Scotopteryx kurmanjiana, a new species from the Kopet-Dagh Mountains (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae) [PDF]
Nota Lepidopterologica, 2014 Scotopteryx kurmanjiana sp. n. is described from the Kopet-Dagh Mountains in Northeast Iran and South Turkmenistan. The new species is considered to be closely related to Scotopteryx kuznetzovi (Wardikian, 1957) described from Armenia.

Study of planktonic morphotype of the Abderaz Formation at type section, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2009 Abderaz Formation at its type section with an age of Turonian-Early Campanian and a thickness of 300 m contains light grey shale and marl. The study of the planktonic foraminifera in isolated form led to differentiate three morphotype groups.

Are endemic species necessarily ecological specialists? Functional variability and niche differentiation of two threatened Dianthus species in the montane steppes of northeastern Iran. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Endemic species are believed to converge on narrow ranges of traits, with rarity reflecting adaptation to specific environmental regimes. We hypothesized that endemism is characterized by limited trait variability and environmental tolerances in two ...

Relative contributions of taxonomic and functional diversity to the assembly of plant communities hosting endemic Dianthus species in a mountain steppe [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPlant community assembly is the outcome of long-term evolutionary events (evident as taxonomic diversity; TD) and immediate adaptive fitness (functional diversity; FD); a balance expected to shift in favour of FD in ‘harsh’ habitats under intense ...
