this report presents a new record of iranolacerta brandtii brandtii from 30 km south of tekab city, west azarbaijan province and 130 km south of the previously known distribution range of the subspecies; a new record of iranolacerta zagrosica in kaljonun mountain peak, lorestan province, about 70 km northwest of the type locality; a new record of apathya cappadocica urmiana in the manesht prote...

This paper provides evidence for the presence of Gazella gazella on Fmur Island of Iran in the Persian Gulf. The species has not hitherto been reported from Iran. Based on univariate and multivariate analysis of a number of morphological features of the skull including horn length, premaxillae type, shape of nasal bones and skull breadth it is concluded that the Iranian population represents ...

The taxonomic and phylogenetic status of several taxa previously recognized as subspecies inAstragalus sect. Anthylloidei is re-assessed based on DNA sequences and morphologicalfeatures. We focused on Astragalus ebenoides (subsp. ebenoides and subsp. naghadehensis),Astragalus murinus (subsp. murins and subsp. bornmuelleri), Astragalus remotiflorus (subsp.remotiflorus and subsp. melanogramma), A...

The distribution of Gazella bennetti in Iran is reviewed. The species is commonly said to be confined to the southeastern part of the country, but is actually widespread over suitable areas, east of the Zagros Range and south of the Alborz. In the north and west of this range, there is a hitherto undescribed subspecies, which is named and diagnosed for the first time in this paper; its similari...

ABSTRACT Six subspecies are currently recognized in Salmonella enterica. Subspecies I (subspecies enterica) is responsible for nearly all infections in humans and warm-blooded animals, while five other subspecies are isolated principally from cold-blooded animals. We sequenced 21 phylogenetically diverse strains, including two representatives from each of the previously unsequenced five subspec...
