Carboniferous strata in the Alborz mountains consist of calcareous rich fossils the main part of which is composed of rugose corals. There have been few studies carried out on corals so far. In this paper, a new subfamily, genus and eight new species of rugose corals from Mobarak limestones in the central Alborz mountains are introduced

Iran is known as the most complex and varied country in southwest Asia, in terms of geography, vegetation, climate and consequently biological diversity. The rather high number of recorded endemic species of Fulgoromorpha in Iran indicates a high potential for speciation in some areas. In this study, in order to identify the endemic zones for Fulgoromorpha of Iran, three main biogeographic regi...

thirteen species of rugose corals, belonging to nine genera are described from the givetian and lower frasnian rocks of thekhoshyeilagh formation in the eastern alborz mountains (northeastern iran). glossophyllum ceratites (goldfuss), glossophyllum sp.,keriophyllum cf. maillieuxi (tsien), pseudozaphrentis sp., temnophyllum imperfectum coen-aubert, temnophyllum occidentale hilland jell, temnophy...

Abstract Rodent biogeographic studies are disproportionately scarce in Iran, however, they an ideal system to understand drivers of biodiversity distributions the country. The aims present research determine (i) pattern rodent richness across country, (ii) quantify their elevational distribution patterns, and (iii) explore underlying mechanisms. To reach these goals, updated species list was co...
