Molecular Phylogeny of the Subgenus Reveals Genetic Signature of Post-Glacial Colonization of (Rodentia: Muridae) in the Zagros Mountains from Different Refugia.

Eastern broad-toothed field mouse, , is a rocky habitat dwelling rodent distributed in Asia Minor, the Levant, the Caucasus, and the Zagros Mountains. In this study, we investigated the phylogenetic relationship between different populations of throughout its range, based on the mitochondrial marker. Phylogenetic analyses revealed the existence of five separately evolving lineages within , of which two previously unrecognized lineages were identified in the Zagros Mountains and the Levant.

A survey on endoparasites in wild rodents of the Jaz Murian depression and adjacent areas, southeast of Iran.

In this survey, rodents and their endoparasites were investigated in the Jaz Murian depression and adjacent areas, southeast Iran. In total, 146 specimens of rodents belong to 13 species were trapped. In general, 10 different genera of endoparasites including 11 species were collected.
