Gut Microbiome Diversity, Functional Potential, and Ecological Relevance of Hottentotta tamulus

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Long‐read 16S sequencing uncovers the gut microbiome of H. tamulus. A highly conserved and low‐diversity bacterial community dominates the gut fauna. Bacillus and Mycoplasma lineages emerge as predominant candidate endosymbionts. Exploratory profiles reveal potential sex‐specific trends in microbial abundance.

The locomotory rhythmic activity in scorpions: with a review [PDF]

Arthropods, 2013
Locomotory rhythmic behavior is entrained by the change between photophase and skotophase and to some extent by thermal conditions. In many species studied most activity takes place during early night hours.

No gain from pain: Lack of nociceptor activation suggests no adaptation for defence in the evolution of European viper venoms

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3048-3062, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Snake venoms show variability in composition at all taxonomic levels, both within and between species, and the selective pressures underlying this variation have long been debated.

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Scaling distribution in scorpions [PDF]

Arthropods, 2013
Scorpions being solitary animals are interesting in their distribution patterns. Nevertheless, the subject of scorpion distribution has received relatively less attention than other ecological aspects of that group.
