Abstract

Conservation of biological diversity is one of the most important issues in conservation biology, so a wide range of quantitative spatial methods have been used to determine the biodiversity hotspots and the conservation priority areas. The main aims of the present study are determining the areas of endemism as well as the centers of diversity of the genus Onosma based on the GIE, IPAs, species richness, and AZE-like criteria approaches, to assess the status and priorities of conservation of the mentioned genus in Iran. Based on the findings of this research, centers of species richness, the main areas of endemism, top-ranked IPAs, and AZE-like criteria are situated in the Zagros ecosystems. The comparison of the four approaches used in this study shows that the IPAs and GIE techniques have succeeded in identifying the most important centers of diversity and endemism of Onosma in Iran. Considering that this genus with a high percentage of endemic species is one of the most important genera of Iranian flora and only 46 % of the IPAs and areas of endemism specified in the research are located in protected areas, identification and protection of the rest of these areas is one of the prevalent measures needed for conservation of Onosma species diversity in Iran.

伊朗龙葵属植物多样性中心及保护重点

生物多样性保护是保护生物学中最重要的问题之一，因此使用了广泛的定量空间方法来确定生物多样性热点和保护优先区域。本研究的主要目的是根据GIE、IPA、物种丰富度和类似AZE的标准方法，确定小茴香属的特有区和多样性中心，以评估伊朗上述属的保护状况和优先事项。根据这项研究的结果，扎格罗斯生态系统中有物种丰富度中心、地方病的主要区域、排名靠前的IPA和类似AZE的标准。本研究中使用的四种方法的比较表明，IPA和GIE技术已经成功地确定了伊朗Onosma最重要的多样性和地方性中心。考虑到该属是伊朗植物区系中最重要的属之一，且研究中指定的IPA和地方性区域中只有46%位于保护区内，识别和保护这些区域的其余区域是保护伊朗Onosma物种多样性所需的普遍措施之一。
