"A first part deals with the morphology and taxonomy of the genus and a classification based on the biological species concept is presented. A further part is devoted to the author’s research accomplishments in this genus. It describes morphological characters distinguishing between diploids and tetraploids of series Eubarbatae, the genetic relationships between them, and the mode of origin of the tetraploid form. The section Denticulatae, to which the common oat belongs, is extensively treated. Further, oat domestication and the newly domesticated protein rich A. magna are described. A third part deals with wild genetic resources of oat."

"Among the approximately 25,000 described fish species, 40% occur mostly in fresh water (Nelson, 1994). The majority of the World?s freshwater fish biodiversity is located in the tropical areas (Lowe-McConnell, 1987; Kottelat et al., 1993; Kottelat &. Whitten, 1996). South-east Asia has the highest number of freshwater fish families. In this area, Indonesia displays the highest number of species with more than 1300 (Kottelat & Whitten, 1996).World-wide freshwater fish species occur in only 0.01% of the Blue Planet's water and therefore are being threatened (Stiassny, 1996). Numerous recent publications from many countries clearly demonstrated this current crisis of freshwater fish diversity (Miller efal., 1989; Bianco, 1990; Mamyama &. Hiratsuka, 1992; Witte et ai., 1992; Moyle, 1994; Warren, &.Burr, 1994; Wilcove & Bean, 1994; Bruton, 1995; Elvira, 1996;.Lelek, 1996; Cambray, 11997; Stiassny, 1998; Cambray Bc Bianco, 1998). The rapid human population growth coupled with technological advances have 'released a "lethal cocktail oft hreats" against the freshwater ecosystems (Cambray & Bianco, 1998) The set of human disturbances is constituted by overexploitation, introductions of alien species, genetic contamination of native genes pools, environmental pollution, habitat degradation, hydrological manipulations and global effects as climatic changes. The compilers of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals point out that the major causes of threats are essentially the introduction of non-native fish species and the habitat modifications (Groombridge, 1993-1994). In Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, threats of aquatic biodiversity above all, include loss of forest cover, pollution, exotic introductions and over-fishing, either for food or for aquarium trade (Kottelat ez al., 1993; Kottelat & Whitten, 1996)."

"Moradi M, Kamrani E, Shokri MR, Ranjbar MS, Hesni MA (2009) First record of two hard coral species (Faviidae and Siderastreidae) from Qeshm Island (Persian Gulf, Iran). Nusantara Bioscience 2: 34-37. Two species of hard corals including Cyphastrea chalcidicum (Forskal 1775) (Faviidae) and Coscinaraea monile (Forskal 1775) (Siderastreidae) were collected from the south of Qeshm Island (Persian Gulf, Iran) in the late of 2008. These species were previously reported from southern Persian Gulf, Gulf of Aden, Southeast Africa and Indo-Pacific. The literature review on the distribution of these two species revealed that these species were firstly recorded from the Persian Gulf. These findings further emphasize the high diversity of coral fauna in the Iranian waters of the northern Persian Gulf. "
