A new deep-sea species of Elliptiolucina Cosel & Bouchet, 2008 (Bivalvia, Lucinida, Lucinidae) from cold seep of the South China Sea [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2023
The increasing discoveries of new species of the family Lucinidae in the last two decades indicated a surprising diversity of chemosynthetic lucinids in the deep sea, especially in the Indo-West Pacific.

Parasitism by a Digenea in Lucina pectinata (Mollusca: Lucinidae) [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017
Lucina pectinata is an important economic resource in the Brazilian coast. This study reports parasitism caused by a Digenea in this species. The specimens (n = 470) were collected in December 2012 in a mangrove swamp of the Cachoeira River estuary ...

Symbiont retention and holobiont response under simulated sulfide deprivation in Lucinid clams from seagrass beds [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Bivalves of the family Lucinidae thrive in sulfidic sediments thanks to their chemoautotrophic bacterial symbionts. However, how different Lucinidae species respond to sulfide deprivation and associated symbiont loss remains poorly understood.

The chromosomal genome sequence of the buttercup lucine, Anodontia alba Link, 1807 (Lucinida: Lucinidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Anodontia alba (buttercup lucine; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Lucinida; Lucinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 862.85 megabases.

The chromosomal genome sequence of the mollusc, Ctena decussata (O.G.Costa, 1829) and its bacterial endosymbiont Candidatus Thiodiazotropha sp. CDECU1 (Chromatiales) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Ctena decussata (Mollusca; Bivalvia; Lucinida; Lucinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,658.05 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.83%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

An overview of chemosynthetic symbioses in bivalves from the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Deep-sea bivalves found at hydrothermal vents, cold seeps and organic falls are sustained by chemosynthetic bacteria that ensure part or all of their carbon nutrition. These symbioses are of prime importance for the functioning of the ecosystems. Similar

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the intertidal lucinid clam Indoaustriella scarlatoi [PDF]

Scientific Data
Lucinidae, renowned as the most diverse chemosymbiotic invertebrate group, functions as a sulfide cleaner in coastal ecosystems and is thus ecologically important. Despite their significance, genomic studies on these organisms have been limited. Here, we

Molecular phylogeny and classification of the chemosymbiotic bivalve family Lucinidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia) [PDF]

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011
A new molecular phylogeny of the chemosymbiotic bivalve family Lucinidae is presented. Using sequences from the nuclear 18S and 28S rRNA genes and the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b, 105 specimens were analysed representing 87 separate species classified into 47 genera. Samples were collected from a wide range of habitats including mangroves, seagrass

Reproductive periods of Lucina pectinata (BIVALVE; LUCINIDAE) in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex, Paraná - Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2016
The objectives of the present study is to describe the size for exploitation and gonadal maturation of L. pectinata in Peças Island in Paraná coast. Twenty two individuals were sampled every month, from an intertidal flat of the Peças River, Municipality

Unloved, paraphyletic or misplaced: new genera and species of small to minute lucinid bivalves and their relationships (Bivalvia, Lucinidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
Species identified as Pillucina are paraphyletic in molecular analyses and a new generic name, Rugalucina, is introduced for a complex of three similar species Rugalucina angela from the northern Indian Ocean and Red Sea, R.
