DNA barcoding has been suggested as a universal tool for molecular species identification; however, it cannot be applied in cases when morphologically similar species share their DNA barcodes due to the common ancestry or mitochondrial introgression. Here we analyze the karyotype of Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) morgani (Le Cerf, 1909) from the region of its type locality in the southern Zagros Mou...

Evaluation of Soil Moisture Changes Using the Balance Model in Zagros Oak Drying Forests (Case study: Melah Siah Forest - Ilam)

Silvicultural operation need to notice the plant species diversity in forest. To this study Gomarlang district in marivan region, northern zagros forest was selected. Selected 100 ha area because have similar physiography condition (north aspect and 1650 to 1800 m s.a.l. In study area 100 micro plots of 5m by 5 m (25 m2) including the species and the numbers of this species randomize...

The Effect of Different Levels Decline on Leaf and Seed Morphological Characteristics Quercus brantii Lindl. in the Zagros forests - Kermanshah Province

The Mawat ophiolite complex (MOC) is a part of the Zagros Suture Zone, which extends about 2000 km from southeastern Turkey through northern Syria and Iraq to western southern Iran. serpentinite rocks are exposed at Waras area near Betwat village. Serpentinite this have been studied assess their suitability for use as dimension stone. Ten samples were collected in establish physical mechanical ...

The Abu Jir fault zone in western Iraq that marks the limit of Zagros foreland basin merges with Anah graben north. northern segment and are inverted structures. In this study, we investigated timing mechanism inversion comparison other structures like Tel Hajar Sinjar, which located north closer to Arabia–Eurasia collision zone. study area is characterized by a local-scale northwestern-trendin...
