the relationship between some habitat factors and fish assemblage was analyzed in the taleghan river, alborz province, iran. fish specimens from thirty-three sites were sampled by electrofishing device in october 2014. the habitat parameters, including elevation (m), water depth (cm), river width (m), river slope (%), current velocity (m.s-1), number of large stone (> 15 cm), average stone diam...

terfezia, picoa and tirmania, so called desert truffles, are mycorrhizal fungi mostly endemic to arid and semi-arid areas of the mediterranean region, where they are associated with helianthemum and carexspecies. the aim of this work was to study the identification, molecular analysis, distribution and hosts of these pezizalean hypogeous fungi in iran. among the specimens, terfezia claveryi, ti...

The distribution of macroinvertebrate communities from 5 sampling sites of the Tajan River were used to examine the relationship among physiochemical parameters with macroinvertebrate communities and also to assess ecological classification system as a tool for the management and conservation purposes. The amount of variation explained in macroinvertebrate taxa composition is within values r...

Yeasts are a polyphyletic group of ascomycete and basidiomycete fungi characterized by having a unicellular growth phase and sexual stages that are not enclosed in fruiting bodies. An attempt was made to identify yeast species in uncultivated soils collected from different areas of Kermanshah province, Iran, by analyzing hypervariable D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rDNA gene sequencean...

Reforestation is one of the Philippines’ government efforts to restore and rehabilitate degraded mangrove ecosystems. Although there is recovery of the ecosystem in terms of vegetation, the recovery of closely-linked faunal species in terms of community structure is still understudied. This research investigates the community structure of mangrove crabs under two different management schemes: p...
