A New Red List of Endemic Vascular Plants of Iran Identifies a High Proportion of Threatened Species and Major Conservation Gaps. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Many endemic species are threatened by extinction due to anthropogenic activities, especially in global biodiversity hotspots with high number of endemics and high rate of destruction of natural habitats. IUCN Red List of threatened species is one of the most comprehensive data sources used in conservation biology to classify species based on their ...

Mitogenomic Analysis of Glirids (Gliridae) and Squirrels (Sciuridae) From Türkiye: Evolutionary and Taxonomic Implications Within the Suborder Sciuromorpha. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents mitogenomic analyses of three squirrel (Sciuridae) and three dormouse (Gliridae) species from Türkiye, uncovering significant phylogenetic and phylogeographic insights within the suborder Sciuromorpha. Phylogenetic analyses positioned Gliridae as the basal group within the suborder, and mitogenomic and CYTB data revealed distinct ...

Phylogenomic inference and demographic model selection suggest peripatric separation of the cryptic steppe ant species Plagiolepis pyrenaica stat. rev. [PDF]

Mol Ecol, 2023
Abstract The ant Plagiolepis taurica Santschi, 1920 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) is a typical species of the Eurasian steppes, a large grassland dominated biome that stretches continuously from Central Asia to Eastern Europe and is represented by disjunct outposts also in Central and Western Europe.

Evidence of early Aptian Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE1a) in the Central Kopet-Dagh (Qaleh-Zoo section), with special reference to the calcareous nannofossil assemblages [PDF]

Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2019
In the current study, a succession from the middle part of the Sarcheshmeh Formation was investigated to record the early Aptian oceanic anoxic event 1a (OAE1a) at the Qaleh-Zoo section in the central part of the Kopet-dagh Basin.

Mapping endemic freshwater fish richness to identify high-priority areas for conservation: An ecoregion approach. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Iran's freshwater ecosystems are home to 85 endemic fish species. By analyzing distribution records and using a generalized linear model, the researchers identified the Zagros Mountains as having the highest endemic fish richness, followed by a moderate level between the Zagros and Alborz Mountains.
