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. -

Landslide Zonation in Fasham Area of Tehran Province (Iran) Abstract Introduction
LANDSLIDE ZONATION IN FASHAM AREA OF TEHRAN PROVINCE (IRAN) Shadi Khoshdoni Farahani, Assoc.Prof.Dr.Md Nor Kamarudin, Dr. Mojgan Zarei Nejad Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia 81300 Skudai, Johor, Malaysia Email: [email protected] Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia 81300 Skudai, Johor , Malaysia Email: [email protected] GIS Center, Solvegatan 12, 223 62 Lund, Lund University, Sweden Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Tehran province which encircles the capital of the Islamic Republic of Iran is highly momentous from the politico- socio-economic-cultural aspects. This significance has instigated the implementation of the geological, geographical and climatological studies in this state in a comprehensive and precise manner. Fasham district in the north eastern part of Tehran province which is a geologically and geographically area has been opted out in this research for semi- detailed studies. the case studied in this research is the landslide in Fasham area. Iran is one of the highly landslide prone countries due to its particular geological, topographical and climatological conditions. Heavy financial lost are reported each year due to the landslide occurrence. The transpiration of these landslides occasionally brings about other death tolls and financial lost originating from earthquakes. Some of the factors affecting this phenomenon are as follows: the alteration of the slope amplitude, geotechnical and litho logical circumstances, earthquake and trembling, tectonics motions, structural alterations, pluvial effects and snow thawing, the extermination of the vegetation, land utilization alteration. The zone under studied is prone to landslide due to various reasons such as possessing special geological conditions and special geographical position. -
Phylogenetic Relationships of Freshwater Fishes of the Genus Capoeta (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) in Iran
Received: 3 May 2016 | Revised: 8 August 2016 | Accepted: 9 August 2016 DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2411 ORIGINAL RESEARCH Phylogenetic relationships of freshwater fishes of the genus Capoeta (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) in Iran Hamid Reza Ghanavi | Elena G. Gonzalez | Ignacio Doadrio Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Biodiversity and Evolutionary Abstract Biology Department, CSIC, Madrid, Spain The Middle East contains a great diversity of Capoeta species, but their taxonomy re- Correspondence mains poorly described. We used mitochondrial history to examine diversity of the Hamid Reza Ghanavi, Department of algae- scraping cyprinid Capoeta in Iran, applying the species- delimiting approaches Biology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden. Email: [email protected] General Mixed Yule- Coalescent (GMYC) and Poisson Tree Process (PTP) as well as haplotype network analyses. Using the BEAST program, we also examined temporal divergence patterns of Capoeta. The monophyly of the genus and the existence of three previously described main clades (Mesopotamian, Anatolian- Iranian, and Aralo- Caspian) were confirmed. However, the phylogeny proposed novel taxonomic findings within Capoeta. Results of GMYC, bPTP, and phylogenetic analyses were similar and suggested that species diversity in Iran is currently underestimated. At least four can- didate species, Capoeta sp4, Capoeta sp5, Capoeta sp6, and Capoeta sp7, are awaiting description. Capoeta capoeta comprises a species complex with distinct genetic line- ages. The divergence times of the three main Capoeta clades are estimated to have occurred around 15.6–12.4 Mya, consistent with a Mio- Pleistocene origin of the di- versity of Capoeta in Iran. The changes in Caspian Sea levels associated with climate fluctuations and geomorphological events such as the uplift of the Zagros and Alborz Mountains may account for the complex speciation patterns in Capoeta in Iran. -

Res., 2(4)3805-3819, 2012 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2012, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com Active Tectonics of Tehran Area, Iran Mehran Arian1 *, Nooshin Bagha2 1Associate professor, Department of Geology, Science and Research branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran 2Ph.D.Student, Department of Geology, Science and Research branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT Tehran area (with 2398.5 km2 area) extended from the east of Damavand volcano to the west of Karaj city. This area is a major part of Tehran province and according to geologic division is a minor part of Alborz zone. This area is under compressive stress and shortening that caused by Arabia – Eurasia Convergence. This situation has confirmed by dominant existence of folded structures and thrust fault system. We have investigated geologic hazards of Tehran area, because this area is the most strategic part of Iran. The major faults have been investigated and have not been found any evidences to existence of north and south Rey faults. In the other hand, active tectonic of this area has been investigated and Mosha fault has been introduced as the most active fault. The high seismic potential has been distinguished by integration of structural geology and active tectonic studies. The evaluation of movement potential of the main faults in the current tectonic regime shows the North Tehran fault has % 90 potential to movement. In addition the hazard potentials of landslides, settlements, volcanism and dams have been introduced. Finally, geologic hazard map has been prepared and has been divided to10 zones with one to four ranking of risk. -

