Updated catalogue and taxonomic notes on the Old-World scorpion genus Buthus Leach, 1815 (Scorpiones, Buthidae)
Since the publication of the ground-breaking "Catalogue of the scorpions of the world (1758-1998)" (Fet et al. 2000) the number of species in the scorpion genus Buthus Leach, 1815 has increased 10-fold, and this genus is now the fourth largest within the Buthidae, with 52 valid named species. Here we revise and update the available information regarding Buthus. A new combination is proposed: Bu...
متن کاملGenetic and morphological analyses indicate that the Australian endemic scorpion Urodacus yaschenkoi (Scorpiones: Urodacidae) is a species complex
BACKGROUND Australian scorpions have received far less attention from researchers than their overseas counterparts. Here we provide the first insight into the molecular variation and evolutionary history of the endemic Australian scorpion Urodacus yaschenkoi. Also known as the inland robust scorpion, it is widely distributed throughout arid zones of the continent and is emerging as a model orga...
متن کاملEffect of starvation and refeeding on the scorpion, Buthus tamulus.
1. Scorpions were starved for 1, 4, 8, and 12 days and then subsequently refed until the sixteenth day. The concentrations of glycogen, amino acid, and protein in the liver were determined to evaluate the effect of starvation and refeeding on these biochemical constituents. 2. The concentration of glycogen decreased gradually but significantly with the progressive days of starvation. After refe...
متن کاملWhole Transcriptome of the Venom Gland from Urodacus yaschenkoi Scorpion
Australian scorpion venoms have been poorly studied, probably because they do not pose an evident threat to humans. In addition, the continent has other medically important venomous animals capable of causing serious health problems. Urodacus yaschenkoi belongs to the most widely distributed family of Australian scorpions (Urodacidae) and it is found all over the continent, making it a useful m...
متن کاملIn vitro neutralization of the scorpion, Buthus tamulus venom toxicity.
Scorpion (Buthus tamulus) venom was subjected to neutralization by treating the venom with various chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, thiourea, formaldehyde, zinc sulphate, acetic acid and trichloroacetic acid. The venom was also subjected to heat treatment. The levels of total protein, free amino acids and protease activity in neutralized venom decreased significantly. The ...
