Assessing the Molluscan Hypothesis Serialia (Monoplacophora + Polyplacophora) Using Novel Molecular Data
(Elsevier BV, 2010)A consensus on molluscan relationships has yet to be achieved, largely because of conflicting morphological and molecular hypotheses. Monoplacophora show marked seriality of ctenidia, atria, muscles and nephridia and this ... -
Cementing mussels to oysters in the pteriomorphian tree: a phylogenomic approach
(The Royal Society, 2016)Mussels (Mytilida) are a group of bivalves with ancient origins and some of the most important commercial shellfish worldwide. Mytilida consists of approximately 400 species found in various littoral and deep-sea environments, ... -
Evolution of Bivalvia: Multi-level phylogenetic and phylogenomic reconstructions within Bivalvia (Mollusca) with emphasis on resolving familial relationships within Archiheterodonta (Bivalvia: Heterodonta).
(2013-10-15)With an estimated 8,000-20,000 species, bivalves represent the second largest living class of molluscs (Bieler et al. 2013). Revived interest in molluscan phylogeny has resulted in a torrent of molecular sequence data from ... -
Report of a Cohesive Gelatinous Egg Mass Produced by a Tropical Marine Bivalve
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)Gelatinous egg masses are common in a number of animal phyla. However, they are virtually unknown in marine bivalves, with structures that could be thought of as gelatinous egg masses being reported for only five species. ...
