An analytical approach to a classification of the Bivalvia

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1978
A scheme of classification should depend on many organ systems, not on one. How should this be achieved, resolving conflict between different bodies of evidence? In the Treatise on invertebrate paleontology (vols N 1-N 3) special importance was apparently attached to one feature, the ...

Mollusca. Bivalvia (Muscheln)

1932
In der einschlagigen Literatur wird die Tatsache, das, ahnlich wie bei den Schnecken, auch innerhalb der sehr artenreichen Gruppe der Muscheln kaum eine Spezies existiert, die vollkommen symmetrischen Bau aufweist, viel zu wenig gewurdigt. Die kleineren Asymmetrien sind meist die Folge davon, das die eine Schalenklappe schlosartig in der anderen ...

Periostracum in Palaeozoic Bivalvia?

Nature Physical Science, 1972
PERIOSTRACUM (a proteinous protective layer covering the outside of many molluscs) has been found in Early Palaeozoic Bivalvia from the Silurian of the Barrandian (Central Bohemia). Although the organic substances in the periostracum layer have mostly been changed into inorganic material, the thickness and outer surface micromorphology of periostracum ...

Molecular evidence on the evolution of the Bivalvia [PDF]

open access: possibleGeological Society, London, Special Publications, 2000
Abstract Despite widespread agreement on the monophyly of several major taxa of bivalves, others remain uncertain and the relationships among them are debated. The present study compares new and published morphological phylogenies with new analyses based on 18S gene sequences. All but one family and all superfamilies in the Bivalvia

Bivalvia—A Discussion of Known Unknowns*

American Malacological Bulletin, 2013
Abstract. Bivalves share many of the “deeper” questions with the other molluscan groups - issues such as their origin and sister-group relationships within the Mollusca, and their suitability to explore molecular data in a “known” fossil framework.

Significance of the ligament in the classification of the Bivalvia

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1978
This survey, based throughout on knowledge of the epithelia which secrete the various regions of the primary ligament and also their periostracal extensions sometimes resulting in the formation of separate secondary ligaments, provides evidence in justification of the following: (1) Union of the Carditacea and ...

The Microstructures of the Biomineralized Bivalvia Shells

MRS Proceedings, 1989
AbstractThe paper presents the detailed study of the structural features of the biomineralized bivalvia shells. The Cristaria plicata(Leach), Anodonta woodianal(Lea) and Lamprotula Leai(Gray) are selected as the prototype in the present study. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction, laser Raman spectroscope and electron spectroscopy for ...

Annotated checklist of the marine Bivalvia of Rodrigues

Journal of Natural History, 2004
This checklist illustrates and comments on the 109 species of marine bivalve currently known from Rodrigues. The fauna appears impoverished when compared to those of Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles. Low habitat diversity is postulated as the cause of impoverishment rather than the relatively young geological age of Rodrigues.

Taxonomic reassessment of the freshwater mussel genus Unio (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in Russia and Ukraine based on morphological and molecular data

, 2017
The taxonomy of species within the genus Unio (Bivalvia: Unionidae: Unioninae) in Russia and Ukraine has been contentious due to the lack of correspondence between three concurrent yet divergent classifications.
