Scorpions and their Venom [PDF]

Nature, 1922
PHYSALIA in “Animaux Venimeux,” p. 252, says that in all venomous animals their immunity to their own venom is limited, and announces that in an experiment a scorpion, Bulteus australis, was killed by an injection of the same venom as its own. I should like to add further observations from personal experience, bearing on this very interesting subject.

The myth of scorpion suicide: are scorpions insensitive to their own venom? [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1998
ABSTRACT The resistance of the scorpion Androctonus australis to its own venom, as well as to the venom of other species, was investigated. A comparison of the electrical and pharmacological properties of muscle and nerve fibres from Androctonus australis with those from the crayfish Procambarus clarkii enabled us to understand the lack ...

Short-chain peptides identification of scorpion Buthus martensi Karsch venom by employing high orthogonal 2D-HPLC system and tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]

, 2012
Scorpion venom contains a considerable variety of neurotoxic peptides that can act on ionic channels. Here, we describe an orthogonal 2D-reversed phase/hydrophilic interaction chromatography system (RPLC/HILIC) and use it to separate short-chain peptides

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1863-1876, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.
