The basic knowledge of freshwater bivalves in the Unionida some regions world is still limited, hindering potential conservation efforts, including Vietnam. A subset these mussels, bivalve tribe Anodontini, especially difficult to properly identify morphologically due intraspecific shell similarity. This study aims define species Anodontini Vietnam and describe their evolutionary relationships ...

The seed morphology of three species belonging to the genus Bromheadia was analyzed under light and scanning electron microscopy. seeds B. cecieliae truncata were studied for first time. Differences in qualitative quantitative characteristics between terrestrial finlaysoniana epiphytes observed, which concordance with life form. Due variability shapes, a new methodology is proposed analyze dist...

Abstract Dendropsophini is a highly diverse clade with controversial phylogenetic and taxonomic history. Different generic arrangements have been proposed the monophyly of several clades supported or rejected. Previous evidence suggested that larval morphology could play an important role in our understanding evolution diversification Dendropsophini, although data are missing for most lineages,...