To investigate the prevalence of parasitic infections of the skin and gills of rainbow trout in the fish farms of Sistan province, we visited8 rainbow trout farms and thus, 260 fishes were randomly collected and tested. According to this survey, out of 2080 samples in 8 fish farms, 21 samples contained Ichthyophthirius (1%), 673 samples contained Trichodina (32.4%), 29 samples contained Dactylogyrus (1.39%), 89 samples contained Gyrodactylus (4.3%) and 1268 samples (60.9%) were free from parasite. The highest rate of infection was related to the Trichodina parasite. KEYWORDS : Rainbow trout, Sistan, Parasite infection INTRODUCTION Development of aquaculture plays a very important role in supplying human food in economy of different countries. One of the conditions for reproduction of aquatics is maintaining hygiene and preventing diseases in them. Fishes constitute a large group of animals and have a high nutritional value and hence, identifying them and assessing their diversity and biology are of great importance. Also, identifying factors that endanger fish life cycle and health are also important. -
The Land of Glory and Beauties
IRAN The Land of Glory and Beauties Iranian Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization www.tourismiran.ir Iran is the land of four seasons, history and culture, souvenir and authenticity. This is not a tourism slogan, this is the reality inferred from the experience of visitors who have been impressed by Iran’s beauties and amazing attractions. Antiquity and richness of its culture and civilization, the variety of natural and geographical attractions, four - season climate, diverse cultural sites in addition to different tribes with different and fascinating traditions and customs have made Iran as a treasury of tangible and intangible heritage. Different climates can be found simultaneously in Iran. Some cities have summer weather in winter, or have spring or autumn weather; at the same time in summer you might find some regions covered with snow, icicles or experiencing rain and breeze of spring. Iran is the land of history and culture, not only because of its Pasargad and Persepolis, Chogha Zanbil, Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Yazd and Shiraz, Khuzestan and Isfahan, and its tangible heritage inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List; indeed its millennial civilization and thousands historical and archeological monuments and sites demonstrate variety and value of religious and spiritual heritage, rituals, intact traditions of this country as a sign of authenticity and splendor.

Iran is the land of souvenirs with a lot of Bazars and traditional markets. -
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. -

The present study tried to explain the pattern language system of district 1 of Tehran, based on Christopher Alexander‟s theory of pattern language and adapt this theory to the public‟s concepts. This purpose was done by examining different theories belonging to prominent theoreticians, interviews, and maps obtained from the public and adapting them to the data of district 1 urban geographic system, live patterns were obtained according to pattern language theory. According to the findings of the research, among five major indexes of perceptual organization (node, edge, landmark, path, and district) from Kevin Lynch‟s view, nodes had more importance to the people of District 1, and other indexes stood at lower levels of importance. Based on a 4-page format that was used for the first time Nafeh in her thesis at Waterloo university, in field study format, these nodes were surveyed and analyzed by interviewing team on the pages, and consequently, 37 graduals and reticulated live patterns were obtained. -

The in which the human-nature relationship has been studied term ‘issues’ here refers to the needs, potentials and from a variety of perspectives. This paper mainly studies problems of the two spheres of citizens and the city’s the existing and potential issues in the human-nature natural structures. Investigating the present issues in relationship in the projects that have been implemented to implemented projects reveals how people perceive and date. With a specific focus on Tehranian residents and subsequently interact with the nature in cities at the present Tehran’s seven river-valleys, this research investigates the time. This paper aims to open up a research platform in present and future needs, problems and potentials of river- order to revive, improve and strengthen the human- nature valleys, as well as those of Tehranian users in the current interaction in current and future projects.
