Abstract

The northwest Iran comprises parts of two major biodiversity hotspots; Irano-Anatoli and Caucasus. It is a mountainous transition realm between Caucasus forest in the north, Pontic forest of Turkey in the west and central deserts of Iranian Plateau. This study was designed to determine rodent diversity in northwest Iran. Moreover, corridor and barrier features of the region were investigated, as well. The samplings were done in different localities of northwestern Iran. In addition, all specimens of the Zoology Museum of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (ZMFUM) attributed to the region were denoted. The study shows that the specimens belong to 18 nominal forms attributing to 5 families: Muridae (Apodemus witherbyi, Mus musculus domesticus, Mus macedonicus, Meriones persicus rossicus, M. libycus erythrourus, M. vinogradovi and M. tristrami bogdanovi), Gliridae (Dryomys nitedula pictus), Cricetidae (Microtus socialis, M. obscurus, M. qazvinensis, Chionomys nivalis trialeticus, Arvicola amphibious persicus, Ellobius lutescens lutescens, Cricetulus migratorius pulcher and Mesocricetus brandti brandti), Dipodidae (Allactaga williamsi schmidti) and Calomyscidae (Calomyscus urartensis).

伊朗西北部啮齿动物的区系和分类研究

伊朗西北部包括两个主要生物多样性热点的部分地区;伊朗-安纳托利和高加索。它是北部高加索森林、西部土耳其本蒂克森林和伊朗高原中部沙漠之间的山地过渡地带。本研究旨在确定伊朗西北部啮齿动物的多样性。此外，还研究了该地区的廊道和屏障特征。这些样本是在伊朗西北部的不同地区进行的。此外，马什哈德费尔多西大学动物博物馆(ZMFUM)属于该地区的所有标本都进行了标注。研究表明，该标本分属5科18种名义形态:鼠科(枯萎姬鼠、家鼠、马其顿小家鼠、红腹小家鼠、红腹小家鼠、红腹小家鼠和三棱小家鼠)，鼠科(斑点小家鼠)，蟋蟀科(社会小家鼠、黑腹小家鼠、卡兹文氏小家鼠、三角小家鼠、水陆小家鼠、绿腹小家鼠、迁徙小家鼠和布氏中纹小家鼠)，足虱科(扁足虱科)和萼螨科(萼螨科)。
