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 EvolFree 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.

Primary structure and electrophysiological characterization of two almost identical isoforms of toxin from Isometrus vittatus (family: Buthidae) scorpion venom. [PDF]
, 2003 Two almost identical proteins with 70 amino acid residues each, closely packed by four disufide bridges, and molecular masses of 7899.5 and 7884.7 were isolated and sequenced from the venom of the scorpion Isometrus vittatus from Pakistan. They differ by

The first molecular phylogeny of Buthidae (Scorpiones)
Euscorpius, 2003 Summary The first partial phylogeny of family Buthidae (17 genera) is presented, based on molecular data (16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA). The strong support for a monophyletic Old World group of 13 genera (mainly Palearctic desert forms) is demonstrated, while representative genera from Madagascar (Grosphus) and Southeast Asia (Lychas) group outside, as ...
