Using DNA barcoding to differentiate invasive Dreissena species (Mollusca, Bivalvia) by Jonathan Marescaux, Karine Van Doninck

“…The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) and the quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) are considered as the most competitive invaders in freshwaters of Europe and North America. Although shell characteristics exist to differentiate both species, phenotypic plasticity in the genus Dreissena does not always allow a clear identification. …”

X-ray phase technology shed new light on Weberian apparatus evolution: context and aim of the case study of †Chanoides (Otophysi, incertae sedis) by Tristan Martial, Mayrinck Diogo, Boistel Renaud, Otero Olga

“…In the 1980’s passionate debates concerned the otophysan radiation and notably their primary habitat: are they primitively freshwaters or marine animals? To answer we need to better understand the phylogenetic relationships including those of the fossils and thus we need to enhance our knowledge on key bony structures such as the Weberian Apparatus. …”
