First record of Zarudny’s Jird, Meriones zarudnyi Heptner, 1937 (Rodentia: Muridae) in Shirvan, Northeast Iran
Biosystematic approach to geographic variations of house mouse group, Mus musculus L.1766
The matrix of qualitative and quantitative data compiled from comparative measures ofrn14 dental and skull morphology and 17 dentally variable morphometric characters takenrnfrom samples of 18 populations of house mouse, ...
Morphological comparison of fourteen species of the genus Meriones Illiger, 1811 (Rodentia: Gerbillinae) from Asia and North Africa
Genus Meriones is the dominant member of gerbils in the Palaearctic region, particularly inrnaride region of Asia. This is also one of the most typical genus of subfamily Gerbillinaernwith about 17 morphospecies namely: ...
New Records of Naked-footed Gerbil Gerbillus nanus and Pygmy Gerbil Gerbillus cfr. henleyi (Rodentia, Muridae) from Iran
Gerbillus nanus is a highly polytypic species exhibiting considerable geographical variation, both in external and cranial characters. In the present study, specimens were collected from different localities in the ...
Contemporary and sub-fossil house mice (Mus musculus Linnaeus, 1758) (Rodentia: Muridae) from Iran
The house mouse (Mus musculus) is a polytypic species, with its geographic distribution largely the result of human migrations during the Late Glacial and Holocene. This study used geometric morphometry (GM) on upper and ...
New species of three-toed jerboa (Dipodidae, Rodentia) from the deserts of Khorasan province, Iran
The present study introduces, for the first time, the black tail tip three-toed jerboa from the east of the Iranian Plateau. This new species is different from itsrnsympatric species, Jaculus blanfordi, considering the ...
Geometric morphometric study of two species of the psammophilous genus Erodiontes (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from the Lute desert, Central Iran
A geometric morphometric study of the genus Erodiontes was carried out using the Elliptic Fourier method to demonstrate the effect of vicariance on populations of these psammophilous species. Four populations of Erodiontes, ...
A preliminary study on Indian Gerbils, Tatera indica Hardwicke, 1807 at population level in eastern and southern parts of Iran (Rodentia: Muridae)
There is little known about the systematics and population structure of Indian gerbils (Tatera indica) in Iran. In the present study six populations of T.indica from different localities of Iran were compared according to ...
Genetic Study on Apodemus avicennicus and Apodemus witherbyi by RAPD-PCR
Recently, some specimens of genus Apodemus were found from Shirkooh Mountains of central plateau of Iran. In order to certify morphologic and morphometric studies, a study has been carried out on the genome of these specimens ...
