	abstract = {An approximately 400-bp-long portion of the 16s rRNA gene sequence has been determined for the venerid clams Chamelea gallina (Chioninae), Dosinia lupinus (Dosiniinae), Pitar rudis, Callista chione (Pitarinae), Tapes decussatus, T. philippinarum, Venerupis (= Paphia) aurea (Tapetinae), and Venus verrucosa (Venerinae). 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 = {The complete nucleotide sequence of the 18S subunit of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was determined for the venerid clams Callista chione (Pitarinae) and Venus verrucosa (Venerinae). Comparison of the new sequences with the published sequences of 1 annelid, 2 gastropods, 2 polyplacophorans, and 19 bivalves showed that when the annelids are used as outgroup the gastropods diverge from the bivalves, which form a cluster including the polyplacophorans. When the gastropods alone were compared with the bivalves, the latter split in two groups corresponding to the two subclasses of Heterodonta and Pteriomorpha. The former include two taxa that diverged early, Galeomma and Tridacna, while the Veneridae and Mactridae form two sister groups. In contrast to previous reports and in line with morphological data, the Ostreidae are included in the Pteriomorphia and form a monophyletic group.},
