“…As the primer pairs, we used LCO 1490 and HCO2198 for the COI gene fragment (Folmer et al, 1994), and C1 and D2 for the 28S gene fragment (Jovelin & Justine, 2001; Table 2). PCR and sequence protocols were as described in our previous work (Bespalaya et al., 2018). The resulting sequences were controlled visually with a sequence alignment editor BioEdit version 7.2.5 (Hall, 1999).…”

“…To analyze the phylogeographic pattern of COI haplotypes in Corbicula species, we used a sequence dataset from earlier works (Bespalaya et al., 2018; Glaubrecht et al., 2003; Iida et al, 2012; Lee et al, 2005; Park & Kim, 2003; Pfenninger et al., 2002; Pigneur et al., 2011, 2014; Siripattrawan et al, 2000; Von Rintelen & Glaubrecht, 2006; Yamada et al, 2014) with addition of the newly generated sequences (Table and Alignment ). The amplicon length of COI was 709 bp (length without primers 658 bp) and that of 28S was 806 bp (length without primers 770 bp).…”

North Sumatra's Lake Toba is a famous example of a supervolcano caldera, being the world's deepest and largest crater lake. It has been originated since the massive Toba eruption of 74,000 years ago that coincides with global environmental shifts and a significant bottleneck in the global human population. While the freshwater fauna of this lake does not share high levels of endemism, there is Corbicula tobae, an Asian clam species that was described as a taxon endemic to Lake Toba. Here we confirm the validity of this species using morphological, anatomical, and DNA‐based evidences, although the general species‐level concept for this genus is yet to be developed. Additionally, Corbicula leana, a widespread invasive species, was recorded from Lake Toba for the first time. These two species living in sympatry in Lake Toba appear to exploit different ecological niches within the lake.

“…fluminea has been present in Europe (Portugal and France) since at least the early 1980s (Mouthon, 1981, see Sousa et al 2008a for a complete invasion history). Its invaded geographic area appears to be expanding within regions it has already successfully colonised (e.g., Spain-Zamora-Marín et al 2018), encompassing wide climatic conditions from semiarid northern Africa (Morocco, Clavero et al 2012) to northern Europe (North Russia- Bespalaya et al 2018), with further expansions predicted due to climate change (Gama et al 2017).…”

Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) (Mollusca, Corbiculidae) is among the most successful and widespread invaders of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Given its wide geographical distribution and documented effects on aquatic ecosystems, there is considerable interest in quantifying its behaviour, propagation and control. We conducted a series of laboratory experiments to assess the effects of complete desiccation (aerial exposure at high relative humidity) on a UK population of C. fluminea for: (1) different environmental temperatures (6 scenarios: from cool winter droughts to summer heatwave thermal conditions); and (2) two size classes ([ 1 cm and B 1 cm). A mortality rate of 100% was obtained for all experiments, except the lowest temperature scenario of 4°C. For both high-temperature scenarios (25 and 30°C) 100% mortality was recorded after 48 h, and an elevated mortality rate recorded after 24 h. An extended period of desiccation of 5-6 days would be necessary to reach a mortality rate of 90% at 15°C and 3.5 days at 20°C. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant effect of temperature on mortality, but both size classes displayed similar responses to desiccation. The greatest difference in mortality was recorded between the highest and lowest experimental temperatures. C. fluminea was particularly tolerant to desiccation when low temperature and high humidity conditions coincided, suggesting it could potentially spread to regions beyond its current eco-geographical range. The results will be of direct interest for regulatory authorities considering desiccation (and water level management) as a means of managing and preventing the further spread of this species.

“…However, the phylogenetic relationships among the invasive clonal lineages worldwide are poorly supported in both nuclear and mt datasets (Lee et al, 2005; Hedtke et al, 2008; Hedtke, Glaubrecht & Hillis, 2011; Pigneur et al, 2012, 2014). There is evidence of hybridization between forms with heterozygous genotypes found in some specimens, e.g., heterozygous sequences were documented for nuclear 28S genotypes between clonal lineages B and C from Iguazu Falls in South America (Lee et al, 2005), Forms A and C in the Ebro River delta, Spain (Peñarrubia et al, 2017), and between Forms R and S from Northern Russia (Bespalaya et al, 2018) and Pigneur et al (2014) found evidence of hybridization between Forms A and B in the Ohio River and between A and C in the River Seine using microsatellite loci. In addition, these asexual invasive Corbicula lineages appear capable, in at least some cases, of parasitizing the eggs of other co-occurring clones where the sperm of one clone “steals” the eggs, and thus the mitochondria, of another clone (Lee et al, 2005; Hedtke, Glaubrecht & Hillis, 2011; Pigneur et al, 2014; Tiemann et al, 2017).…”

The genus Corbicula consists of estuarine or freshwater clams native to temperate/tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Australia that collectively encompass both sexual species and clonal (androgenetic) lineages. The latter have become globally invasive in freshwater systems and they represent some of the most successful aquatic invasive lineages. Previous studies have documented four invasive clonal lineages, Forms A, B, C, and Rlc, with varying known distributions. Form A (R in Europe) occurs globally, Form B is found solely in North America, mainly the western United States, Form C (S in Europe) occurs both in European watersheds and in South America, and Rlc is known from Europe. A putative fifth invasive morph, Form D, was recently described in the New World from the Illinois River (Great Lakes watershed), where it occurs in sympatry with Forms A and B. An initial study showed Form D to be conchologically distinct: possessing rust-colored rays and white nacre with purple teeth. However, its genetic distinctiveness using standard molecular markers (mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and nuclear ribosomal 28S RNA) was ambiguous. To resolve this issue, we performed a phylogenomic analysis using 1,699–30,027 nuclear genomic loci collected via the next generation double digested restriction-site associated DNA sequencing method. Our results confirmed Form D to be a distinct invasive New World lineage with a population genomic profile consistent with clonality. A majority (7/9) of the phylogenomic analyses recovered the four New World invasive Corbicula lineages (Forms A, B, C, and D) as members of a clonal clade, sister to the non-clonal Lake Biwa (Japan) endemic, Corbicula sandai. The age of the clonal clade was estimated at 1.49 million years (my; ± 0.401–2.955 my) whereas the estimated ages of the four invasive lineage crown clades ranged from 0.27 to 0.44 my. We recovered very little evidence of nuclear genomic admixture among the four invasive lineages in our study populations. In contrast, 2/6 C. sandai individuals displayed partial nuclear genomic Structure assignments with multiple invasive clonal lineages. These results provide new insights into the origin and maintenance of clonality in this complex system.
