	abstract = {Brooding characters have figured prominently in the classification of North American freshwater pearly mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoidea). The purpose of our study was to evaluate phylogenetic hypotheses of brooding character evolution in order to test homology statements suggested by earlier taxonomic systems of the Unionoidea. Parsimony analysis of partial COI sequences from 29 species of freshwater mussels and 13 outgroups were used to derive a phylogeny. Thirteen brooding characters (e.g., brooding period, marsupium arrangement, structure of interlamellar septa, etc.) were traced onto this phylogeny. Results indicate that long-term brooding (bradytictia) is the derived state among North American freshwater mussels: short-term brooding (tachytictia) is plesiomorphic. Bradytictia evolved independently in the Anodontinae and Lampsilini, with unique morphological modifications derived in those clades to facilitate long-term brooding.},

Neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony trees support the results of traditional classification methods at the subfamily level but do not support the concept of a genus Tapes. The transversion divergence rate estimated on the basis of the palaeontological record for the C. gallina/V. verrucosa separation and for the Pitarinae is very close (0.14-0.16\% per Myr, respectively) to that of ungulates and cetaceans, while the Tapetinae exhibit a much higher (0.36\% per Myr) rate.},

	abstract = {Pectinidae is a large bivalve family characterised by almost circular, flat shells. Species are distributed worldwide and fall into three life-styles: swimming, byssally attached to hard substrates, and cemented to rocks with one valve. Despite these very different life strategies, pectinid shells are highly conservative in shape and offer few clues for the unravelling of phylogenetic issues. Consequently, phylogenetic studies based on morphological features have not yielded conclusive results. We thus set out to analyse partial sequences of mitochondrial 12S and 16S rRNA genes from 23 species of 16 genera with molecular techniques. The results are largely in contrast, both at the genus and the subfamily level, with the systematic classifications based on adult morphological characters, whereas they agree with the morphological classifications based on the more conserved non-adaptive features.
