We reviewed 2524 articles published from i.e. the ‘founder effect’ is very much in evidence. The ‘sleeping dragon’ of ignored marine biodiversity is 1987 to 1995 in five international journals, Conservation really symptomatic of a wider problem, and can Biology, Biological Conservation, Biodiversity and perhaps be referred to as a ‘hibernating hydra’ of many Conservation, Ecological Application...

Stipa richteriana and Galium songaricum are newly recorded species for the flora of Iran, collected from Binalood and Hezar-Masjed Mountains in Razavi Khorassan Province. The geographical distribution of both species is mainly confined to the Middle Asia. Morphological characters of two newly recorded species are compared with their close relatives. Notes on taxonomy, ecology, phytogeography, a...

"Habitat" is often used ambiguously in conservation biology and ecology to mean either the specific biotic and abiotic parts of the environment where an organism lives (e.g., the habitat of species x), or to describe a particular environment without reference to a specific species (e.g., the coastal dune habitat). Conservation legislation usually defines habitat as a function of the species, as...
