The department of Arthropods started back in 1985, as "Arthropod Lab" with taxonomic and ecological orientations. The last years is more active in fields like biogeography, phylogeography and phylogenesis of many ground living Beetles (Carabidae, Tenebrionidae, Staphylinidae, etc.), the Scorpions of the Mediterranean, some ground living Spider families and Centipedes.
