Towards a molecular phylogeny of Mollusks: Bivalves' early evolution as revealed by mitochondrial genes
F Plazzi, M Passamonti - Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010 - Elsevier
Despite huge fossil, morphological and molecular data, bivalves' early evolutionary history is
still a matter of debate: recently, established phylogeny has been mostly challenged by DNA …

Resolving the relationships of clams and cockles: dense transcriptome sampling drastically improves the bivalve tree of life
Bivalvia has been the subject of extensive recent phylogenetic work to attempt resolving
either the backbone of the bivalve tree using transcriptomic data, or the tips using morpho …

A family-level tree of life for bivalves based on a Sanger-sequencing approach
The systematics of the molluscan class Bivalvia are explored using a 5-gene Sanger-based
approach including the largest taxon sampling to date, encompassing 219 ingroup species …

Bivalvia—a discussion of known unknowns
Bivalves share many of the “deeper” questions with the other molluscan groups-issues such
as their origin and sister-group relationships within the Mollusca, and their suitability to …

Phylogenetic analysis of four nuclear protein-encoding genes largely corroborates the traditional classification of Bivalvia (Mollusca)
Revived interest in molluscan phylogeny has resulted in a torrent of molecular sequence
data from phylogenetic, mitogenomic, and phylogenomic studies. Despite recent progress …

VL González, G Giribet - Zoologica Scripta, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The bivalve clade Heterodonta encompasses more than half of the extant bivalve species
and is presently considered a derived group of the modern bivalves (Newell; Waller) …

Into the deep: a phylogenetic approach to the bivalve subclass Protobranchia
A molecular phylogeny of Protobranchia, the subclass of bivalve mollusks sister to the
remaining Bivalvia, has long proven elusive, because many constituent lineages are deep …
