Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Pollen assemblages are widely used to infer paleoenvironment features, aiming at reconstructing both past climates and biomes. However, the functional link between environmental conditions and pollen assemblages is not straightforward and requires thorough testing to be used confidently.

Biogeographic Patterns of Iranian Lepidoptera: A Framework for Conservation
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.ABSTRACT Aim The contact zone of three zoogeographic realms, the Palearctic, Saharo‐Arabian and Oriental, is an evolutionary cradle of high species richness and endemism in Iran. In this study, we investigate statistically inferred bioregions of Lepidoptera in this region.

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The Iranian Plateau, a biogeographic hotspot shaped by Pleistocene refugia and topographic complexity, hosts six endemic Darevskia lizard species (D. caspica, D. defilippii, D. schaekeli, D. kamii, D. steineri, and D. kopetdaghica), ideal for studying evolutionary responses to environmental changes. These species, characterized by cryptic diversity and

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 5, May 2024.Abstract Aims The Middle East, located in the arid belt of the Earth, is home to a diverse range of biodiversity, with its mountain ecosystems being the most important centres of species diversity and endemism. In this study, the impact of climate change on alpine bird species in the Middle East was assessed across five mountain systems: Alborz–Kopet ...
