Distribution of scorpions (arachnida: scorpiones) according to inaturalist observations in Panama Abstract Scorpions are an important component of Panama’s biodiversity, yet their distribution remains poorly documented. This study analyzed their spatial distribution using 384 research-grade records obtained from iNaturalist between 2020 and 2025. A total of 15 species belonging to three families and five genera were identified. Centruroides bicolor was the most frequently recorded species, while the provinces of Panamá, Coclé, and Veraguas showed the highest species richness and number of observations. The results highlight the potential of iNaturalist as a complementary tool for studying distribution patterns, identifying knowledge gaps, and guiding future research on Panama’s scorpion fauna.
