Complete maternal mitochondrial genome of the freshwater mussel Cuneopsis celtiformis (Bivalvia: Unionidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The genus Cuneopsis Simpson, comprises seven valid species, and Cuneopsis celtiformis (Heude, 1874) is the type species of this genus. Previous phylogenetic studies using complete mitochondrial genomes showed that Cuneopsis was not monophyletic, but the ...

F-type complete mitochondrial genomes of two Hyriposis species, H. schlegelii and H. cumingii (Bivalvia; Unionoida; Unionidae) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and its phylogenetic analysis [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 We have sequenced the female type (F-type) complete mitochondrial genomes of two Hyriposis species, H. schlegelii and H. cumingii (Gonideinae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and inferred the Unioninae phylogeny.

DNA barcoding, multilocus phylogeny, and morphometry reveal phenotypic plasticity in the Chinese freshwater mussel Lamprotula caveata (Bivalvia: Unionidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Using DNA barcoding, six‐molecule markers and morphometry, we supported that L. quadrangulosa and L. contritus were synonyms of L. caveata, and confirmed multiple phenotypes in L. caveata for species identification. Abstract Accurate species identification is crucial for developing conservation strategies for freshwater mussels, one of the most ...

Declines in freshwater mussel density, size and productivity in the River Thames over the past half century. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2023 Freshwater mussels in the River Thames have declined by over 90% and are growing more slowly, compared with a study published in Journal of Animal Ecology 56 years ago. Drivers may include changing nutrient levels and the arrival of invasive species. The loss of these ecosystem engineers could have crucial impacts.

The complete mitochondrial genome of freshwater mussel Nodularia douglasiae (Unionidae) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and its phylogenetic analysis [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 We have sequenced the female type (F-type) mitochondrial genome of Nodularia douglasiae (Unioninae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and inferred the Unioninae phylogeny using complete mitochondrial genome sequences.

Testing the utility of DNA barcodes and a preliminary phylogenetic framework for Chinese freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) from the middle and lower Yangtze River. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The middle and lower portions of the Yangtze River basin is the most species-rich region for freshwater mussels in Asia. The management and conservation of the taxa in this region has been greatly hampered by the lack of a well-developed phylogeny and ...

Using a multi-model ensemble approach to determine biodiversity hotspots with limited occurrence data in understudied areas: An example using freshwater mussels in México. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 This research article evaluates the utility of multi‐model ensemble species distribution models (ESDMs) to predict occupancy in regions where there is limited distribution and environmental data. Our study focuses on freshwater mussels, which are globally imperiled, in the Pánuco River Basin in central México, a region considered one of 25 biodiversity

The complete maternally and paternally inherited mitochondrial genomes of the endangered freshwater mussel Solenaia carinatus (Bivalvia: Unionidae) and implications for Unionidae taxonomy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) is an exception to the typical maternal inheritance of mitochondrial (mt) DNA in Metazoa, and found only in some bivalves. In species with DUI, there are two highly divergent gender-associated mt genomes: maternal (F)
