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. -

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.

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. -

IN IRAN Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green Fulfillment
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF BROADCASTING IN IRAN Bigan Kimiachi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1978 © 1978 BI GAN KIMIACHI ALL RIGHTS RESERVED n iii ABSTRACT Geophysical and geopolitical pecularities of Iran have made it a land of international importance throughout recorded history, especially since its emergence in the twentieth century as a dominant power among the newly affluent oil-producing nations of the Middle East. Nearly one-fifth the size of the United States, with similar extremes of geography and climate, and a population approaching 35 million, Iran has been ruled since 1941 by His Majesty Shahanshah Aryamehr. While he has sought to restore and preserve the cultural heritage of ancient and Islamic Persia, he has also promoted the rapid westernization and modernization of Iran, including the establishment of a radio and television broadcasting system second only to that of Japan among the nations of Asia, a fact which is little known to Europeans or Americans. The purpose of this study was to amass and present a comprehensive body of knowledge concerning the development of broadcasting in Iran, as well as a review of current operations and plans for future development. A short survey of the political and spiritual history of pre-Islamic and Islamic Persia and a general survey of mass communication in Persia and Iran, especially from the Il iv advent of the telegraph is presented, so that the development of broadcasting might be seen in proper perspective and be more fully appreciated. -
Studying the Prevalence of Parasitic Infections of the Skin and Gills of Rainbow Trout in Fish Farms of Sistan Province

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 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.
