Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus (Acari: Ixodidae: Rhipicephalinae) are the most important ectoparasites and biological vector of pathogen agents. The taxonomy of some Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus species is more debatable. The traditional taxonomy of ticks have been revolutionized using polymerase chain reaction. The specificity, efficiency and accuracy of PCR is highly dependent on the oligonucleotide primers. In this study, five primers designed for amplification of a fragment ITS2 so-called TAH-1, TAH-2, TRH (for Hyalomma) and TAH-3, TAH-4 (for Rhipicephalus). Successfully, 24 and 29 ITS2 sample was sequenced using these primers. As well as, an ITS2 phylogenetic tree were constructed using BEAST basis on the Bayesian Inference (BI) method. The most Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus species well differentiated using ITS2 fragment since the designed primer fail to amplify gene target in few cases.

Five subspecies of the Persian Jird, Meriones persicus, were reported from Iran. These subspecies were described based on morphological characters and coat colors of few specimens. The question of the validity of these subspecies and their geographic distribution is raised. In this study, we combined genetic markers (Cox1, Cytb and IRBP genes), morphometric (external and skull measurments), morphologic (coloration), and karyotypic data to study intraspecific variation in M. persicus in the Iranian Plateau. Three distinct genetic lineages can be recognized in Iran (I, IIA, IIB), and these genetic lineages are separated by natural geographic barriers (Abarkooh, Central and Lut deserts). Our morphometric results also show significant differences between these three lineages, and emphasized morphometric variability within clade IIA, where two subgroups could be recognized. However one of these subgroup was represented by only two individuals in our analyses, and additional morphometric data are needed to confirm this result. Fur coloration vary greatly among Iranian specimens and does not seems to be a reliable taxonomic character. Variation in FNa and morphology of the sex chromosomes was observed between populations, but the determinants of this variation and its significance for taxonomy needs to be investigated. To conclude, this study suggest that three to four subspecies should probably be recognized in Iran, but additional data with more specimens are needed to confirm this result.

There are several papers related to the split of the genus Eumeces sensu lato into four distinct genera (Eumeces sensu stricto Wiegmann, 1834; Plestiodon Dum??ril & Bibron, 1839; Mesoscincus Griffith, Ngo & Murphy, 2000 and Eurylepis Blyth, 1854). From these, three important ones stand out. The genus has undergone extensive taxonomic changes. There was an initial morphologcial split which identified the correct four groups but failed to get the correct nomenclatures. These errors were later corrected. In a chronological order, Novoeumeces suggested as a new name for the schneiderii group and subsequently re-changed to the genus Eumeces s.s. North American-clade is now considered as Plestiodon. The name Eumeces (sensu stricto) was retained for the group close to the type species (Eumeces pavimentatus) which is part of the African-Central Asian clade. There are now only five species of Eumeces left. The others (old Eumeces) are now found in Eurylepis (2 species), Mesoscincus (3 species) and Plestiodon (47 species). A detailed story of these changes plus a brief comparison of current four genera based on mentioned morphological characters in the literatures are discussed in this paper.
有几篇论文是关于将Eumeces sensu lato划分为四个不同的属的(Eumeces sensu stricto Wiegmann, 1834;Plestiodon Dum ? ?ril & Bibron, 1839;Mesoscincus Griffith, Ngo & Murphy, 2000; Eurylepis Blyth, 1854)。在这些问题中，有三点很重要。该属在分类学上发生了广泛的变化。最初的形态分裂确定了正确的四个类群，但未能获得正确的命名。这些错误后来被纠正了。按照时间顺序，Novoeumeces被认为是schneiderii类群的新名称，随后被重新命名为Eumeces s.s。北美的进化枝现在被认为是Plestiodon。在非洲-中亚分支中，与模式种(铺路种)接近的类群保留了euumeces (sensu stricto)这个名称。现在只剩下五种尤米塞斯了。其他的(旧的euumeces)现在在Eurylepis(2种)，Mesoscincus(3种)和Plestiodon(47种)中被发现。本文对这些变化进行了详细的叙述，并根据文献中提到的形态特征对目前的四个属进行了简要的比较。

Sexual dimorphism in 45 ( 27 males, 18 females ) specimens of Trapelus ruderatus ruderatus was studied in specimens collected from three localities: Bahr AL-Najaf, AL-Najaf Province; Albedhan village, Said dekheel county, Dhi-Qar Province and Khor AL-Zubair, AL-Basra Province, southern Iraq. Of 23 studied characters in males and females, statistical analysis using SPSS software version 20.00 showed significant differences in 11, out of 23, characters (male-biased): SVL, TL, HW, HH, DCC, RP, NP, CT, VL, AbnL and LHS. In comparison to females, males had different color pattern, much darker and more developed gular folds and darker ventral regions.

