In this study marine sponges of inter tidal zone from Hengam Island Persian Gulf were collected by wading at low tides in Eskeleh station at  locations 55˚ 53ʹ 40ʺ E & 26˚ 40ʹ 53ʺ N.For identifying identification of sponge samples, acid digestion method as a method of early detection and microtome section to identify the skeletal structure were used.All the identified sponges were from class De...

Assemblage-level phylogenies carry the signature of ecological and evolutionary processes, which may provide useful information on modes of assemblage formation. We present a global-scale analysis of the emergent phylogenetic properties of mammal assemblages on islands, in which we compared the structure of 595 island assemblages with null models constructed under four alternative definitions o...

The relationship between species number and island area is a fundamental rule in ecology. However, the extent to which interactions with exotic species and how the structure of species interactions is related to island area remain unexplored. Here, I document the relationship between island area and (i) interactions with exotic species and (ii) network structure of species interactions in the c...

The present paper aims at describing the most relevant background data on geomorphological, economic, ethnohistoric and demographic features of the island of Rab. They show the most important population movements to the island that affected its population structure. This work, as a part of the holistic anthropological research of morphological, physiological, genetic and socio-cultural variable...
