Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

  • Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960S and 1970S
    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.

  • Untangling Phylogenetic Patterns and Taxonomic Confusion in Tribe Caryophylleae (Caryophyllaceae) with Special Focus on Generic

This challenge is most serious in tribe Caryophylleae since the supposed genera seem to be highly artificial, and the available morphological evidence cannot effectively be used for delimitation and exact determination of taxa. The main goal of the present study was to re-assess the monophyly of the genera currently recognized in this tribe using molecular phylogenetic data. We used the sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the chloroplast gene rps16 for 135 and 94 accessions, respectively, representing all 16 genera currently recognized in the tribe Caryophylleae, with a rich sampling of Gypsophila as one of the most heterogeneous groups in the tribe.

  • Iran-Summer-Youth-Camp-2017M.Pdf
    Introduction and philosophy: According to the collaboration between Iran federation and UIAA, Iran won the nomination for holding youth camp of 2015, 2016 and 2017. The first camp was held successfully in Damavand Mount, 5671 meters; also the Second camp was held based on technical climb in Sabalan mount. As a result, the Youth Commission voted again for hosting this international event in Iran for 2017. In 2016 our commissions successfully hosted 22 participants from 7 different Asian and Europian countries, such as great members of Afghanistan federation, president of this organization, named Sedigheh Norestani, and participants from Island, India and Turkey; and 94 Iranian climbers including members of Youth National Team. The youth camp was held in Iran to maintain these purposes: • A chance for youth climbers to become familiar with Iran’s nature and social environment. • Getting to know mountains and continent of Iran. • Sharing cultural differences and experience cultural and social exchange. • Teaching Ice and snow techniques with experienced instructors. • Creating significant communication between Iran youth climbers and foreign climbers. • Obtaining international status in UIAA and among related commissions. Damavand 5671 meter High, magnificent adventure spot, sub active volcano Mt. Damavand is highest peak of Iran and the most prominent feature of Iran looming majestically near the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, also highest point in Middle East. The highest volcano of the Asia is well-known for its volcanic crater and very unique wild flowers named as Mountain Tulip (Tulipa Montana). You can see this special flower mainly in June. Mt Damavand 5671m has a narrow summit crater with permanent snowcap which surrounded by eye-catching peaks of Alborz Mountain range.

  • The Natural Areas and Landscape of Iran: an Overview
    The natural areas and landscape of Iran: an overview by B. Zehzad, Bahram H. Kiabi, and H. Madjnoonian Iran forms a large part of the Iranian plateau, and covers an area of 1,623,779 km². It is bordered in the north by the Caucasus Mts., Middle Asian natural regions and the Caspian Sea (-27 m below sea level); in the west by the Anatolian and Mesopotamian regions; in the east by the eastern part of the Iranian plateau (Afghanistan and adjacent west Pakistan) and the Baluch-Sindian region; and finally in the south by the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, which are connected by the latter to the Indian Ocean. The main highlands are comprised of four distinct mountainous areas: Alburz in the north (Mt. Damavand, 5628 m; Mt. Takht-e Soleyman, 4643 m); Kopet-Dagh and north Khorasan ranges in the north-east (Mt. Hezar- Masjed, 3040 m; Mt. Binaloud, 3211 m); Zagros in the west (Mt. Dena, 4409 m; Mt. Zard- Kuh, 4221 m); Jebal Barez and Baluchestan mountains in the central to southeast (Mt. Bah- raseman, 3886 m; Mt. Pelvar, 4233 m; Mt. Jupar, 4135 m; Mt. Lalehzar, 4351 m; Mt. Taf- tan, 3941 m). In addition, the northwest Iranian mountainous area (Mt. Sabalan, 4811 m; Mt. Sahand, 3707 m) and the central Iranian mountainous area (Mt. Karkas, 3895 m; Mt. Shirkuh, 4055 m) form more or less distinct highlands in the inner part of the country. Seven desert plains and depressions give the landscape a completely different appearance: Dasht-e Kavir in Central Iran, Dasht-e Lut desert, Sistan and Jazmurian depressions in the southeast, Khuzestan plain in the southwest, Moghan steppe in the northwest and the Turk- man-Sahra steppe in the northeast.
