Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom-Induced Nociceptive Responses Depend on TRPV1, Immune Cells, and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines [PDF]
ToxinsFor centuries, researchers have been fascinated by the composition of scorpion venom and its local and systemic effects on humans. During a sting, scorpions inject peptides and proteins that can affect immune cells and neurons.

The role of bromeliad structural complexity on the presence, spatial distribution and predator avoidance in Tityus neglectus (Scorpiones: Buthidae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.Due to remarkable architectural design featuring rosette‐like leaf arrangements, bromeliads serve as habitats for various species. Bromeliad architecture is a key factor in the spatial distribution and occurrence of the Tityus neglectus scorpion. Furthermore, T.

Free Pasture of Exotic Goats Reduces Diversity and Negatively Affects Body Condition in Scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones) Assemblage From Brazilian Seasonal Dry Tropical Forest [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.Free goat grazing impacts the Caatinga vegetation. Negatively affecting the scorpion assemblage. Furthermore, it presents context‐dependent effects on the body traits of these arachnids. ABSTRACT Extensive grazing carried out freely by exotic goats represents an important source of anthropogenic degradation in seasonally dry tropical forests of Brazil.

Study of the Acute Toxicity of Scorpion Leiurus macroctenus Venom in Rats [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Background. The expansion of the territory of human habitation leads to inevitable interference in the natural range of distribution of one or another species of animals, some of which may be dangerous for human life. Scorpions—the Arachnida class and order Scorpiones—can be considered as such typical representatives.

Effects of landscape metrics on scorpion (Arachnida: Scorpiones) assemblage in a tropical urban ecosystem [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.Urban landscapes restrain the distribution of forest‐dwelling species. Urban forests can support scorpion assemblages. However, there is a turnover in specialist forest species for opportunistic species Abstract Urban landscapes restrain the distribution of forest‐dwelling species, which may be related to challenging conditions that impair body ...
