Can size make a difference? Cross-predation occurrences between lizards and scorpions in the Brazilian seasonal dry tropical forest
. Cross-predation is an important event that may influence prey–predator dynamics, especially in arid and semiarid ecosystems. In this study, we report four predation events involving lizards and scorpions from different sites in the Brazilian seasonal dry tropical forest. In three of these events, the lizard acted as the predator, while in one event, the scorpion was the predator. Body size played a determining role when lizards were the predator of the scorpion, with larger vertebrates feeding on the arachnids. In contrast, when the sizes were similar, the scorpion acted as the predator of the lizard. Our findings suggest a complex relationship between lizards and scorpions in the Brazilian seasonal dry tropical forest.

期刊介绍:
Scientific peer-reviewed journal INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY publishes original papers, reviews and brief communications on morphology, anatomy, embryology, taxonomy, phylogeny, and ecology of any group of invertebrates from protistans to lower chordates. INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY accepts manuscripts in English or Russian and publishes them in printed and electronic versions. The Russian translations of English titles, abstracts and figure captions of the papers written by non-Russian authors can be provided by the editors. Invertebrate Zoology invites authors to publish extended monographic manuscripts after usual reviewing procedure. The monographic manuscripts can include up to 400 thousand letters and be prepared in English or in Russian. Accepted monographic manuscripts will have priority to be published in the nearest issue of the journal.
