Nuevos casos de depredación entre gecos (Squamata: Gekkonidae, Phyllodactylidae) y escorpiones (Scorpiones: Buthidae) en Costa Rica y Nicaragua, con el primer registro de necrofagia en escorpiones

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología
Resumen. Se registra por primera vez la depredación del escorpión Centruroides bicolor (Pocock, 1898) (Buthidae) por el geco de cola de nabo Thecadactylus rapicauda (Houttuyn, 1782) (Phyllodactylidae), y del geco Hemidactylus frenatus Dumeril y Bibron ...

Comparative venom gland transcriptome analysis of the scorpion Lychas mucronatus reveals intraspecific toxic gene diversity and new venomous components [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Lychas mucronatus is one scorpion species widely distributed in Southeast Asia and southern China. Anything is hardly known about its venom components, despite the fact that it can often cause human accidents.

Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom Induces Apoptosis in Cervical Cancer Cell Lines

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Cervical cancer (CC) is classified as the fourth most common type of cancer in women worldwide and remains a serious public health problem in many underdeveloped countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV), mainly types 16 and 18, has been established as a precursory etiologic agent for this type of cancer.

Comparative Genomics of Sex‐Determination‐Related Genes Reveals Shared Evolutionary Patterns Between Bivalves and Mammals, but Not Fruit Flies

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.

A multigene approach to identify the scorpion species (Arachnida: Scorpiones) of Colima, Mexico, with comments on their venom diversity

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad
Scorpion species diversity in Colima was investigated with a multigene approach. Fieldwork produced 34 lots of scorpions that were analyzed with 12S rDNA, 16S rDNA, COI, and 28S rDNA genetic markers.

Phosphorescent Animal Forms of Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
Two phosphorescent animal forms, Euryurus sp. and Centruroides vittatus, were collected with a black light in an attempt to collect phosphorescent spiders. Both the millipede and the scorpion were easily observed by the bright phosphorescent yellow color

Insect-selective spider toxins targeting voltage-gated sodium channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel is a target for a number of drugs, insecticides and neurotoxins. These bind to at least seven identified neurotoxin binding sites and either block conductance or modulate Nav channel gating.

Invertebrate Bile Acid‐Sensitive Ion Channels and Their Emergence in Bilateria

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
This graphical abstract presents the evolutionary distribution and functional characteristics of bile acid‐sensing ion channels (BASICs) across bilaterians. A phylogenetic tree illustrates the presence of BASICs in diverse groups, extending beyond previously established mammalian findings.

Neutralizing Effects of Mimosa tenuiflora Extracts against Inflammation Caused by Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Scorpion bite represents a significant and serious public health problem in certain regions of Brazil, as well as in other parts of the world. Inflammatory mediators are thought to be involved in the systemic and local immune response induced by Tityus serrulatus scorpion envenomation.
