Mesobuthus

Филогеографическая характеристика скорпионов рода Mesobuthus Vachon, 1950

Изучение зоогеографических характеристик в комплексе с использованием современных методов оценки филогенетических связей, позволило детально рассмотреть филогеографическую структуру у скорпионов рода Mesobuthus. В данной работе, для оценки филогенетических связей, были использованы расшифрованные последовательности фрагмента гена COI, полученные коллективом авторов в совместных работах и депонированные в базе Genbank (NCBI).

Phylogenetic analysis of scorpions of the genus Mesobuthus (Vachon, 1950), inhabiting the territory of Kazakhstan, based on the analysis of fragments of mitochondrial and nuclear genes.

The taxonomy of scorpions belonging to the genus Mesobuthus has undergone signifi cant revisions in recent times. Initially, based on the morphological characteristics, scientists identifi ed and described a considerable number of subspecies within diff erent species of this genus. However, in the last decade, modern researchers have “revised” the species diversity of the genus based on the results of genetic and morphological analyses, forming new separate species complexes.

Phylogenetic relationships of scorpions of the genus Mesobuthus (Vachon, 1950) from the Lower Volga and Southern Urals

. The article presents data on the new location of scorpions of the genus Mesobuthus in the Orenburg Nature Reserve. The aim of the work is to determine the species on the basis of the identifi ed morphological features of populations living in the Southern Urals (the territory of the Orenburg Nature Reserve, Orenburg region, Kuvandyksky Mountains.
