This article lists 99 articles on distribution of wild birds in Iran, which appeared

between 1876 and 1977 and which were published by authors writing in European

languages. Each paper has a reference number ...

The incidence of hybridisation in birds differs

greatly between orders and is expected to be low in orders

comprising few species. The divers or loons (Gaviiformes)

are a species-poor group in which ...

In the study of diversity patterns, the Mid-domain effect (MDE),

which explains gradients in diversity solely on the basis of geometric

constraints, has emerged as a null-model against which

other ...

We used measurements of museum skins to assess morphological differences between

the 22 currently recognized species of wheatear and to identify correlations between

morphological features, behavioural traits ...

We tested a geometric constraint model, the mid domain effect (MDE), as an explanation for spatial gradient in species richness of Palearctic songbirds. A data set was created of digitized equal area distribution maps of ...

Explanation of the spatial distribution patterns in species

richness, and especially those of small-ranged species (endemics),

bears relevance for studies on evolution and speciation,

as well as for ...
