Molecular phylogeny and divergence time estimates for native giant clams (Cardiidae: Tridacninae) in the Asia-Pacific: Evidence from mitochondrial genomes and nuclear 18S rRNA genes

Molecular phylogeny and divergence time estimates for native giant clams (Cardiidae: Tridacninae) in the Asia-Pacific: Evidence from mitochondrial genomes and nuclear 18S rRNA genes

Giant clams are conspicuous bivalves that inhabit in coral reefs. Among the giant clams, eight species of subfamily Tridacninae are the most common in the Asia-Pacific. However, very little is known about their evolutionary history. Here, we determined the complete mitochondria genome of Hippopus po...
