Scorpions in urban environments in the Central Arizona-Phoenix area: site locations

Publication date: 2002

Author(s):

  • Nancy McIntyre, Texas Tech University

Abstract:

Determination of what degree of human modification influences the frequency of scorpion stings by looking at the number of scorpion stings in different zip code areas of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Results from this study may be useful in making recommendations on land development so scorpion stings are minimal.
