RISOut of Africa: biogeographic history of the open-habitat chats (Aves, Muscicapidae: Saxicolinae) across arid areas of the old world
strong ecological and evolutionary
consequences and not only led to fragmentation of moist-adapted biota, but also fostered
the evolution of arid-adapted taxa from mesic ancestors and triggered speciation within arid
areas. The open-habitat...
Land Use and Land Cover Change in Protected Areas: Using Remote Sensing to Survey Suitable Habitats of Brown Bear Ursus arctos
In recent years, brown bear Ursus arctos populations in Iran have experienced a clear trend of reduction and the species is now officially listed as threatened under provincial legislation. Anthropogenic habitat alteration and increasing human...

Habitat requirements of the Black Woodpecker, Dryocopus martius, in Hyrcanian forests, Iran (Aves: Picidae )
The relationships between the Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius (Linnaeus, 1758)) abundance and forest characteristics and the role of coarse woody debris for habitat selection were assessed. One hundred point counts were conducted 250 m apart...

Relationships between morphological traits, behavioural characteristics, and habitat selection in Iranian Wheatears using Fourth-Corner Problem analysis
Ecological segregation in the Wheatear genus Oenanthe is a
complex and intriguing question. Here we studied habitat variables,
behavioural characteristics and morphological traits of 11
Wheatear species that are distributed...
