Anatomia funcional de Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) Lucinidae - Bivalvia
Boletim de Zoologia, 1980 A anatomia funcional de Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) foi estudada neste trabalho tendo sido dada atenção especial à formação do tubo inalante anterior, ao funcionamento do pé, manto, brânquias do manto, ctenídios, palpos labiais e estômago. Observações do comportamento do bivalve e o funcionamento destes órgãos permitiram verificar as adaptações ...

Respiration Strategies Utilized by the Gill Endosymbiont from the Host Lucinid Codakia orbicularis (Bivalvia: Lucinidae) [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2004 ABSTRACT The large tropical lucinid clam Codakia orbicularis has a symbiotic relationship with intracellular, sulfide-oxidizing chemoautotrophic bacteria. The respiration strategies utilized by the symbiont were explored using integrative techniques on mechanically purified symbionts and intact clam ...

Investigating the Bivalve Tree of Life -- an exemplar-based approach combining molecular and novel morphological characters. [PDF]
, 2014 To re-evaluate the relationships of the major bivalve lineages, we amassed detailed morpho-anatomical, ultrastructural and molecular sequence data for a targeted selection of exemplar bivalves spanning the phylogenetic diversity of the class. We included

Repetitive desiccation events weaken a salt marsh mutualism
Journal of Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, Page 2415-2426, September 2019., 2019 In an 4‐month field experiment, we investigate how repetitive desiccation events affect the interaction between cordgrass and ribbed mussels, two dominant, habitat‐forming species, in southeastern US salt marshes. Mussels increased cordgrass biomass and buffered the gradual deterioration of sediment porewater conditions that arose over repeated ...
