Predatory birds feed mainly on small mammals. They usually swallow their prey and after digesting, the indigestible fur, bones and teeth are regurgitated as compact pellets. The investigation of pellet is an extremely valuable tool for mammalogists. In this study 351 pellets have been collected from the localities including north of khorasan, Zanjan, Yazd, Chahar Mahal va Bakhtiyari and Mazandaran Provinces, Iran. Results have revealed the most of pellets contain mainly the members of five families of rodents including Muridae, Dipodidae, Cricetidae, Sciuridae and Calomysidae, respectively. Although it is evident that dental morphology is a valuable tool to recognition the most genera, it is not enough for the specific identification in some cases such as Meriones and Microtus. Therefore, it would be essential employing additional approaches such as neontology and morphometrics geometric.

A faunistic review is given on the Iranian medically important spiders of two genera Loxosceles and Latrodectus. Latrodectus cinctus Blackwall, 1865 is reported for the first time from Iran (and for the second time from Asia) and is replaced with the previous erroneous reports of L. hasseltii Thorell, 1870. The following species are reported for the first time from the listed provinces: Loxosceles rufescens (Dufour, 1820) (Fars and Hormozgan), L. dahli Levi, 1959 (Hormozgan), L. pallidus O.P.-Cambridge, 1872 (Alborz and Semnan) and L. tredecimguttatus (Rossi, 1790) (Alborz, Qom, Semnan and Tehran).

This study describes the influences of variations in life history traits and developmental patterns of Pelophylax ridibunda. The causes of this variation were investigated by comparing observed patterns of interpopulational differences from geographic variables. The aim of the study was to investigate whether embryos and larvae from different populations of P. ridibunda show the same pattern of development when they are reared in the same conditions in the laboratory and to find out further whether if any differences appearing in the pattern among populations is environmentaly or geneticaly based. Egg masses of P. ridibunda were collected from four sites in Fars Province, Iran and reared in the same conditions. Samples from most of the developmental stages were fixed and clutch parameters were measured at early developmental stages. Morphological characters in embryos and larvae including egg diameter, growing size of embryos and larvae at different stages, external gill, cement gland and mouth parts structures were examined with light and scanning electron microscopy. Statistical analysis showed that the mean diameter of eggs and jelly coats were significantly different (p<0.05) from each other in all four populations. In addition, variation among sites in developmental stage at age of embryos and larvae were found. The results also showed at least three different types of dental formula, two main branches of external gill on each side, and type A cement gland developmental pattern among the populations. Our data suggest that local adaptation may be responsible for life history, and morphometric and morphological variations among eggs, embryos and larvae of P. ridibunda. Further study is needed to quantify the relative contributions of the genotype and the environment to embryo and tadpole morphology and to assess the adaptive significance of morphological differences.

Two species of the family Colubridae were compared based on cranial osteology. The specimens were from Kermanshah province (2010–2012). We compared the skulls of the two species and distinguished their differences. According to our study, eight elements of the skull are clearly different between the two species. These differences are speculated to relate to different diets, prey size or concluded from an evolutionary processes to adapt especial conditions or competition with other sympatric species. Differences and characteristics of the above species help to facilitate their identification and evaluate phylogenetic studies in relation to skull morphology.

The northwest Iran comprises parts of two major biodiversity hotspots; Irano-Anatoli and Caucasus. It is a mountainous transition realm between Caucasus forest in the north, Pontic forest of Turkey in the west and central deserts of Iranian Plateau. This study was designed to determine rodent diversity in northwest Iran. Moreover, corridor and barrier features of the region were investigated, as well. The samplings were done in different localities of northwestern Iran. In addition, all specimens of the Zoology Museum of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (ZMFUM) attributed to the region were denoted. The study shows that the specimens belong to 18 nominal forms attributing to 5 families: Muridae (Apodemus witherbyi, Mus musculus domesticus, Mus macedonicus, Meriones persicus rossicus, M. libycus erythrourus, M. vinogradovi and M. tristrami bogdanovi), Gliridae (Dryomys nitedula pictus), Cricetidae (Microtus socialis, M. obscurus, M. qazvinensis, Chionomys nivalis trialeticus, Arvicola amphibious persicus, Ellobius lutescens lutescens, Cricetulus migratorius pulcher and Mesocricetus brandti brandti), Dipodidae (Allactaga williamsi schmidti) and Calomyscidae (Calomyscus urartensis).

We studied 1038bp of cytochrome b gene for social voles from three localities in Iran. The new sequences were compared with the previous published data correspond to eight species of social voles. Our results indicated that new material from west of Iran belong to the two species; Microtus socialis and M. irani karamani . This finding led to prove more knowledge about the Iranian vole distribution rang in Iran, and showed that west part of Iran is occupied with three social voles; M. socialis , M. qazvinensis that already have been documented, and M. irani karamani that is a new addition record for Iran.
