I've made species biographies with extended information for some selected species. The biographies available so far are
listed below. I hope to add more biographies later. If someone would like to write a species biography and submit it for publication in The Scorpion Files,
please send it to me at
jan.rein@ub.ntnu.no.
Please follow the style used in already published biographies.
I will review submitted biographies, and I reserve the right to correct/edit submitted biographies (in cooperation with the author).
Information about scorpion families can be found by clicking on the family names in the menu to the left.
