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.

  • Desert Utopia: the Hidden Unity of Iranian Architecture Conceptualization Behind the Making of a Documentary Film
    American International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4 No. 2; April 2018 Desert Utopia: The Hidden Unity of Iranian Architecture Conceptualization behind the Making of a Documentary Film Khosrow Bozorgi Professor of Architecture and Urban Design Director, Center for Middle Eastern Architecture and Culture College of Architecture, University of Oklahoma United States of America NARRATIVE Desert Utopia will examine the history of architecture in three desert cities in Iran, exploring unique aspects of the built environment that enabled people to flourish in one of the world’s harshest climates. Although the film will focus on the history of Iranian desert architecture spanning thousands of years, this project is nevertheless timely for today’s American audiences. Due to concerns about global environmental change, sustainable building techniques have emerged as a topic of increasing interest over the past two decades. This interest encompasses themes such as the use of local building materials, creative ways to minimize water use (and water waste), and ways to reduce the amount of energy spent on heating and cooling. Furthermore, the geopolitics of the last two decades also have piqued Americans’ curiosity about the Middle East, especially Iran, but for many people, their knowledge about this part of the world is spotty or even misinformed. Desert Utopia is therefore a film that comes at the right time: It will help satisfy Americans’ curiosity about environmentally sound architecture while filling some of the gaps in their knowledge about Iranian culture and history. However, Desert Utopia is more than simply a film about sustainable architecture in Iranian history.

The research shows that the bazaar element, in some cities such as Yazd, still plays a role as the main feature of the city and has the appropriate physical and social credibility.

    Day 1: Flight from your home country to Tehran capital of IRAN Day 2: Tehran Arrivals in Tehran International Airport, meet and assist at airport and transfer to the hotel. Afternoon: visiting Niavaran Palace and Bazaar e Tajrish and Enanzadeh Saleh mausoleum. O/N: Tehran. The Niavaran Complex is a historical complex situated in Shemiran, Tehran (Greater Tehran), Iran. It consists of several buildings and monuments built in the Qajar and Pahlavi eras. The complex traces its origin to a garden in Niavaran region, which was used as a summer residence by Fath-Ali Shah of the Qajar Dynasty. A pavilion was built in the garden by the order of Naser ed Din Shah of the same dynasty, which was originally referred to as Niavaran House, and was later renamed Saheb Qaranie House. The pavilion of Ahmad Shah Qajar was built in the late Qajar period. During the reign of the Pahlavi Dynasty, a modern built mansion namedNiavaran House was built for the imperial family of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. All of the peripheral buildings of the Saheb Qaranie House, with the exception of the Ahmad Shahi Pavilion, were demolished, and the buildings and structures of the present-day complex were built to the north of the Saheb Qaranie House. In the Pahlavi period, the Ahmad Shahi Pavilion served as an exhibition area for the presents from world leaders to the Iranian monarchs. Im?mz?deh S?leh is one of many Im?mzadeh mosques in Iran. The mosque is located at Tajrish Square in Tehran's northern Shemiran district. The mosque entombs the remains of S?leh, a son of the Twelver Sh?‘ah Im?m, M?s? al-K?dhim, and is one of the most popular Sh?‘ah shrines in northern Tehran.

The palaeontological analysis led to identification of twenty seven taxa of benthic foraminifera and algae in the section studied. Diverse assemblages of benthic foraminifera and also the low planktonic/benthic (P/B) ratio show that the sedimentary environment in the study area was oxygenated and shallow.

It enabled the collection of 146 plant specimens in SE Iran. It’s a small but rather rare and significant contribution to the knowledge of a very remote and poorly known region of central Asia, including both important endemics and characteristic species of steppic and desertic environments.

Riassunto Contributo alla conoscenza floristica dell’Iran: un’erborizzazione nell’area del deserto di Lut (Provincia di Kerman) Il progetto di ricerca congiunto “Meteorites and plants from Lut desert”, condotto dalle sezioni di Botanica e Mineralogia del Museo di Storia Naturale di Firenze in collaborazione con rappresentanti di altre istituzioni sia italiane che iraniane, ha permesso la raccolta di 146 campioni vegetali nell’Iran sud-orientale. Si tratta di un modesto ma raro e significativo contributo alla conoscenza di una regione particolarmente remota e poco conosciuta dell’Asia centrale, che comprende importanti endemismi e specie caratteristiche di ambienti steppici e desertico.
