| چکیده | ||
| This study presents the first molecular evidence for Varanus bengalensis from southeastern Iran. Molecular analyses based on mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences confirmed that the specimens from southeastern Iran belong to the V. bengalensis lineage. The results provide convincing evidence that the V. bengalensis individuals in southeastern Iran belong to a haplotype that is widespread in India, despite the large geographical distance between the two regions. | ||
