This study was carried out during the winter of 2008 to the summer 2010 to determine the rate of infection of Eimeria spp. in dromedary camels in Yazd province, Iran at that period. A total of 305 faecal samples were taken per recta from live and slaughtered, apparently healthy camels 9 months to 23 years old. Using saturated zinc sulfate solution floatation technique, samples were prepared and investigated microscopically to detect Eimeria spp. oocysts. Results revealed that the overall frequency of infection in samples was 9.51%. Identified species were Eimeria cameli (47.5%), Eimeria dromedarii (42.5%) and Eimeria bactriani (10%). The rate of infection was higher in the winter season, and in camels aged 5 to 10 years old. Statistical analysis showed that there is a significant difference between infection rate and season, but no effect by age or sex on eimeriosis was found. Since most of the positive cases in our study were adult, our findings suggest that older camels may play an important role in spreading infection as asymptomatic oocyst shedders.

Assessing the impact of climate change on water-related ecosystem services (ES) in Protected Areas (PAs) is essential for developing soil and water conservation strategies that promote sustainability and restore ES. However, the application of ES research in Protected Area (PA) management remains ambiguous and has notable shortcomings. This study primarily aimed to assess the SDR-InVEST (Sediment Delivery Ratio-Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) model for estimating ES, including soil loss, sediment export, and sediment retention, under various climate change scenarios from 1997 to 2100 in the data-scarce region of the Bagh-e-Shadi Forest PA.

Background: Triticale and tritipyrum as a new artificial cereal were investigated as potential stress-resistant alternatives within the Triticeae tribe due to their notable adaptability to environmental stresses.
Objectives: The first purpose of this study was to determine the genetic variation of 14 genotypes on physiological traits in arid and semi-arid climate of Yazd province on primary trans chromosomal tritipyrum (PTCT) lines, promising triticale lines, and Iranian and Afghan bread wheat cultivars, and the second purpose was to investigate the genetic diversity and classification of genotypes using start codon targeted (SCoT) markers.
Materials And Methods: The photosynthesis pigments, proline, and catalase enzyme activity of 14 genotypes were determined.
