the grape erineum mite (gem), colomerus vitis (pagenstecher) (acari: eriophyidae) is considered to be one of the most important pests, that sometimes causes irreversible damages to grapevine cultivars in western parts of iran. studies were carried out in order to find natural enemies associated with gem, during 2011-2013. results indicated that natural enemies included two species of predatory ...

objective: ecosystems with mixed species compared to the ones with pure compositions provide a broader range of options in the fields of biodiversity, conservation, protection and restoration. nearly all forest plantations are established as monocultures, but research has shown that there are potential advantages to be gained by using carefully designed species mixtures in place of monocultures...

according to the increased fungi contaminations and related damages, microbiologist's incentive in considering the fungal contaminations in human habitats had increased. some of fungi cause disease through production of toxins in animals as well as humans. since these toxins are not easily distinguishable, then it is crucial to study their characteristics. aspergillus are among the most importa...

results seminal plasma tac level in normospermic men was significantly higher than asthenoteratospermic men (p < 0.001) and oligasthenoteratospermic men (p < 0.001) and had posetive correlation with sperm count, motility and morphology. in contrast mda levels in normospermic men were significantly lower than in asthenoteratospermic men (p = 0.049) and oligoasthenoteratospermic men (p = 0.001) a...

this paper provides information on the geographic distributions of two cyprinid species: hemiculter leucisculus (basilewsky, 1855) and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843, in the world and the entire drainage systems in iran. the new distribution records were taken from maroon river (jarrahi river system) and chardaval river (karkheh river system), both in tigris river basin showing wide and narrow...

recognizing the herbaceous plant species diversity could use as an importantindicator applied for the rangeland and forests management. considering the presence ofvegetation and animal husbandry in zagros region, iran, being aware of the diversity andrichness of plant species is necessary to management or the destructed vegetationrestoration. in order to study the effect of aspect and elevation...
