Zusammenfassung

Untersucht wurde die Beschaffenheit der für das Funktionieren des Beutefang- und Geräuscherzeugungs-Mechanismus zuständigen Oberhaut am Tibia-Tarsus-Übergang der Zangen der SkorpionartPalamnaeus swammerdami. Im UV-Licht zeigt diese Oberhaut Autofluoreszenz. In Hydrolysaten wurden Dityrosin und Trityrosin nachgewiesen, was die Vermutung nahelegt, dass Resilin vorhanden ist.
