Future of Three Endemic Woody Species of Colutea (Fabaceae) in a Changing Climate in Iran
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Investigating how climate change is influencing the distribution of three Colutea species endemic to Iran by modeling the potentially suitable distribution range of the species under current and proposed future climate change scenarios. ABSTRACT Woody plants offer valuable services to ecosystems, including providing useful products, stabilizing ...

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.

An InSAR‐GNSS Velocity Field for Iran
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 10, 28 May 2024.Abstract We present average ground‐surface velocities and strain rates for the 1.7 million km2 area of Iran, from the joint inversion of InSAR‐derived displacements and GNSS data. We generate interferograms from 7 years of Sentinel‐1 radar acquisitions, correct for tropospheric noise using the GACOS system, estimate average velocities using LiCSBAS ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.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.
