Some aspects of the reproductive biology of two populations of Musculium argentinum (d'Orbigny, 1835) (bivalvia: sphaeriidae) from Southern Chile [PDF]
Sphaerids have adopted a variety of life strategies that have allowed them to show a cosmopolitan distribution. Among these strategies, those related to reproduction, such as sexuality (hermaphroditism), offspring incubation, fertility, number of ...
