Phylogeny, classification and evolution of Silurian and Devonian scorpions

The phylogenetic position of scorpions within the Chelicerata has been the subject of much debate in recent years (e.g. Weygoldt & Paulus, 1979; Bergström, 1980; Van der Hammen, 1989; Shultz, 1990; Starobogatov, 1990), but it revolves around one primary question: are scorpions part of a monophyletic Arachnida, or are they “merostomes” which exhibit a terrestrial grade of existence? Inclusion of...

Euscorpius Occasional Publications in Scorpiology The Scorpion Sternum: Structure and Phylogeny (Scorpiones: Orthosterni)

Euscorpius is the first research publication completely devoted to scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Euscorpius takes advantage of the rapidly evolving medium of quick online publication, at the same time maintaining high research standards for the burgeoning field of scorpion science (scorpiology). Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for the publication of serious papers in scorpiolo...

A Late Carboniferous fossil scorpion from the Piesberg, near Osnabrück, Germany

The Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) Coal Measures of Europe and North America have yielded nearly forty accepted scorpion species (Fet et al. 2000); over a third of the known fossil fauna. On the face of it, scorpions would appear to be one of the most diverse groups found within these Coal Measures environments. However, at least some taxa seem to be of questionable validity, having been ra...

Overview of Scorpion Species from China and Their Toxins

Scorpions are one of the most ancient groups of terrestrial animals. They have maintained a steady morphology over more than 400 million years of evolution. Their venom arsenals for capturing prey and defending against predators may play a critical role in their ancient and conservative appearance. In the current review, we present the scorpion fauna of China: 53 species covering five families ...

Relative apparent synapomorphy analysis (RASA). I: The statistical measurement of phylogenetic signal.

We have developed a new approach to the measurement of phylogenetic signal in character state matrices called relative apparent synapomorphy analysis (RASA). RASA provides a deterministic, statistical measure of natural cladistic hierarchy (phylogenetic signal) in character state matrices. The method works by determining whether a measure of the rate of increase of cladistic similarity among pa...
