Thrilled to see my study with Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society The Linnean Society of London featured by New Scientist's Michael Le Page! A fantastic spotlight on #scorpions, #biodiversity, and the importance of these incredible creatures. 🦂🌍

This short note describes a ritualized behavior called "arm-span competition" in scorpions. This behavior seems to be associated with pedipalp elongation in males. This work was entirely born on social media, highlighting the importance of citizen science in reporting rare events

Scorpions are just the coolest. Congrats Yuri et al! Awesome footage as well.