Artemia has been recorded in thalassohaline and athalassohaline saline habitats from all over the world (Persoone & Sorgeloos, 1980) and is widely used in aquaculture as a food source for crustaceans and fish (Leger et al., 1986). The occurrence of wild Artemia populations from 17 hypersaline environments such as saline lakes, lagoons and salty rivers, distributed over 12 provinces in Iran were previously reported (Abatzopoulos et al., 2006) We added parthenogenetic Artemia from Bazangan lake as 18th natural habitat in the country (Fig. 1). All Iranian Artemia populations are parthenogenetic except one bisexual population namely Artemia urmiana from Urmia Lake (Agh, 2006). The historical record of existence of Artemia dates back to 982, more than one thousand years ago, from Urmia Lake, by an unknown Iranian geographer (Asem, 2008).The parthenogenesis populations have been reported from Lagoons around Urmia Lake, Urmia and Fesendooz, West Azerbaijan province; Lagoons around Urmia Lake Dasht-E-Tabriz, East Azerbaijan province; Maharlu Lake Shiraz, Bakhtegan Lake Shiraz and Tashk Lake Shiraz, Fars province; Incheh Lake Gonbad and Shor Lake Gonbad, Golestan province; Varmal catchment Zabul, Sistan and Baluchestan province; Mighan Lake Arak, Central province; Qom Salt Lake Qom and Houze Sultan Lake Qom, Qom province; Gaav Khooni Lake Hasan Abad, Isfahan province; Kale Shoor Gonabad, Razavi Khorasan province; Kale Shoor Khorram Abad, Lorestan province; Nough Kerman, Kerman province; Shurabil Lake (extinct) Ardabil, Ardabil province; Kale Shoor Hashtgerd Karaj, Alborz province (Agh, 2006; Abatzopoulos et al., 2006). Several studies have been done about the geology, biology and ecology of Bazangan Lake (Adabi & Mohammadzadeh, 1998; Khoshbakht, 1998 & Gholami et al., 2007). Bazangan Lake is located at N 36°18.48', E 060°28.53' between Mashhad and Sarakhs in north east of Iran (Fig. 1). Its surface area is 690,000 m(69 hectare), altitude 860 m and maximum depth 12 m in high water years (Gholami et al., 2007; Behroozi Rad, 2007). Bazangan wetland is an important habitat for birds, especially as a nesting site for some native and migrating species (Behroozi Rad, 2007). Artemia is the major food source for these species. During a regularly annual sampling, the brine shrimp Artemia was observed for the first time in Bazangan Lake and some water characteristics were also recorded for environmental monitoring. Plankton net (100 μm mesh size) was towed through the water for sampling cyst and adult Artemia in November 2015.

