Scorpions are venomous predatory arthropods with highly effective sensory mechanisms. They are equipped with a telson armed with two venom glands and a sting. Their ecophysiological characteristics have allowed them to adapt at many different environments and in particular deserts. Their ecological features reflect several key traits of their strategies and their relationships with their environment.
