ObjectivesCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents a major pandemic threat that has spread to more than 212 countries with 432,902 recorded deaths and 7,898,442 confirmed cases worldwide so far (on June 14, 2020). It is crucial investigate the spatial drivers prevent control epidemic of COVID-19.MethodsThis first comprehensive study COVID-19 in Iran; it carries out modeling, risk mapping, change detection, outbreak trend analysis spread. Four main steps were taken: comparison Iranian...
Abstract Aim Central Iran is a priority area for biodiversity conservation, which threatened by encroachment on core habitats and fragmentation roads. The goal of this study was to identify areas connectivity corridors set desert carnivores predicting habitat suitability calculating resistant kernel, factorial least‐cost path modelling graph network indices. Location Iran. Methods We used an ensemble model ( EM ) methods predict the potential leopard, cheetah, caracal, wild cat, sand cat...
Digitalizing cement production plants to improve operation parameters' control might reduce energy consumption and increase process sustainabilities. Cement are one of the extremest CO2 emissions, rotary kiln is a plant's most energy-consuming energy-wasting unit. Thus, enhancing its assessments adsorb attention. Since many factors would affect clinker quality efficiency, controlling those variables beyond operator capabilities. Constructing conscious-lab "CL" (developing an explainable...
Identifying spatial gaps in conservation networks requires information on species-environment relationships, and prioritization of habitats corridors. We combined multi-extent niche modeling, landscape connectivity, gap analysis to investigate scale-dependent environmental identify core corridors for a little-known carnivore Iran, the striped hyaena (Hyaena hyaena). This species is threatened Iran by road vehicle collisions direct killing. Therefore, understanding factors that affect its...
The spatial scale of environmental layers is an important factor to consider in developing understanding ecological processes. This study employed Maxent modeling investigate the geographic distribution goitered gazelle, Gazella subgutturosa (Güldenstädt, 1780), central Iran using uncorrelated variables at a resolution 250 m. We used downscaling downscale WorldClim data 250-m resolution. evaluated sensitivity model different grain and extent sizes from m 3 km. compared performance scales...
The genetic threat due to hybridization with free-ranging dogs is one major concern in wolf conservation. identification of hybrids and extent important the conservation management populations. Genetic variation was analyzed at 15 unlinked loci 28 dogs, wolves, four known hybrids, two black dog abnormal traits Iran. Pritchard's model, multivariate ordination by principal component analysis neighbor joining clustering were used for population individual assignment. Analysis showed that...
Abstract Multiple studies have used species distribution models to identify human–wildlife conflict drivers. An important application of these is spatial resolution by accounting for habitat suitability and corridors. We connectivity habitats corridors brown bear Ursus arctos in southwestern Iran with high risk damages, evaluated the effects landscape composition configuration on predicted hotspots. 154 locations damage incidents along a suit predictors develop models. To prepare predictive...
Abstract Background Humans have altered fire regimes across ecosystems due to climate change, land use and increasing ignition. Unprecedented shifts in affect animals contribute habitat displacement, reduced movement, increased mortality risk. Mitigating these effects require the identification of habitats that are susceptible wildfires. We designed an analytical framework incorporates risk mapping with species distribution modeling identify key Ursus arctos high probability Iran. applied...
Studies have demonstrated that the presence of nitrate and nitrite in drinking water can cause some disease such as cancer blu baby infant. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since adopted 10 mg/L standard maximum contaminant level (MCL) for nitrate-nitrogen 1 nitrite-nitrogen regulated public systems. Given importance well GIS ability spatial analysis various factors groundwater, this study aimed to evaluate concentration wells Yazd using two IDW (Inverse Distance Weighting)...
Hungary is one of the largest common carp-production countries in Europe and now, there a large number local breeds strains country. For proper maintenance animal genetic resources, information on their diversity structure essential. At present, few data are available purity variability Hungarian carp. In this study, we genetically analyzed 13 and, addition, Amur wild carp, using 12 microsatellite markers. A total 117 unique alleles were detected 630 individuals. Low levels differentiation...
Abstract The common pheasant, a game species widely introduced throughout the world, can be considered as an ideal model to study effects of introduction events on local adaptations, biogeographic patterns, and genetic divergence processes. We aimed assess origin, spatial patterns variation, demographic history populations in contact zone Central Southeast Europe, using mitochondrial DNA control region sequences microsatellite loci. Both types molecular markers indicated relatively low...
Abstract The phylogeny and species boundaries of Gazella subgutturosa G. marica have been long debated. achievements past conservation efforts compromised by a lack knowledge about the taxonomic status different populations. We integrated recent genetic findings previous studies with morphometric analyses ecological niche modeling (ENM) to assess discreteness among populations these gazelle in Asia. Taxonomic diversity gazelles was investigated using principal components analysis (PCA) based...
