Simple algorithm to assess the diversity and distribution for algae of Iran

By studying algae reports from different localities of the country during the past ۸۷ years, about ۶۰۰۰ records information including ۲۵۶۷ species and infra-specifics were analyzed and distribution maps were drawn. The algae studies in the Iranian islands of the Persian Gulf, especially around Bushehr and the Khark Island by Borgesen (۱۹۳۰), the oldest available document is used in this study. Many of the scientific names of the references used were synonyms with authorities in the field of algae taxonomy, such as AlgaeBase (Guiry & Guiry ۲۰۱۵) were changed to valid names. Using the capabilities VB.Net programming (Foxall ۲۰۱۵) under a model of software named as “Explorer for Algae of Iran” was designed and developed.
