Introduction: Studies concerning the biology and ecology of scorpions in Iran are very limited , and these studies must be begun with identification of habitats and funa of scorpions of each region in the country and completed with biological and ecological charactristics .The aim of this study was to identify and determine the funa of Lorestan scorpions. Materials and Methods: In this descrip...
Scorpion primers can be used to detect PCR products in homogeneous solution. Their structure promotes a unimolecular probing mechanism. We compare their performance with that of the same probe sequence forced to act in a bimolecular manner. The data suggest that Scorpions indeed probe by a unimolecular mechanism which is faster and more efficient than the bimolecular mechanism. This mechanism i...
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...
Although Mesobuthus scorpions in China have become endangered in recent years, they are largely underinvestigated. Even the baseline data on their distributions are lacking. Here the geographical distributions of two Mesobuthus scorpions in China are provided through a combined study of systematic field surveys and GIS-based ecological niche modeling using 227 surveyed point occurrence data acr...
Scorpions are abundant in arid areas, where their population biomass may exceed that of vertebrates. Since scorpions are predators of small arthropods and feed infrequently across multi-year lifespans, a parsimonious explanation for their observed, anomalously high biomass may be a depressed metabolic rate (MR). We tested the hypothesis that scorpion MR is significantly depressed compared with ...
23 While it would appear that the decision to incorporate or subsume the Directorate of Special Operations (or Scorpions), into the South African Police Service (SAPS) is a fait accompli, the process of incorporation will not be straightforward. This is largely because the decision to disband the Scorpions is politically motivated, rather than motivated by practical concerns around the function...
Received 4 January 2005. Accepted 9 November 2005. Distributed December 2005. Abstract Circumstantial evidences for mimicry of scorpions by the neotropical gecko Coleodactylus brachystoma (Squamata, Gekkonidae) in the Cerrados of central Brazil. There are few records of invertebrates mimicry by reptiles. In the Cerrados of central Brazil, the small Coleodactylus brachystoma is an endemic specie...
Representing a basal branch of arachnids, scorpions are known as 'living fossils' that maintain an ancient anatomy and are adapted to have survived extreme climate changes. Here we report the genome sequence of Mesobuthus martensii, containing 32,016 protein-coding genes, the most among sequenced arthropods. Although M. martensii appears to evolve conservatively, it has a greater gene family tu...
In the dry zone between North Africa and South Asia scorpions have caught the imagination of nomads and sedentary people in various ways. First of all, venomous scorpions have long been considered as embodiments of evil, but also as protectors to counter the powers of other evil forces. This is reμected in beliefs, in pictorial representations of oriental art from early historic periods, and in...
This brief review summarizes the studies in systematics and zoogeography of European scorpions. The current “splitting” trend in scorpion taxonomy is only a reasonable response to the former “lumping.” Our better understanding of scorpion systematics became possible due to the availability of new morphological characters and molecular techniques, as well as of new material. Many taxa and local ...
