Article
The Zagros Mountains, characterized by complex topography and three large drainage systems, harbor the endemic freshwater crab Potamon persicum in Iran. Our study delves into the evolutionary history of P. persicum, utilizing two mitochondrial and one nuclear marker. We collected 214 specimens from 24 localities, identifying 21 haplotypes grouped i...
Article
The House Mouse, Mus musculus, is a model organism that has greatly contributed to evolutionary research. Despite its significance, there remain gaps in our understanding of its phylogeography and population genetic structure in Asian regions. This comprehensive study aims to elucidate the evolutionary history, genetic diversity, and distribution p...

The freshwater crab Potamon persicum Pretzmann, 1962 in Iran is distributed along the western Alborz Mountains, its range extending southeast through the whole Zagros Mountains. We expected a high geographic differentiation within Potamon persicum between the main drainage systems in the region (Khalij Fars-Oman, Markazi and Urmia basins). To test...
Article
The family Muridae represents the largest, most diverse and successful of all groups of mammals. Here we infer the phylogenetic relationships and historical biogeography for the Iranian murid rodents, which consist in twelve species distributed in three subfamilies and seven genera. Molecular dating analyses using a relaxed Bayesian molecular clock...

This study investigates the genetic diversity and phylogeographic structure of lion populations (Panthera leo) across Africa and Asia, revealing significant insights into their evolutionary history. Our analysis identifies two primary clades: the North Clade comprising Asian and northern African populations identified as Panthera leo leo, and the S...

Global climate change poses unprecedented challenges to biodiversity, prompting urgent investigations into its effects on various species. This study focuses on Mus musculus , a small rodent species and a crucial indicator of ecosystem health. Spanning from the last glacial maximum to the end of the 21 st century, employed Species Distribution Mode...

Golunda ellioti Gray, 1837 is an herbivorous monotypic murine with discontinues distribution from Iran in the west up to India in the east. In this study 11 specimens from four localities in southern Iran (Kerman province), were examined based on morphology, karyology and molecular data. Molecular analyses confirmed the position of the genus Golund...

In this study, rodent's assemblages from Jiroft and Anbarabad townships in the southeast Iran, were studied. A total of 54 specimens were collected and identified during the period of June 2011 until September, 2012. The collected specimens consist of 9 species belonging to 9 genera and two families including: Muridae (Golunda ellioti, Acomys dimid...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are single-nucleotide substitutions of one base for another that occur in more than one percent of the general population. Variations in DNA sequence can have a major impact on how humans respond to disease; environmental factors such as bacteria, viruses, toxins, and chemicals; and drugs and other therapies....
