In this paper, which is the first contribution in the series devoted to the camel spiders of Iran, seven species from Kohgilouyeh and Boyer Ahmad Province are reported. The genus Gluviopsilla and two species; Gluviopsilla discolor (Kraepelin, 1899) (♀) and Paragaleodes nesterovi Birula, 1916 (♂♀) are new to the fauna of Iran, and five species Galeodes cf. krausi Harvey, 2002 (♂♀), Galeodes trichotichnus Roewer, 1934 (♂), Gylippus (Paragylippus) spinimanus Birula, 1905 (♀), Karschia (Karschia) persica Kraepelin, 1899 (♂) and Rhagodes caucasicus Birula, 1905 (♂♀) are new records for the province. Also, the females of P. nesterovi and G. cf. krausi are firstly recorded.

In this study, the adult cranial osteology of Trachylepis vittata and Lacerta media media collected from Kermanshah Province, western Iran, are described and compared based on seven dry skull preparations. Herein, variation patterns are considered in morphology of the cranial, elements of position in the skull structure and elements of connection together between the skull of two species in order to use in phylogenetic analyses and systematic studies. The skull roof, the palate, the mandible, the teeth within each of these two species discussed and compared. The obvious differences are as follows: A complete loss of any one bone was not discerned in the study of the skull of both species, but a obvious decrease was watched in the postorbital bones in T. vittata. Articulations of the jugal, the squamosal and the palatine in the various regions. The variations in form, size and position in bones such as: The nasal processes of the premaxilla, the parietal, the supraoccipital, otoccipital, the paraoccipital process, prearticular, the dentary.

New advances in molecular techniques are substantially reshaping our understanding of taxonomy. However, combining molecular and morphologic data is a prevailing trend towards integral taxonomy. In a genetic frame, two nominal species, Crocidura gmelini and C. suaveolens have recently been lumped into one species. This study aimed to evaluate this hypothesis morphologically. For this, 42 specimens from northern Iran classified either as C. gmelini or C. suaveolens were subjected to the geometric morphometrics analyses. Landmark based method on labial side of mandible along postcranial morphology showed profound resemblance, provide further supports for genetic results.

In this research on the Banded Skink, Trachylepis vittata (Olivier, 1804), the patterns of geographic variation was analyzed for four meristic and 21 morphometric characters of this species belonging to two populations, one from western Iran and the other from Turkey. The univariate analyses including Independent sample T-test and one-way ANOVA (LSD Test) were used to explore the patterns of geographic variation. Results of the analyses indicated significant differences and a relatively clear pattern of separation between the two studied populations of T. vittata.

Marine gastropod genus' Conus diversified rapidly during the Miocene includes the most species-rich modern marine genus. The aim of this study is an expanded molecular phylogenetic analysis and divergence time of two dominant cone snail species from the Persian Gulf. The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I sequence data of Conus coronatus and Conus frigidus species from the Persian Gulf were used to compare with the other Conus species in Viroconus and Virgoconus clades from the different regions. Moreover, divergence time of the Persian Gulf clusters was estimated from the substitution rate of the genome. Results showed, low differences between the Conus species of the Persian Gulf and Indo-Pacific, and divergence time of the Persian Gulf Conus species was about 2 million years ago. So, the Persian Gulf Conus species originated from the Indo-Pacific parallel to the geological events and after the Ice Age. Then, these species were transferred through the Indian Ocean to the Persian Gulf. These findings give use a knowledge of the origin and the evolution of these species in the Persian Gulf.

The mtDNA data presently being used for estimating biodiversity is not sufficient for evaluating the Motacilla alba complex species status. Because there is a lack of congruence between morphological and mtDNA data, there are debates about the best approach to use. In this study, we utilize niche modelling to study nine taxa of M. alba complex. Using eight bioclimatic- environmental layers, altitude, and slope MaxEnt modeling was applied to predict distributions. A total of 9087 input points for presence of species were also used. Results showed nine distinct ecological boundaries based on MaxEnt and ecological niche modeling (ENM) tools. The results provide some ecological variables for determining the ecological requirements and distribution patterns of the white wagtail species complex in the Palearctic region.

In this study, rodent’s assemblages from Jiroft and Anbarabad townships in the southeast Iran, were studied. A total of 62 specimens were collected and identified during the period of June 2011 until September, 2012. The collected specimens consist of 10 species belonging to 10 genera and three families including: Muridae (Golunda ellioti, Acomys dimidiatus, Tatera indica, Nesokia indica, Meriones persicus, Mus musculus, Apodemus witherbyi, Rattus rattus), Cricetidae (Cricetulus migratorius), Ochotonidae (Ochotona rufescens). Standard external morphological and morphometric characteristics, including cranial and dental characters are given. The family Muridae with eight species, showed the highest diversity among the families represented here. Tatera indica showed the high frequency compare to other species examined in this study. Golunda ellioti Gray, 1837 and Acomys dimidiatus Cretzschmar, 1826 (Muridae, Rodentia) areas are recorded for the first time from southeast of Iran.
