Mitogenomic phylogeny and fossil-calibrated mutation rates for all F- And M-typ...
Zieritz, Alexandra; Froufe, Elsa; Bolotov, Ivan; Gonçalves, Duarte V.; Aldridge, David C.; Bogan, Arthur E.; Gan, Han Ming; Gomes-Dos-Santos, AndréThe Unionidae represent an excellent model taxon for unravelling the drivers of freshwater diversity, but, phylogeographic studies on Southeast Asian taxa are hampered by lack of a comprehensive phylogeny and mutation rates for this fauna. We present complete female- (F) and male-type (M) mitogenomes of four genera of the Southeast Asian clade Contradentini+Rectidentini. We calculate substitution rates for the ...
The role of anthropogenic habitats in freshwater mussel conservation
Sousa, Ronaldo Gomes; Halabowski, Dariusz; Labecka, Anna M.; Douda, Karel; Aksenova, Olga; Bespalaya, Yulia; Bolotov, Ivan; Geist, JuergenAnthropogenic freshwater habitats may provide undervalued prospects for long-term conservation as part of species conservation planning. This fundamental, but overlooked, issue requires attention considering the pace that humans have been altering natural freshwater ecosystems and the accelerated levels of biodiversity decline in recent decades. We compiled 709 records of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia, Unionida)...
