这项研究提供了一个说明性的说明,系统的全面更新,以及五个科的15种无尾动物的参考书目,八个属;在两个科的六个乌贼中,伊朗的四个属。Bufonidae,有八个物种,是最多样化的家族;Salamandridae有5种,Ranidae有4种。这项研究还提供了更新的鸡蛋识别密钥,幼虫,和变质的伊朗两栖动物。我们将标本NMW19855.1指定为Pelophylaxpersicus的新类型(施耐德,1799)梳子。11月。.连同从目前已知的所有可靠地点和博物馆标本获得的分布图,模拟的物种栖息地,第一次,基于IUCN红色清单类别和标准的国家两栖动物红色清单。根据我们的评估,我们建议对Bufoeichwaldi进行分类,paradactylodonpersicus,Neurergusderjugini,和N.kaiseri在国家红色名单上是脆弱的,并移动布夫特斯(Calliopersa)luristanicus,B.(C.)Surdus,橄榄Firouzophrynusolivacus,和Ranapseudodalmatina从最不关心的类别(LC)到近乎威胁的类别(NT)。我们提出的国家两栖动物红色名录对濒危物种的管理和保护具有重要意义。伊朗41%的两栖动物物种是该国特有的,超过40%的伊朗两栖动物面临灭绝的危险。Zagros山区森林和Hyrcaniain森林拥有伊朗两栖动物多样性的80%以上(即18种)。伊朗以外的研究人员不容易获得大量以波斯语发表的有关伊朗两栖动物的科学文献。该专着试图纠正这种情况,并提供更广泛的国际爬行动物学。我们认识到分类学总是处于不断变化的状态,这里使用的名称和同义词反映了我们目前的观点。
This study provides an illustrated account, a comprehensive update of the systematics, and a bibliography of the 15 species of anurans in five families, eight genera; and of the six species of urodeles in two families, four genera in Iran. Bufonidae, with eight species, is the most diverse family;
Salamandridae has five species and Ranidae has four species. This study also presents updated identification keys for the eggs, larvae, and metamorphosed amphibians of Iran. We designated specimen NMW 19855.1 as neotype of Pelophylax persicus (Schneider, 1799) comb. nov.. Along with distribution maps obtained from all the reliable localities and museum specimens known at this time, the modelled habitat of species, and for the first time, the National Red List of amphibians based on the IUCN red list categories and criteria. Based on our evaluation we propose to categorize Bufo eichwaldi, Paradactylodon persicus, Neurergus derjugini, and N. kaiseri as Vulnerable at National Red List, and to move Bufotes (Calliopersa) luristanicus, B. (C.) surdus, Firouzophrynus olivaceus, and Rana pseudodalmatina from the category of Least Concern (LC) to Near Threatened (NT). The National Red List of amphibians that we propose has significant implications for endangered species management and conservation. Forty-one percent of amphibian species in Iran are endemic to the country, and more than forty percent of the Iranian amphibians are at risk of extinction. Zagros Mountain forest and Hyrcaniain forests have more than 80% (i.e. 18 species) of the diversity of Iranian amphibians. A considerable amount of scientific literature published on Iranian amphibians in Persian language is not easily accessible to researchers outside Iran. This monograph attempts to remedy the situation and provides broader access to international herpetology. We recognize that taxonomy is always in a state of flux, and the names and synonymies used here reflect our current view.
