The Leaf-Toad Geckos of genus Asaccus are distributed in some parts of the Middle-East characterizing by a the unique characteristic of cloacal sacs and postanal bones absence. The genus Asaccus includes 19 species with at least 10 species in Iran distributing along the Zagros Mountains. Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is a body size difference between males and females of the same species, being a widespread phenomenon in reptiles. We collected additional specimens of Asaccus nasrullahi (Phyllodactylidae) from four new localities in Ilam and Khuzestan Provinces, western Iran. Sexual dimorphism in Asaccus nasrullahi has not yet been documented. In this study 110 adult specimens of this lizard were examined (for metric and meristic characters). The analyses of morphological data revealed that the males are significantly larger than the females in eight metric characters. There is no significant difference in the rate of tail shedding between the sexes. The range of this species is extended beyond type locality in Lorestan Province into adjacent areas in Ilam and Khuzestan Provinces.

Ongoing investigation into Chironomidae specimens collected from the Sirwan River watershed in 2020 resulted in two new faunistic records for Iran, and new range extensions for the Palearctic region. Two species, Paramerina divisa (Walker, 1856) and Xenochironomus xenolabis (Kieffer, 1916) are diagnosed and reported for the first time from Iran. This contributes to establishing baseline data about the diversity and distribution of freshwater flora and fauna of this region.

Rich avifauna of Fars province, SW Iran, is a stem from high diversity of habitat and climate beside its geographical position as a crossroad between Palearctic, Oriental, and Afrotropical realms. It shares the greatest number of bird species with the Palearctic region, however two other faunal realms, including Oriental and Afrotropical have a pronounced influence on its avifauna. It seems its bird fauna to be more in common with the Oriental elements than Afrotropical ones; the question addressed in this study. In addition, the province is located east of the Western Palearctic and close to the Eastern Palearctic border. I explored how much its bird elements have in common with the Eastern Palearctic. It is important because in some cases, western and eastern bird elements may come together with a narrow or wide hybrid zone. Based on my expeditions in recent years and pervious published literature, I present the comprehensive annotated checklist including 371 bird species in 197 genera, 68 families and 23 orders. At least 88 species are resident, 193 species are breeding, 33 species are rare and 21 species are vagrant. Based on the international conservation criteria, five species fall under the EN, nine under the VU, 16 under the NT of IUCN and 62 species fall under the appendices of CITES, including eight species in appendix I and 54 in appendix II. Results show that the Fars province shares the greatest number of bird species with the Palearctic region (364). The province lies within the West Palearctic faunal region and as expected, its bird fauna shares a greater number of species with the western Palaearctic than its eastern (346 versus 314). Our results also showed that the two other adjacent faunal regions including Oriental and Afrotropical have influence on its avifauna, and the province shares a greater number of species with the Oriental than to Afrotropical.

In this paper a batch of earthworms from Afghanistan was studied and previous reports on the earthworm fauna of the country were evaluated. In the present study, earthworms were collected by digging and hand sorting, and fixed in 80% ethanol. Six species belonging to three families were identified. They are Aporrectodea caliginosa, Ap. rosea, Eiseniella tetraedra, Drawida annandalei, Amynthas corticis, and Metaphire bahli. Among them A. corticis, Ap. caliginosa, D. annandalei, and M. bahli are new records for the country. Nine species have previously been reported from Afghanistan of which two were collected in the current survey as well. Therefore, this study in Afghanistan increased the number of earthworm species registered for the country from 9 to 13 belonging to nine genera and three families. Out of the 13 species, 10 (Ap. caliginosa, Ap. jassyensis, Ap. trapezoides, Ap. rosea, Bimastus parvus, Dendrobaena byblica, D. fedtschenkoi, Eisenia fetida, Eis. tetraedra, and Lumbricus rubellus) belong to the Holarctic family Lumbricidae, two species (M. bahli and A. corticis) to the family Megascolecidae, and one species (D. annandalei) to Moniligastridae. Most of the species (10) are peregrine and only three of the lumbricid species in Afghanistan are regarded as autochthonous, viz., Ap. jassyensis, D. byblica, and D. fedtschenkoi. The diversity and distribution of earthworms in Afghanistan is far from complete. To fill this gap in our knowledge on the earthworm fauna of the studied region more detailed investigations are needed to explore the earthworm fauna of this vast country.

Brittle stars are one of the most diverse classes of echinoderms distributed worldwide in marine habitats. In this study, brittle stars were sampled by hand from the intertidal zone of the Persian Gulf's western part to the Oman Sea, from locations accessible without the need of a boat or diving equipment. Sampling time was set in the first days of the lunar month or at least the time of the lowest tide in each day. The specimens were first immobilized in freshwater, then fixed in neutralized buffered formalin, and finally preserved in 70% ethanol after one week of fixation. Of 22 sampling points, seven localities yielded intertidal brittle stars (Macrophiothrix hirsuta cheneyi, Macrophiothrix elongata, and Ophiocoma scolopendrina) during the sampling period (December 2017–March 2018). Ophiocoma scolopendrina is reported for the first time from Dayyer and Nayband in the Persian Gulf. We also re-evaluated recently reported data on ophiuroids from the studied area.

This study aimed to find new species of cephalopods in the Iranian waters of the Gulf of Oman. Two species of Oegopsida (Abralia steindachneri Weindl, 1912 and Joubiniteuthis portieri (Joubin, 1916)) and also one species of Sepiida (Sepia omani Adam & Rees, 1966) were identified. Samples were collected in March and April 2019, using a Myctophidae trawler. To capture A. steindachneri a two-panel bottom trawl (codend mesh size (A) equal to 60 mm) was used, while for J. portieri and S. omani a four-panel midwater rope trawl (codend mesh size (A) equal to 90 mm) was applied. Taxonomic studied on these rare cephalopods, in this region, would be helpful for protecting their stocks as well as safely exploitation them.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the morphological changes and body shape variations of the Zagros Tooth-carp Aphanius vladykovi populations in six water bodies located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran. For this purpose, 240 specimens were collected from the Choghakhor and Gandoman wetlands, the Shalamzar, Balagholi, and Brovi springs, and the Beheshtabad River. Twelve landmark points were digitized on the right side of the fish. Statistical analyses including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA), and Cluster Analysis (CA) were performed using TPS package, SYSTAT 9, and PAST Software. Discriminant function analysis revealed that female fish in different localities show more pronounced body shape differences compared to males from different localities (p <0.001). In addition, in clustering analysis performed among males and among females, two clusters were resolved, which were fairly similar for males and females. These differences might be attributed to the morphological adaptation of the Zagros Tooth-carp to their habitats but a clear inference on the observed morphological divergence will be possible with more genetic, ecological, and experimental evidence.

The meiobenthic harpacticoids of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman has been almost unknown. During October 2014 to September 2016, interstitial and phytal harpacticoids were collected from tide pools in 30 different localities along the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The new information on the distribution of 26 species and 12 families is provided, here. The most species-rich family was Laophontidae with seven species, followed by Miraciidae with four species. In this paper, all the species were considered new records for the area. Furthermore, the first checklist of meiobenthic Harpacticoids is provided.
