Mesozoic mitogenome rearrangements and freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionoidea)...
Froufe, Elsa; Bolotov, Ivan N.; Aldridge, David C.; Bogan, Arthur E.; Breton, Sophie; Gan, Han Ming; Kovitvadhi, Uthaiwan; Kovitvadhi, SatitUsing a new fossil-calibrated mitogenome-based approach, we identified macroevolutionary shifts in mitochondrial gene order among the freshwater mussels (Unionoidea). We show that the early Mesozoic divergence of the two Unionoidea clades, Margaritiferidae and Unionidae, was accompanied by a synchronous split in the gene arrangement in the female mitogenome (i.e., gene orders MF1 and UF1). Our results suggest t...
Research priorities for freshwater mussel conservation assessment
Ferreira-Rodríguez N.; Akiyama, Yoshihiro B.; Aksenova, Olga V.; Araujo, Rafael; Barnhart, M. Christopher; Bespalaya, Yulia V.; Bogan, Arthur E.Freshwater mussels are declining globally, and effective conservation requires prioritizing research and actions to identify and mitigate threats impacting mussel species. Conservation priorities vary widely, ranging from preventing imminent extinction to maintaining abundant populations. Here, we develop a portfolio of priority research topics for freshwater mussel conservation assessment. To address these top...

Diversity, biogeography and conservation of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Union...
Zieritz, Alexandra; Bogan, Arthur E.; Froufe, Elsa; Klishko, Olga; Kondo, Takaki; Kovitvadhi, Uthaiwan; Kovitvadhi, Satit; Lee, Jin HeeRecent research efforts have significantly advanced our knowledge on Asian freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionida) diversity and distribution. Here we provide a modern consensus of the diversity, biogeography and conservation of Unionida in the region comprising East and Southeast Asia (excluding Wallacea) and Asian Russia. A data review confirmed the presence of 228 native and 3 non-native Unionida (98% Unionid...
Phylogeny of the most species-rich freshwater bivalve family (Bivalvia: Unionid...
Lima, Manuel Lopes; Froufe, Elsa; Do, Van Tu; Ghamizi, Mohamed; Mock, Karen E.; Kebapçı, Ümit; Klishko, Olga; Kovitvadhi, Satit; Kovitvadhi, UthaiwanFreshwater mussels of the order Unionida are key elements of freshwater habitats and are responsible for important ecological functions and services. Unfortunately, these bivalves are among the most threatened freshwater taxa in the world. However, conservation planning and management are hindered by taxonomic problems and a lack of detailed ecological data. This highlights the urgent need for advances in the a...
