Biogeographic Patterns of Iranian Lepidoptera: A Framework for Conservation Open
Aim The contact zone of three zoogeographic realms, the Palearctic, Saharo‐Arabian and Oriental, is an evolutionary cradle of high species richness and endemism in Iran. In this study, we investigate statistically inferred bioregions of Le…

Patterns of Zoological Diversity in Iran—A Review Open
Iran is a country characterized by high biodiversity and complex biogeographic patterns. Its diverse landscape and steep climatic gradients have resulted in significant faunal diversity and high level of endemism. To better understand thes…

An integrative framework for dark taxa biodiversity assessment at scale: A case study using <i>Megaselia</i> (Diptera, Phoridae) Open
Species extinctions increase at a global scale; therefore, rapid inventorying of our planet's biodiversity is becoming more and more important. As insects represent the highest portion of the fauna and play key ecological roles, it is a pr…

Extensive mismatch between protected areas and biodiversity hotspots of Iranian Lepidoptera Open
Amidst the era of rapid decline in insect diversity, the role of protected areas (PAs) in conserving current insect diversity is more significant than ever. Previous studies indicate that the species‐diverse regions in Iran fall within two…

A window to the future: effects of climate change on the distribution patterns of Iranian Zygaenidae and their host plants Open
Climate change has been suggested as an important human-induced driver for the ongoing sixth mass extinction. As a common response to climate change, and particularly global warming, species move toward higher latitudes or shift uphill. Fu…

New estimates of genome size in Orthoptera and their evolutionary implications Open
Animal genomes vary widely in size, and much of their architecture and content remains poorly understood. Even among related groups, such as orders of insects, genomes may vary in size by orders of magnitude–for reasons unknown. The larges…

Global Size Pattern in a Group of Important Ecological Indicators (Diptera, Chironomidae) Is Driven by Latitudinal Temperature Gradients Open
Size is one of the most outwardly obvious characteristics of animals, determined by multiple phylogenetic and environmental variables. Numerous hypotheses have been suggested to explain the relationship between the body size of animals and…

Biodiversity modelling reveals a significant gap between diversity hotspots and protected areas for Iranian reptiles Open
The global struggle to conserve as many species as possible with limited resources requires an improvement of our knowledge on the distribution of biodiversity. In Iran, the state of knowledge is poor for most groups of organisms, except f…

Modern and fossil insects body size as a possible proxy to understand environments of the past Open
<p>The fossil records of Insects is quite rich and abundant, telling a story of the group&#8217;s rise through the Paleozoic, with the subsequent conquest of sea, land, freshwater and finally, for the first time in history of ani…
