one section of the tarbur formation (462 m thickness) located about 5 km southwest of semirom was studied. it consists of carbonate and terrigenous rocks and contains abundant large benthic foraminifera assigned to the late maastrichtian. in the upper maastrichtian, loftusia is very abundant in carbonate sequence of the middle east tethyan realm. loftusia is an important genus for palaeontologi...

killifish (aphanius sophiae) of the cheshme-ali of damghan and shour river of eshteherd were studied and compared from morphological point of view. for morphometric studies, 34 truss morphometric measurements and  10 traditional  measurements  were made for each individual. nine meristic traits were counted. multi-variate analysis of variance (manova) revealed a significant different between va...

watershed is regarded as a very complex system of natural, social, economic and ecological dimensions and like any similar systems, exploitation of its resources requires a comprehensive and coordinated planning and management. given the importance of watershed management projects for the development and management of natural resources, the enhancement of the efficiency of these activities is e...

 Traditional morphometric measurements and meristic counts were used to investigate the hypothesis of population fragmentation of Mash mahi, Aspius aspius taeniatus (Eichwald, 1831) among two fishing areas in southern Caspian Sea basin(Tonekabon:32 specimens  and Sari:34 specimens ). Univariate analysis of variance showed significant differences between the means of the two groups for 12 out of...

In this study, by examining the character of the morphometric and meristic in which Cyprinion macrostomus samples obtained from different locality in Tigris, morphometric character which are transformed subject to discriminant analysis and depending on grouping model to number of discriminant functions and according to importance of these totally variance, morphogical variance among populations...
