Abstract

Little is known about altitudinal Distribution of lizards in Iran. In the present study we studied Distribution pattern of members of family Lacertidae along the eleveatinal gradient in Iran. To determine environmental drivers of Distribution pattern of 48 lizard species, all known valid members of family Lacertidae, along elevational gradient in Iran. Firstly, we classified Iran digital elevation model (DEM) based on 100m intervals, that resulted in 56 altitudinal bands and number of species in each band was recorded. Secondly, we extracted mean value of following variables; altitude, slop, Area, solar radiation index (SRI), normalized differences vegetation index (NDVI), annual precipitation, precipitation of wettest month, precipitation of driest month precipitation, precipitation of wettest quarter, precipitation of driest quarter, and Precipitation of warmest quarter, and using VIF measure correlated variables were removed. Finally, we performed a multiple regression and found that Area and Precipitation of warmest quarter are the most important drivers of Distribution pattern of family Lacertidae along elevational gradient in Iran. General Distribution pattern of family Lacertidae was unimodal and maximum number of species living from 1475 m to 1675 m.
