Arid environments: Opportunities for studying co-evolutionary patterns of scorpion venoms in predator–prey systems

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

We review the literature on the geographic and taxonomic diversity of species of lizards and scorpions that are involved in predator–prey interactions. Somewhat surprisingly, lizards are often the predators in these interactions. Consequently, our goals were to evaluate whether lizard predators had evolved morphological or physiological resistance to scorpion venom or whether the rely on behavioral evasions, and a...