蒿属植物在世界各地的海盐和海盐盐生境中都有记录(personone & Sorgeloos, 1980)，作为甲壳类动物和鱼类的食物来源，被广泛用于水产养殖(Leger et al.， 1986)。以前曾报道过分布在伊朗12个省的17个高盐环境(如盐湖、泻湖和含盐河流)中存在野生青蒿种群(Abatzopoulos等，2006)。我们将来自巴赞甘湖的单性繁殖的青蒿添加到该国的第18个自然栖息地(图1)。除了一个双性恋种群，即来自乌尔米亚湖的乌尔米亚蒿(Agh, 2006)，所有伊朗的青蒿种群都是单性繁殖的。关于阿尔忒弥亚存在的历史记载可以追溯到公元982年，距今一千多年前，由一位不知名的伊朗地理学家在乌尔米娅湖记载(Asem, 2008)。据报道，在西阿塞拜疆省乌尔米亚和费森多兹乌尔米亚湖周围的泻湖有孤雌生殖种群;东阿塞拜疆省达什特- e -大不里士乌尔米亚湖周围的泻湖;法尔斯省的Maharlu Shiraz湖、Bakhtegan Shiraz湖和Tashk Shiraz湖;戈勒斯坦省的贡巴德湖和贡巴德湖;扎布尔、锡斯坦和俾路支斯坦省的Varmal集水区;中部省份阿拉克湖;库姆省库姆盐湖库姆和Houze苏丹湖库姆;伊斯法罕省Hasan Abad的Gaav Khooni湖;拉扎维呼罗珊省的卡纳巴德的Kale Shoor Gonabad;Kale Shoor Khorram Abad, Lorestan省;足够的克尔曼，克尔曼省;舒拉比尔湖(已灭绝)，阿达比尔省;Kale Shoor Hashtgerd Karaj, Alborz省(Agh, 2006;Abatzopoulos et al.， 2006)。对巴赞干湖的地质、生物和生态进行了一些研究(Adabi & Mohammadzadeh, 1998;Khoshbakht, 1998; Gholami et al.， 2007)。巴赞干湖位于伊朗东北部马什哈德和萨拉克斯之间的北纬36°18.48′，东经060°28.53′(图1)。其表面积为69万米(69公顷)，海拔860米，高水位年最大深度12米(Gholami et al.， 2007;Behroozi Rad, 2007)。巴赞干湿地是鸟类的重要栖息地，特别是作为一些本地和迁徙物种的筑巢地(Behroozi Rad, 2007)。青蒿是这些物种的主要食物来源。在每年定期采样期间，首次在巴赞干湖观测到卤虾，并记录了一些水体特征，用于环境监测。2015年11月，在水中拖曳浮游生物网(100 μm目)采集囊藻和成虫。用目测法仔细记录了青蒿种群中雄性的存在或缺失。用SID公司的HANNA HI 98129袖珍万用表组合档案仪测定水的物理化学特性，如温度、TDS、pH和电导率

Fooladi","doi":"10.22067/IJAB.V11I2.52157","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22067/IJAB.V11I2.52157","url":null,"abstract":"Artemia has been recorded in thalassohaline and athalassohaline saline habitats from all over the world (Persoone & Sorgeloos, 1980) and is widely used in aquaculture as a food source for crustaceans and fish (Leger et al., 1986). The occurrence of wild Artemia populations from 17 hypersaline environments such as saline lakes, lagoons and salty rivers, distributed over 12 provinces in Iran were previously reported (Abatzopoulos et al., 2006) We added parthenogenetic Artemia from Bazangan lake as 18th natural habitat in the country (Fig. 1). All Iranian Artemia populations are parthenogenetic except one bisexual population namely Artemia urmiana from Urmia Lake (Agh, 2006). The historical record of existence of Artemia dates back to 982, more than one thousand years ago, from Urmia Lake, by an unknown Iranian geographer (Asem, 2008).The parthenogenesis populations have been reported from Lagoons around Urmia Lake, Urmia and Fesendooz, West Azerbaijan province; Lagoons around Urmia Lake Dasht-E-Tabriz, East Azerbaijan province; Maharlu Lake Shiraz, Bakhtegan Lake Shiraz and Tashk Lake Shiraz, Fars province; Incheh Lake Gonbad and Shor Lake Gonbad, Golestan province; Varmal catchment Zabul, Sistan and Baluchestan province; Mighan Lake Arak, Central province; Qom Salt Lake Qom and Houze Sultan Lake Qom, Qom province; Gaav Khooni Lake Hasan Abad, Isfahan province; Kale Shoor Gonabad, Razavi Khorasan province; Kale Shoor Khorram Abad, Lorestan province; Nough Kerman, Kerman province; Shurabil Lake (extinct) Ardabil, Ardabil province; Kale Shoor Hashtgerd Karaj, Alborz province (Agh, 2006; Abatzopoulos et al., 2006). Several studies have been done about the geology, biology and ecology of Bazangan Lake (Adabi & Mohammadzadeh, 1998; Khoshbakht, 1998 & Gholami et al., 2007). Bazangan Lake is located at N 36°18.48', E 060°28.53' between Mashhad and Sarakhs in north east of Iran (Fig. 1). Its surface area is 690,000 m(69 hectare), altitude 860 m and maximum depth 12 m in high water years (Gholami et al., 2007; Behroozi Rad, 2007). Bazangan wetland is an important habitat for birds, especially as a nesting site for some native and migrating species (Behroozi Rad, 2007). Artemia is the major food source for these species. During a regularly annual sampling, the brine shrimp Artemia was observed for the first time in Bazangan Lake and some water characteristics were also recorded for environmental monitoring. Plankton net (100 μm mesh size) was towed through the water for sampling cyst and adult Artemia in November 2015. The presence or absences of males were carefully recorded with visual inspection in Artemia population.
