| Abstract | The Neotropical region of the Americas is among the most biodiverse places on Earth, but much of this biodiversity is still poorly described and understudied. Data on the region’s biota is essential to protect ecosystems and human health. Most research in the Neotropics has focused on plants and vertebrate animals. However, most animal species are invertebrates, many of which play critical roles in ecosystems. Scorpions are among the oldest lineages of terrestrial animals, and some produce poten |
