The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Pronounced karyological divergence of the North American congeners Sphaerium rhomboideum and S. occidentale (Bivalvia: Veneroida: Sphaeriidae) [PDF]

Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2007
Chromosome sets of two North American sphaeriid species, Sphaerium rhomboideum Say, 1822 and S. occidentale Lewis, 1856, were studied using conventional Giemsa staining and karyometric analysis. Pronounced karyological divergence of congeners was revealed. The diploid number of 2n ¼ 44 was reported for S.

Isolation of a Protease‐Producing Microbacterium From the Intestinal Tract of Ruditapes philippinarum and Its Probiotic Effects

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Aquatic probiotics are generally recognized as safe and nontoxic live bacterial preparations, primarily sourced from the culturing environment or directly from aquatic organisms. Upon entering the aquatic environment, these probiotics are capable of colonizing both the surface and internal compartments of aquatic organisms, thereby enhancing their ...

How can eDNA contribute in riverine macroinvertebrate assessment? A metabarcoding approach in the Nalón River (Asturias, Northern Spain)

Environmental DNA, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 385-401, November 2019., 2019
Rivers are impacted ecosystems that need to be monitored regularly. Here, we have tested a metabarcoding approach to compare the results on water quality monitoring with conventional assessments for benthic macroinvertebrates. Water quality monitoring in freshwaters using macroinvertebrate eDNA performs equally well than conventional morphological ...

Sex and occupation time influence niche space of a recovering keystone predator

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Predators exert strong effects on ecological communities, particularly when they re‐occupy areas after decades of extirpation. Within species, such effects can vary over time and by sex and cascade across trophic levels.

Host hybridization as a potential mechanism of lateral symbiont transfer in deep‐sea vesicomyid clams

Molecular Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 21, Page 4697-4708, November 2019., 2019
Abstract Deep‐sea vesicomyid clams live in mutualistic symbiosis with chemosynthetic bacteria that are inherited through the maternal germ line. On evolutionary timescales, strictly vertical transmission should lead to cospeciation of host mitochondrial and symbiont lineages; nonetheless, examples of incongruent phylogenies have been reported ...

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Bivalvia (Mollusca): searching for the origin and mitogenomic correlates of doubly uniparental inheritance of mtDNA

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) is an atypical system of animal mtDNA inheritance found only in some bivalves. Under DUI, maternally (F genome) and paternally (M genome) transmitted mtDNAs yield two distinct gender-associated mtDNA ...

Effects of weir‐induced habitat fragmentation on the diversity and community composition of benthic macroinvertebrates in an agricultural stream

Entomological Research, Volume 54, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract This research delves into the effects of weir‐induced habitat fragmentation on the diversity and structure of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in Topyeong Stream in the Republic of Korea. Through comprehensive zonation, environmental assessments and analyses of macroinvertebrate populations, the study brings to light the significant ...
