Microallopatry 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 کاملDetermination of the Median Lethal Dose and Electrophoretic Pattern of Hottentotta saulcyi (Scorpiones, Buthidae) Scorpion Venom
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the lethal potency, electrophoretic protein pattern and in vivo effects of Hottentotta saulcyi scorpion venom in mice. METHODS Scorpions were collected at night, by using a UV lamp from Mardin Province, Turkey. Venom was obtained from mature H. saulcyi scorpions by electrical stimulation of the telson. The lethality of the venom was determined by i.v....

متن کاملThe scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones) of the Aegean area: current problems in taxonomy and biogeography
The fauna and zoogeography of the scorpions in the Aegean area are not well researched and based upon specimens randomly collected and described by various authors in the past 150 years. A first revision ot the scorpions in this region was provided by Kinzelbach in 1975 (completed with maps in 1985). However, the taxonomical validity of some species and most of the subspecies, first of all thos...
