Convergent and parallel evolution in life habit of the scallops (Bivalvia: Pectinidae) [PDF]
Background We employed a phylogenetic framework to identify patterns of life habit evolution in the marine bivalve family Pectinidae. Specifically, we examined the number of independent origins of each life habit and distinguished between convergent and ...

Pectinidae Rafinesque, 1815 Pectinidae Rafinesque, 1815 [emend. Waller, 1978]; formerly attributed to Wilkes (1810), but that work is not consistently binominal (Waller & Stanley 2005: 38; Dijkstra & Marshall 2008: 2; Bouchet & Rocroi, 2010: 65). Diagnostic characters. Byssate, cemented, or free-living Pectinoidea with outer prismatic calcite layer

The Mitochondrial Genome of Ylistrum japonicum (Bivalvia, Pectinidae) and Its Phylogenetic Analysis. [PDF]
The Ylistrum japonicum is a commercially valuable scallop known for its long-distance swimming abilities. Despite its economic importance, genetic and genomic research on this species is limited. This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genome of Y. japonicum.

The Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Two Rock Scallops (Bivalvia: Spondylidae) Indicate Extensive Gene Rearrangements and Adaptive Evolution Compared with Pectinidae. [PDF]
Different from the diverse family Pectinidae, the Spondylidae is a small group with a single genus that shares the sedentary life habit of cementing themselves to the substrate.

Taxonomic Revision of Jingle Shells: Resurrecting and Reclassifying Species of Anomiidae (Bivalvia: Pectinida). [PDF]
The family Anomiidae displays taxonomic ambiguity due to morphological plasticity. We resurrect Heteranomia aculeata and Pododesmus glaucus, while reclassifying Isonomia umbonata as Pododesmus umbonatus. Phylogenetic analyses confirm these revisions and the monophyly of all genera within Anomiidae, with Pododesmus as the earliest‐diverging lineage ...

Type specimens of Pectinidae (Bivalvia) described by Ignaz von Born
Born described in two publications (1778, 1780) the molluscs in the collection of Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780), now in the Natural History Museum at Vienna. In this paper the Pectinidae type material is described. Ten new species were introduced of which Argopecten nucleus (Born, 1778) and Minnivola pyxidata (Born, 1778) are valid taxa.

An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand. [PDF]
Abstract Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are increasingly understood to be an important part of ocean ecosystems, but their ecological role is unclear. Callorhinchus milii (elephant fish) is a chimaera species endemic to Aotearoa/New Zealand and southern Australian waters.
