Phylogenetic Status And Genetic Diversity Of Corsac Fox(Vulpes Corsac) In Golestan Province, Iran, Jalil Imani Harsini, Hamid Reza Rezaei, Saeid Naderi, Hosein Varasteh Moradi Jan 2017

Phylogenetic Status And Genetic Diversity Of Corsac Fox(Vulpes Corsac) In Golestan Province, Iran, Jalil Imani Harsini, Hamid Reza Rezaei, Saeid Naderi, Hosein Varasteh Moradi

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The lack of detailed and precise reports about the presence of corsac fox has caused ambiguities about the presence or absence or even extinction status of this species in its distribution range in Iran. Therefore, this is one of the complicated issues in Iran?s wildlife fauna and there has been no clear scientific answer to this question to date. In this study, 7 mitochondrial DNA control region haplotypes were identified in 10 corsac fox samples (4 tissue and 6 scat) taken from Golestan Province in Iran, and haplotype diversity was equal to 0.93. The genetic distance between individuals showed large …

New Additions To Iranian Collembola (Entognatha: Hexapoda) From Ilam Province(Western Iran), Masoumeh Shayanmehr, Majid Mirabbalou, Igor J. Kaprus

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Three species of springtails were identified as new records for Iranian fauna from Ilam Province, western Iran: Hemisotoma quadrioculatus (Martynova, 1967), Isotoma anglicana Lubbock, 1862 (Isotomidae), and Metaphorura riozoi Castaño-Meneses, Palacios- Vargas & Traser, 2000 (Tullbergiidae). Brief information for each species about material examined, ecology, illustrations, and distribution is given.


A New Species Of Oxyoppia (Oxyoppiella) (Acari: Oribatida: Oppiidae) From Iran, Elizabeth Hugo Coetzee, Parisa Lotfollahi, Ayda Abbasi Kalo, Elnaz Movahedzade Jan 2017

A New Species Of Oxyoppia (Oxyoppiella) (Acari: Oribatida: Oppiidae) From Iran, Elizabeth Hugo Coetzee, Parisa Lotfollahi, Ayda Abbasi Kalo, Elnaz Movahedzade

Turkish Journal of Zoology

A new oppiid species (Acari: Oribatida: Oppiidae), Oxyoppia (Oxyoppiella) minuscula sp. nov. from the Marand region in northwestern East Azerbaijan Province in Iran, is described and illustrated. A new generic (subgeneric) diagnosis of Oxyoppia (Oxyoppiella) Subías and Rodríguez, 1986 is given, and a key to all known species is provided.


Morphological And Molecular Characterization And Phylogenetic Position Of A Newrecord, Tylenchorhynchus Zeae, And Some Known Species Of Telotylenchidae Siddiqi,1960 And Merliniidae Siddiqi, 1971 From Iran, Somaye Alvani, Esmat Mahdikhani Moghaddam, Hamid Rouhani, Abbas Mohammadi Jan 2017

In order to identify the plant-parasitic nematodes associated with Berberis vulgaris, Crocus sativus, and Ziziphus zizyphus, 360 soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere of these plants in the South Khorasan Province of Iran during 2012-2014. Among the identified species, Tylenchorhynchus zeae Sethi and Swarup, 1968 of Telotylenchidae Siddiqi, 1960 is a new record from Iran and the isolate is described and illustrated based on morphological, morphometric, and molecular characteristics. The phylogenetic tree inferred from partial sequences of the 28S rRNA (D2D3 segments) grouped the Iranian isolate with other T. zeae sequences, forming a strongly supported clade (Bayesian posterior probability: …
