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 scorpiology, including (but not limited to): systematics, evolution, ecology, biogeography, and general biology of scorpions. Review papers, descriptions of new taxa, faunistic surveys, lists of museum collections, and book reviews are welcome. Derivatio Nominis The name Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 refers to the most common genus of scorpions in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe (family Euscorpiidae).
BioOne Complete (complete.BioOne.org) is a full-text database of 200 subscribed and open-access titles in the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences published by nonprofit societies, associations, museums, institutions, and presses.

Se evaluaron las diversidades alfa (riqueza de especies a nivel local), beta (recambio de especies entre sitios) y gamma (riqueza de especies en todo el paisaje) de alacranes en el monte espinoso de la cuenca del río Motagua, específicamente en la porción comprendida entre El Rancho ( El Progreso) y Río Hondo (Zacapa), con el propósito de determinar el efecto que presenta el cambio de uso de suelo sobre la diversidad de especies y de establecer el grado de influencia de los componentes alfa y beta de la diversidad sobre la riqueza de especies del paisaje. Entre los meses de julio y agosto de 2008 se maestrearon ocho localidades del paisajecon distinto porcentaje de cambio de uso del suelo. Cada localidad fue maestreada dos veces durante el estudio. Cada maestreo consistió en recorrer cada sitio por 45 minutos (2 colectores a la vez) utilizando lámparas portátiles de luz ultravioleta para localizar a los alacranes. En todo el paisaje se registraron 3 especies, pertenecientes a 2 familias y 2 géneros. Las especies fueron Centmroides margariTatiis y Centruroid.es schmidti, familia Buthidae y Diplocentrus sp. , familia Scorpionidae. En los tres fragmentos con mayor porcentaje original de cobertura boscosa, es decir, los sitios con menor porcentaje de cambio de uso del suelo, se encontraron las tres especies. En el resto de fragmentos, se encontró una o dos especies. Al parecer, el cambio de uso del suelo es la variable que mejor explica la diversidad de alacranes obtenida. La correlación entre las dos variables produjo un r - 0.95 (p < 0.001). Por otro lado, la diversidad de especies del paisaje (diversidad gamma) está determinada en mayor forma por la riqueza de especies a nivel local (diversidad alfa) que por el recambio de especies (diversidad beta). Por lo tanto, la distribución original de las especies de alacranes en el monte espinoso de la cuenca del Motagua, previo a los procesos de fragmentación, era homogénea.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
