Few Months ago, together with @jblascoarosteg we published a monography about European Buthus and we reduced the number of existing soecies from 20 to 9. In this new paper, all reasons for this choice are explained. bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

With morphology, genetics & SDMs, we show that only 9 of the 20 described European Buthus species are valid! Descriptions based solely on morphology are prone to mistakes for these scorpions. Fantastic work led by Javi which I am honored to be part of it. digitallibrary.amnh.org/items/c3e980...

My official baptism of Bluesky! Hot off the press! My last chapter of PhD has been finally published! Here we compare the internal anatomy of the chela closing muscles in two species of scorpions at the extremes of the chela morphological gradient. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
