Buthidae: Scorpiones) in blackbrush habitat of south Texas

The journal of arachnology, 2022
. Microhabitat use by predators can be influenced by prey availability, predator size and risk of cannibalism. The preferred microhabitat for a predator can be for foraging, feeding or as a refuge. In this study in south Texas, Centruroides vittatus (Say,
