Body

may
be
an
important
additional
tool
for
ecological
studies.
However,
this
information
is
still
lacking
many
arachnids
such
as
scorpions.
In
addition,
sex
can
considered
a
determining
factor
in
the
body
of
individuals
since

Thus,
we
evaluated
litter-dwelling
scorpion
Tityus
pusillus
Pocock,
1893.
For
this,
88
(44
by
sex)
were
used,
where
following
parameters
measured:
size,
fresh,
dry,
lipid
and
muscle
mass.
Our
results
showed
that
females
have
significantly
higher
values
than
males
all
measured.
Differences
life-history
traits
between
sexes,
foraging
activity

investment
directly
related
to
these
findings.
Finally,
our

End of the Season Blues: Senescence and Reproductive Trade-Offs in Male Scorpions

Seasonal
reproductive
dynamics
and
senescence
have
profound
impacts
on
male
fertility,
yet
these
processes
remain
understudied
in
scorpions.
This
study
investigates
how
parameters-such
as
testicular
mass,
sperm
quantity,
viability-change
over
the
course
of
season
