Molecular data are now commonly used in taxonomy for delimiting cryptic species. In the
case of giraffes, which were treated as a single species (Giraffa camelopardalis) during half …

Here, we investigate the shell shape variation of some closely related freshwater species of
the bivalve genus Corbicula using descriptive (qualitative), geometric morphometric and …

Aim To date, few studies have examined the phylogenetics of Corbicula clams in their native
range and the environmental parameters influencing their distribution, although this could …

Currently, the validity of many nominal bivalve species of the genus Corbicula endemic to
the Russian Far East and South Korea needs a critical reassessment. In this study, we clarify …

We use genomic information to tell us stories of evolutionary origins. But what does it mean
when different genomes report wildly different accounts of lineage history? This genomic …

The Corbicula clam is one of the most successful invaders of aquatic ecosystems and has
invaded all continents except Antarctica. The natural dispersion of Corbicula seems to be …

Marine ecosystems in temperate regions have been significantly affected by rising seawater
temperatures due to climate change. Alveopora japonica, a small zooxanthellate …

Despite the full attention of malacologists to the study of Corbicula clams, stimulated mainly
due to their high invasive potential and unique breeding system, studies based on an …

Habitat transitions in living organisms are key innovations often coupled with species
diversification after their successful adaptation to new environment. The Cyrenidae is among …

Among species of Corbicula, only the hermaphroditic androgenetic lineages are invasive
while sexual species are restricted to the native range (mainly Asia). Four androgenetic …
