  The trace fossil assemblages from the Unit 2 of Deh-Sufiyan Formation are described for the first time from The Central Alborz Range of northern Iran,  improving the record of the assemblages in the Cambrian of the Middle East. Twenty-one ichnogenera have been identified in the Deh-Sufiyan Formation, namely Arenicolites, Bergaueria, Chondrites, Circulichnus, Cruziana, Diplichnites, Didymaulichnus, Diplocraterion, Halopoa, Helminthopsis, Gordia, Gyrophyllites, Lockeia, Monomorphichnus, Palaeophycus, Phycosiphon, Planolites, Rosselia, Rusophycus, Skolithos, and Treptichnus. Characteristics of the facies, lateral and vertical relations between these facies,  associational types of the facies and the depositional profile of the shelf transect  examined show deposition on a wave-dominated carbonate ramp. Integration of ichnologic data with sedimentologic information supports a  firm interpretation of the depositional systems and their evolution. Ethological grouping of the trace fossils resulted from the physico-chemical depositional constraints which defines the proximal-distal ichnofacies gradient pattern of the wave-dominated successions of the Deh-Sufiyan ramp. Considering the obvious deepening of the shallow marine depositional systems of wave-dominated parts of the carbonate ramp, the succession of archetypal ichnofacies can  display a bathymetric trend from deeper to shallower parts, and from lower-to-higher hydrodynamic conditions, from the  bottom to the top of the Unit 2 of the Deh-Sufiyan Formation. The identification and interpretation of the archetypal ichnofacies are  employed to further refine the sedimentary interpretations of parameters such as wave energy, substrate properties, nature of available food supply, salinity, dissolved oxygen content, and variability in sedimentation rates.

  Considering the economic value of fish belong to Cyprinidae family, and the importance of ecology in the exploitation of marine resources, diversity identification of whitefish (Rutilus frisii kutum) was conducted in the Sefidrud, Karganroud, Anzali lagoon, Chamkhaleh and Chelvand estuaries in Gilan province. For this purpose, 30 fish were collected from each river. After measuring thirteen morphometric and 9 meristic characters,the mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum sizes, and coefficient of variation of all studied parameters in each river were calculated. The obtained data were analyzed by ANOVA, and the groups were compared by Tukey test. Average of the morphometric characters in the rivers was 7.4, 10.06, 10.46, 12.36 and 12.75 percent, respectively. Due to significant difference (P <0.01) in the mean of studied parameters and high coefficient of variation among five rivers, the whitefish were different. The average of coefficient of variation in most morphological traits increased from western estuaries to eastern one, and the difference of traits is proportional to estuaries distance. Sefidrood showed the highest differences in morphometric traits and the lowest one was observed in Chelvand. The average of coefficient of variation of nine meristic traits in above rivers was 6.56, 6.48, 6.36, 6.36 and 11.5% respectively, and seven of them have no significant difference. The results showed that independent’s of spring whitefish are in the studied rivers , but due to the low mean coefficient of variation in the meristic characters of them, probably the environment has been effective in the population’s diversity.

  The genus Delphinium belongs to the Delphinieae tribe and Ranunculaceae family; in Iran according to flora Iranica has 29 species with zygomorphic flower. In this study, the morphological information of flower and spur in Delphinium species was studied to determine the importance of these characters in identifying species of this genus. Inflorescence condition, flower color, sepal flower, the color of sepals and petals comparative to each other, spur shape, spur curvature and spur tip were investigated. Statical analysis was conducted by SPSS software and cluster analysis was performed by Average linkage method. The results showed that flower color is one of the important traits in identifying Iranian Delphinium species, so that these genera are divided into two groups of yellow and non-yellow flower. Also, shape and spur curvature can differ from cylindrical, attenuate and inflatum. However, these character don’t correlate with distribution and the area where plant is grown. D. saniculifolium has a inflatum spur among specimens. Herbarium image of flower in different species are presented. Manuscript profile

  Introduction: Tamarix is the largest genus in the family Tamaricaceae with about 54 species.Taxonomically due to interspecific hybridization the number of Tamarix species in the world and in Iran is discussed.Aim: the purpose of this research study of Taxonomic and morphological diversity of 51 samples of 10  species are related to different regions of Iran.Materials and methods: 9 Characters (4 quantitative, 5 qualitative) of the morphological structure of vegetative and reproductive organs of the species were studied and statistical analysis was performed. Such as the characteristics of the number of petals, the number of sepals, number of stamen rows, outer sepal, inner sepal, external sepal tip shape, ttachment of stamen to lobe, bracte length relative to calyx length, number of stamen They are one of the prominent morphological features of this genus. PCA showed the most variance in two main components.Results: PCA biplot was drawn to show the most variable traits in morphological studies. Also, clustering method were drawn in morphological studies to show the separation of boundary between species. The borders of all species were separated by the mentioned morphological traits and only boundary of T. karakalensis, T. korolkowii, T. ramosissima were not separated due to overlap in bracte length relative to calyx length character.The information obtained is consistent with the results of molecular studies with the SCoT marker previously performed.Conclusion: The present study indicates the presence of morphological diversity in species and even between individuals of species in Iran. It also showed that morphological traits with molecular studies are effective in determining the boundary of species Manuscript profile

  The genus Rubus L. belongs to the genus Rosaceae. This genus includes more than 750 species in the world. Among some species of this genus such as R. dolichocarpus Juz. And R. ochthodes Juz. Morphological similarity is observed in traits such as the number of leaflets, the shape of the earrings and the color and shape of the petals, which makes it difficult to identify these two closely related species. The species R. dolichocarpus in the flora of Iran is declared synonymous with the species R. ochthodes, while these two species in the flora of Iranica, the flora of Russia and the flora of Iran are two separate species in one subgenus and two different segments. For this purpose, in this study, the taxonomic relationships of these two species based on morphological characteristics were investigated. The results indicate differences in morphological traits such as the shape and condition of the annual stem, the shape of lateral leaflets in the flowering stem, the shape of the leaflets. And the density of flowers in the inflorescence. Also, according to molecular data using the ITS nuclear marker, these two species have 36 different nucleotides, which confirms the separation of the two species. Therefore, according to the results obtained in this study and comparison with previous studies, it is suggested that two species of R. dolichocarpus and R. ochthodes. According to the flora of Iranica, the flora of Russia and the flora of Iran should be defined as two separate species. Manuscript profile

  Background & Objectives: Ectomyelois ceratoniae is one of the main pests of pomegranate. By now, no pesticides showed efficient effects on this pest. Biological control, such as changes in the reproduction ability, is a new emerged strategy for control of the population of this pest. This study was aimed to identify the symbiont bacteria in Ectomyelois ceratoniae and to determine their taxonomic classification. Materials & Methods: In this study, totally 100 infected pomegranate were randomly collected from different parts of Fars providence. After DNA extraction from ovum of the insects, a PCR approach was used to identify any symbiont bacteria in this samples. Following sequencing of the products and their analysis on gene banks, the taxonomic classification of Wolbachia was determined using ClusalX and TreeView. Results: In this study only one sample collected from shiraz was contaminated to Wolbachia . After amplification of wsp gene, OCR produced a 513 bp fragment which is available in gene bank under accession number KF007903. Analysis of the fragment in gene bank showed that this bacterium belonged to subclass Fur8 from group B, referred to as Wolbachia pipientis. Conclusion: According to our knowledge, the present study is the first report of the presence of Wolbachia in E. ceratoniae. Since the sampling were performed through June to August, the low prevalence of the bacterium Wolbachia sp. in these area can be due to effects of temperature, which is an inhibitory factor for growth of the bacterium in the insect.
