Southwest Asia is one of the most important centers of diversity for leafy spurges (Euphorbia subgen. Esula), and Iran is one of the richest countries both for species and endemics in the subgenus. Section Esula, the second largest of the 21 sections of this subgenus, comprises c. 96 taxonomically and phylogenetically poorly understood species with complicated patterns of morphological variation. Size calling and definition of same-size "bins" for bacterial and fungal OTUs used GeneMarker v. 1.95 (SoftGenetics, LLC, State College, PA, USA), with manual correction of the software-defined OTU bins in order to eliminate any overlapping bins. Every ARISA amplicon in each sample was assigned to an OTU bin, and the signal intensity (peak Alleles were scored using the program GeneMarker v 1.95 (SoftGenetics, State College, PA) with manual editing of the automatically scored peaks. Of the 30 microsatellite loci tested, 17 were selected to screen all individuals based on high variability (4-7 alleles/locus) and reliable amplification. Fragments between 60 and 500 bp long generated by each primer pair were scored using GeneMarker ® Version 1.95 software (SoftGenetics, State College, PA). Peaks were first binary scored (1 for peak present and 0 for peak absent) using automatic settings followed by visual inspection and manual adjustment of each peak to ensure accurate scoring. AFLP fragment files were processed into binary matrices using GeneMarker Version 1.95 software (SoftGenetics, State College, PA). Peaks were first scored with a 1 for present and 0 for absent, using automatic settings followed by visual inspection and manual adjustment of each peak to ensure accurate scoring. • Manual extraction process • Il Pti Kdi tInvolves a Proteinase K digest • Saturated Ammonium Acetate solution to separate DNA • Absolute Ethanol wash to precipitate DNA • Rehydrated with 100 µL TE Dr. Peter M.

Genotypes were scored by analyzing the electropherograms from the fragment analysis using GeneMarker version 1.95 (SoftGenetics, State College, Pennsylvania, USA). The fragments were scored relative to a GeneScan 500 LIZ Size Standard (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, California, USA). Throughout the developing world, urban centres with sprawling slum settlements are rapidly expanding and invading previously forested ecosystems. Slum communities are characterized by untended refuse, open sewers and overgrown vegetation, which promote rodent infestation. Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) are reservoirs for epidemic transmission of many zoonotic pathogens of public health Altogether, we were able to identify 108 individuals (6.67%) unambiguously as recaptures without further manual photographic comparison and 135 individuals (8.34%) with additional manual photographic comparison. According to GENECAP, 89 of the 135 recaptured individuals were recaptured once, 11 twice, 4 three times, and 3 four times. Fragment analysis was performed on the MegaBACE 1000 autosequencer (GE Healthcare Biosciences, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA), and alleles were scored using GeneMarker version 1.95 (So
