Phylogeny of Veneridae (Bivalvia) based on mitochondrial genomes

Zoologica Scripta, 2020
AbstractVeneridae is one of the most diverse families of bivalve molluscs. However, their phylogenetic relationships among subfamilies have been debated for years. To explore phylogenetic relationships of Veneridae, we sequenced 13 complete mitochondrial genome sequences from eight subfamilies and compared with available complete mitochondrial genome ...

Phylogenetic Analysis of Veneridae (Bivalvia): Comparison of Molecular and Palaeontological Data

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1996
An approximately 400-bp-long portion of the 16s rRNA gene sequence has been determined for the venerid clams Chamelea gallina (Chioninae), Dosinia lupinus (Dosiniinae), Pitar rudis, Callista chione (Pitarinae), Tapes decussatus, T. philippinarum, Venerupis (= Paphia) aurea (Tapetinae), and Venus verrucosa (Venerinae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dosinia japonica (Bivalvia: Veneridae)

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2017
Dosinia japonica is a marine bivalve mollusk of the family Veneridae, which is distributed in coastal areas of China, Korean peninsula, Japan, and Russia. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the clam D. japonica was determined firstly. It is 17,693 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and ...

Hatchery culture of European clam species (family Veneridae)

Aquaculture International, 2020
Aquaculture and capture production of clam species have great economic value in Europe. The production is dominated by the introduced species, Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, which has displaced some of the native species of clams. In Europe, landings of autochthonous clams have decreased in the recent years due to overfishing, failure in ...

OBSERVATIONS ON BURROWING IN THE VENERIDAE (EULAMELLIBRANCHIA)

The Biological Bulletin, 1962
Among bivalves, the conflicting requirements of maintaining contact with the surface for feeding, and retiring into the substratum to avoid disturbance or for protection against enemies have led to adaptations of the foot and associated muscles, and the siphons in a number of different ways.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Saxidomus purpuratus (Veneroida: Veneridae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Saxidomus purpuratus is determined, which is the first complete mitochondrial genome in the genus Saxidomus. The genome was of 19 637 bp in length, including 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and 12 protein-coding genes with the order of ND3 and ND5 reversed.

Larval Development of Chione cancellata Linne (Veneridae, Bivalvia)

Chesapeake Science, 1970
The larvae ofChione cancellata Linne, a small, subtropical venerid clam, were raised and described to facilitate their identification in plankton samples. Dimensions (in microns). L=leght, H=height, D=depth. Straight hinge stage: L=87–125, H=72–119, D=45–96. L-19=H±8. L-42=D±9. Straight hinge line 59–67. Umbo stage: L=112–196. H=112–187. D=62–165. L-17=

Spermatozoan morphology of four species of bivalve (Heterodonta, Veneridae) from Taiwan

Tissue and Cell, 2002
Using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, the mature spermatozoa of four bivalves of the family Veneridae--Gafrarium tumidum and Circe scripta (Circinae), Pitar sulfureum (Pitarinae) and Gomphina aequilatera (Tapetinae)--are described for the first time and compared with those of other bivalves, particularly other heterodonts.

Physiological and biochemical responses of three Veneridae clams exposed to salinity changes

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014
Given their global importance, coastal marine environments are a major focus of concern regarding the potential impacts of climate change, namely due to alterations in seawater salinity. It is known that environmental characteristics, such as salinity, affect immune and physiological parameters of bivalves. Nevertheless, scarce information is available
