The major vectors in the region are Anopheles dirus, An. minimus, An. maculatus and An. sundaicus, of which An. dirus is the most important.

Conomyrma Forcl and all its species were considered to belong in Dorjrm?mex Santschi, until Kusnezov (1952) separated the two genera, Dorymyrmex and Conotnyrtna. He further divided Conomyrrna into two subgenera, Biconomyrma Kusnezov and Conotnyrnta. Although these subgenera subsequently were elevated to generic status by Kusnezov (1 959), Biconot?lyrtna was later synonymized with Conotnyrrna by...

The effect of environmental factors on the location of ancient sites around the ancient northern lakes of the desert plain (Holocene)

Introduction Site selection of human habitats in pre-historic times, unlike the current periods, has been strongly influenced by natural factors. Studies may be focused on three areas including paleoclimate, paleogeomorphology and archeology in order to identify environmental factors affecting primary habitats. Based on studies, most of the ancient lakes in central Iran were formed during the Q...
