First complete female mitochondrial genome in four bivalve species genus Donax and their phylogenetic relationships within the Veneroida order [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundFour species of the genus Donax (D. semistriatus, D. trunculus, D. variegatus and D. vittatus) are common on Iberian Peninsula coasts. Nevertheless, despite their economic importance and overexploitation, scarce genetic resources are available.

A global synthesis of ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalve molluscs. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2022
ABSTRACT Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well‐being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to people. Here we synthesise the global evidence on ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalves, a ...

The first complete mitochondrial genome of Antigona lamellaris (Schumacher, 1817) (Veneroida: Veneridae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Venus clams (Veneridae) including Antigona lamellaris are commercially important fishery resources by their dominance in local benthic communities. However, despite their great diversity, the phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships in venus clams remain

The complete mitochondrial genome of Meretrix lusoria (Bivalvia: Veneroida: Veneridae) from Kumamoto, Japan [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We sequenced and assembled the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Meretrix lusoria, from Kumamoto, Japan. The length of mitogenome is 20,180 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes.

The fingernail clams (Bivalvia: Veneroida: Sphaeriidae) of Morocco: Diversity, distribution and conservation status [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021
In Morocco, many uncertainties surround the current diversity and distribution of the bivalve family Sphaeriidae. Such information, including taxonomy and conservation status, are vital for further studies to improve the knowledge of this family in ...

Riparian Bryophytes: An Overlooked Yet Important Habitat for Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Interior Pacific Northwest (USA) Salmonid-Bearing Streams. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated riparian bryophytes as habitat for aquatic invertebrates in an interior Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmonid stream system. Our results demonstrate that bryophytes are highly productive habitat for aquatic invertebrates in interior Pacific Northwest salmonid streams.

Development of environmental DNA metabarcoding primers for marine mollusks and comparison with published primers [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Monitoring mollusk biodiversity is a great challenge due to their large diversity and broad distribution. Environmental DNA (eDNA) technology is increasingly applied for biodiversity monitoring, but relevant studies on marine mollusks are still limited ...

The genome sequence of a heart cockle, Fragum fragum (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 2 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual specimen of Fragum fragum (a heart cockle; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Veneroida; Cardiidae). The genome sequence is 1,153.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.
