Abstract:
Freshwater ecosystems are among the most threatened ecosystems. Thus, knowing where these unique
ecosystems’ species richness reaches a peak can facilitate their conservation planning. By hosting 289
freshwater fishes, Iran is a major freshwater fish hotspot in the Middle East. Considering the accelerating
rate of biodiversity loss, there is an urgent need to identify species rich areas and understanding of the
mechanisms driving biodiversity distribution. In this study, we gathered distribution records of all endemic
freshwater fishes of Iran (85 species) to develop their richness map and determine the most critical driver
of their richness pattern with an ecoregion approach. We performed a generalized linear model (GLM)
with quasi-Poisson distribution to identify contemporary and historical determinants of endemic
freshwater fish richness. We also quantified endemic fish similarity among the 15 freshwater ecoregions
of Iran. Results showed that endemic freshwater fish richness is highest in the Zagros Mountains and
moderate level of richness was observed between Zagros and Alborz Mountains. High, moderate and low
richness of endemic freshwater fish match with Upper Tigris & Euphrates, Namak, and Kavir & Lut Deserts
ecoregions respectively. Precipitation and precipitation change velocity since the Last Glacial Maximum
were the most important predictor of freshwater fish richness. Areas identified to have the highest species
richness have high priority for the conservation of freshwater fish in Iran, therefore, should be considered
in future protected areas development
