Here, we analyse aspects of the intraguild interactions occurring between Centruroides limbatus (Pocock, 1898) and Tityus ocelote Francke &amp; Stockwell, 1987 (Buthidae) in a tropical forest of Costa Rica. We divided the study in 2 areas: north and south. Results show differences in abundance and distribution of C. limbatus (north = 16, south = 8) and T. ocelote (north = 2, south = 37); a major frequency of females for both species (74% &#9792; and 26% &#9794; in C. limbatus, 78% &#9792; and 22% &#9794; in T. ocelote; 55 sexed scorpions); similar microhabitat preferences (trees with vines, palms) and significant differences (p = 0.037) in the height at which both species were located above ground in each zone. Significant differences in height between zones showed disparity in habitat selection (north and south), whereas non-significant differences in height between species indicated niche overlap in those areas where they coexist, confirmed by the Morisita index for niche overlap in the southern zone (M-NO = 0.686). Cannibalism was reported in C. limbatus. These intraguild interactions indicate the existence of some level of competition between these scorpions.]]></p></abstract>

Aquí analizamos algunos aspectos de las interacciones intragremio entre Centruroides limbatus (Pocock, 1898) y Tityus ocelote Francke y Stockwell, 1987 (Buthidae) en un bosque tropical de Costa Rica. Dividimos el estudio en 2 áreas: norte y sur. Los resultados mostraron diferencias en abundancia y distribución de C. limbatus (norte = 16, sur = 8) y T. ocelote (norte = 2, sur = 37); mayor frecuencia de hembras en ambas especies (74% &#9792; y 26% &#9794; en C. limbatus, 78% &#9792; y 22% &#9794; en T. ocelote; 55 escorpiones sexados); preferencias de microhábitat similares (árboles con lianas, palmeras) y diferencias significativas (p = 0.0037) en la altura a la que ambas especies se encontraban en cada zona. Las diferencias significativas en la altura entre zonas mostraron disparidad en selección de hábitat (norte y sur), mientras que las diferencias no significativas en la altura entre especies mostraron solapamiento de nicho en áreas dónde coexistían, confirmado por el índice de Morisita para solapamiento de nicho en la zona sur (M-NO = 0.686). Se reportó canibalismo en C. limbatus. Estas interacciones intragremio manifiestan la existencia de cierto nivel de competencia entre estos escorpiones.]]></p></abstract>
