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 Dual α-Amidation System in Scorpion Venom Glands [PDF]
, 2019 Many peptides in scorpion venoms are amidated at their C-termini. This post-translational modification is paramount for the correct biological function of ion channel toxins and antimicrobial peptides, among others.

Microbiota discovered in scorpion venom. [PDF]
PLoS OneAbstract With low nutrient availability and presence of numerous antimicrobial peptides, animal venoms have been traditionally considered to be harsh sterile environments that lack bacteria. Contrary to this assumption, recent studies of animal venom and venom-producing tissues have revealed the presence of diverse ...

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 ...

Anticoagulant Activity of Low-Molecular Weight Compounds from Heterometrus laoticus Scorpion Venom
Toxins, 2017 Scorpion venoms are complex polypeptide mixtures, the ion channel blockers and antimicrobial peptides being the best studied components. The coagulopathic properties of scorpion venoms are poorly studied and the data about substances exhibiting these ...

Exploring the biological activities and proteome of Brazilian scorpion Rhopalurus agamemnon venom [PDF]
, 2021 Scorpion venoms are formed by toxins harmful to various organisms, including humans. Several techniques have been developed to understand the role of proteins in animal venoms, including proteomics approach.

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.

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 533-543, August 2026.Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.
