On the locality we recorded between 10.00 p.m. on 3.V. and 01.00 a.m. on 4.V.2015 temperature 28 ºC, which gradually dropped to 26.9 ºC and humidity 73%." figureDoi="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7124794" httpUri="https://zenodo.org/record/7124794/files/figure.png" pageId="41" pageNumber="40">Fig. 596</figureCitation>

. Records peaked in the earlier era of wooden sailing ships and harbors full of wooden barracks, both ideal niches for these scorpions. For that reason between 1758 and ca. 1940 this species was reported from many countries and large harbors including Hamburg in Europe. With the transition to modern building materials and modes of travel, reports of this species have greatly diminished, and in many places have ceased altogether. Apparently, relatively few of the old invasive populations were able to persist without being resupplied by a constant influx of new individuals via human transport. The distribution of

Firstly, their assertion implies that the authors know all species of scorpions present in every &quot;wild condition inland&quot; everywhere else on the globe. Secondly, their logic is flawed because although certain exotic species may fail to penetrate endemic 'wild' ecosystems of host countries, this is by no means the rule. There are many counterexamples where invasive species have become established in endemic ecosystems and displaced native fauna or flora, causing major negative impacts. However, Veronika et. al.
