Biogeography of scorpion communities in the southern Carnarvon Basin, Western AustraliaWA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 8 years agoABSTRACT – Ten scorpion species of four genera were recorded from 61 quadrats positioned through the 75 000 km2 study area, and sampled continuously over a 12 month period (114 000 trap nights). An average of 3.1 species were recorded per quadrat. Analysis of the data matrix revealed that species abundance patterns related to various climatic and soil attributes, particularly soil texture, while assemblage composition conformed with annual average precipitation.
