P.O.Box. 79145- 1468, Bandar Abbas, Iran. ABSTRACT Seashores of Hromzgan province in south of Iran were studied for collection and recogna­ tion of algal flora (1991-1996). 150 species of marine algae were recognized, including 36 Chlorophyta (16 new). 33 Phaeophyta (15 new). 75 Rhodophyta (42 new), 3 Xanthophyta (2 new) and 3 Cyanophyta (2 new). In this study number of algal species from iranian sea­ shores are increased to 201 species. INTRODUCTION shores.

    Podoces, 2008, 3(1/2): 1–30 Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960s and 1970s DEREK A. SCOTT Castletownbere Post Office, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland. Email: [email protected] Received 26 July 2008; accepted 14 September 2008 Abstract: The 12-year period from 1967 to 1978 was a period of intense ornithological activity in Iran. The Ornithology Unit in the Department of the Environment carried out numerous surveys throughout the country; several important international ornithological expeditions visited Iran and subsequently published their findings, and a number of resident and visiting bird-watchers kept detailed records of their observations and submitted these to the Ornithology Unit. These activities added greatly to our knowledge of the status and distribution of birds in Iran, and produced many records of birds which had rarely if ever been recorded in Iran before. This paper gives details of all records known to the author of 92 species that were recorded as rarities in Iran during the 12-year period under review. These include 18 species that had not previously been recorded in Iran, a further 67 species that were recorded on fewer than 13 occasions, and seven slightly commoner species for which there were very few records prior to 1967. All records of four distinctive subspecies are also included. The 29 species that were known from Iran prior to 1967 but not recorded during the period under review are listed in an Appendix. Keywords: Rare birds, rarities, 1970s, status, distribution, Iran. INTRODUCTION Eftekhar, E. Kahrom and J. Mansoori, several of whom quickly became keen ornithologists.

  • Trade and Cultural Contacts Between Northern and Southern Persian Gulf During Parthians and Sasanians: a Study Based on Pottery from Qeshm Island
    Intl. J. Humanities (2011) Vol. 18 (2): (89-115) Trade and Cultural Contacts between Northern and Southern Persian Gulf during Parthians and Sasanians: A Study Based on Pottery from Qeshm Island Alireza Hojabri-Nobari 1, Alireza Khosrowzadeh 2, Seyed Mehdi Mousavi Kouhpar 3, Hamed Vahdatinasab 4 Received:21/9/2011 Accepted:3/1/2011 Abstract The first season of survey at Qeshm, carried out during the winter of 2006, resulted in the identification of nine sites from the Parthian and Sasanian periods. The surface pottery from these sites suggests their trade and cultural relations with contemporary sites in the southern Persian Gulf and other areas. For instance, the Parthian and Sasanian glazed types in Qeshm Island are closely related materials found from Khuzestan as well as northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf, including ed-Dur, Suhar, Kush, Failaka and Qalat Bahrain. Parthian painted ware reveals close similarities to monochrome and bichrome painted pottery of southeastern Iran, Oman coasts and the southern Persian Gulf, specifically ed-Dur, Suhar, Kush and Tel-i-Abrak. The so-called Indian Red Polished Ware is the other diagnostic type widespread in the northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf from the middle Parthian up to the Downloaded from eijh.modares.ac.ir at 11:47 IRDT on Monday August 31st 2020 early Islamic period. The material was being widely produced in the Indian region (Gujarat) and Indus, and exported to different places around the Persian Gulf. The Coarse Black Ware ( ceramic noir epaise ) with decorative raised bands recorded in Qeshm compares with coarse-black material from the southern Persian Gulf, also occurring at sites such as ed-Dur and Abu Dhabi Islands.

The seroepidemiological condition of malaria in three main districts of Hormozgan Province, a low transmission area in southeast of Iran, was investigated. Methods. Sera samples (803) were collected from healthy volunteers from the three main districts (Bandar Lengeh in the west, Bandar Abbas in the center, and Bandar Jask in the east) of Hormozgan Province. A questionnaire was used to record the sociodemographic features of the participants during sample collecting. An in-house ELISA test, using crude antigens obtained from cell culture of Plasmodium falciparum, was adapted and used to detect anti-malaria antibodies in the sera.

  • |The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48908-9 — The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict Chelsi Mueller Frontmatter More Information |The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict The interwar period marked a transition from a Gulf society characterized by symbiosis and interdependency to a subregion characterized by national divisions, sectarian suspicions, rivalries, and political tension. In this study, Chelsi Mueller tells the story of a formative period in the Gulf, examining the triangular relationship between Iran, Britain, and the Gulf Arab shaykhdoms. By doing so, Mueller reveals how the revival of Iranian national ambitions in the Gulf had a significant effect on the dense web of Arab-Iranian relations during the interwar period. Shedding new light on our current understanding of the present-day Arab-Iranian conflict, this study, which pays particular attention to Bahrain and the Trucial States (United Arab Emirates), fills a significant gap in the literature on the history of Arab-Iranian relations in the Gulf and Iran’s Persian Gulf policy during the Reza Shah period. chelsi mueller is a research fellow at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48908-9 — The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict Chelsi Mueller Frontmatter More Information The Origins of the Arab-Iranian Conflict Nationalism and Sovereignty in the Gulf between the World Wars chelsi mueller Tel Aviv University © in this web

All rights reserved. Abstract Foraminifera are one of the most important fossil microorganisms in the Persian Gulf. During micropaleontological investigations in 5 sampling stations around the Kish Island, 14 genera and 15 species of dead Cenozoic benthic foraminifera were determined and described. Next to these assemblages, other organisms, such as microgastropods and spines of echinids were also looked into. In this study, the statistical analysis of foraminiferal distribution was done in one depth-zone (60-150 m and compared with the Australian-Iran Jaya Continental margin depth- zone.
