متن کاملMicroallopatry Caused Strong Diversification in Buthus scorpions (Scorpiones: Buthidae) in the Atlas Mountains (NW Africa)
The immense biodiversity of the Atlas Mountains in North Africa might be the result of high rates of microallopatry caused by mountain barriers surpassing 4000 meters leading to patchy habitat distributions. We test the influence of geographic structures on the phylogenetic patterns among Buthus scorpions using mtDNA sequences. We sampled 91 individuals of the genus Buthus from 51 locations sca...

متن کاملSting Use in Two Species of Parabuthus Scorpions (buthidae )
Scorpions sometimes capture and crush prey with their pedipalps and do not use their sting t o inject venom . Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that sting use is selective, resulting in conservation of venom . Sting use in relation to prey size and activity was studied in two African scorpions, Parabuthus liosoma and P. pallidus . Restrictive use of the sting was observed in bot...
متن کاملEvidence for recombination in scorpion mitochondrial DNA (Scorpiones: Buthidae).
There has been very little undisputed evidence for recombination in animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) provided so far. Previous unpublished results suggestive of mtDNA recombination in the scorpion family Buthidae, together with cytological evidence for a unique mechanism of mitochondrial fusion in that family, prompted us to investigate this group in more details. First, we sequenced the comple...
