Applying Ensemble Ecological Niche Modeling to Identify High Risk Areas for Scorpions' Sting

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
In this study, we used ecological niche models to map the distribution of eight of the most dangerous scorpion species to quantify sting risk across Iran. We identified the areas where people are most vulnerable to scorpion stings based on exposure to scorpions and limited accessibility to healthcare centers.
