“…Some members of Veneridae occupy diverse habitats including shallow sublittoral reefs, sandy bays and coarse substrates of the continental shelves, and a smaller number of species were restricted to deeper waters (Harte, 1998; Kappner & Bieler, 2006; Kondo, 1998). Studies on Veneridae have focused on diverse aspects of their biology, including fisheries (Baeta et al., 2018), aquaculture (Covernton et al., 2019; Medhioub et al., 2017), disease (Rahmani et al., 2019; Yang et al., 2017) and perhaps most prominently genetics and evolutionary biology (Kappner & Bieler, 2006; Ghiselli et al, 2012; Salvi & Mariottini, 2012; Chacón et al., 2020) due to its biological diversity and economical importance.…”

Veneridae is one of the most diverse families of bivalve molluscs. However, their phylogenetic relationships among subfamilies have been debated for years. To explore phylogenetic relationships of Veneridae, we sequenced 13 complete mitochondrial genome sequences from eight subfamilies and compared with available complete mitochondrial genome of other Veneridae taxa (18 previously reported sequences). Phylogenetic analyses using probabilistic methods recovered two highly supported clades. In addition, the protein‐coding gene order revealed a highly conserved pattern among the same subclade lineages. According to our molecular analyses, Tapetinae should be recognized as a valid subfamily, but the genera formed para‐polyphyletic clades. Chioninae was recovered not monophyletic that differs from a previously molecular phylogeny. Furthermore, the reconstructed chronogram calibrated with fossils recovered the Veneridae have originated during the early Permian (about 290 million years ago). Noticeably, programmed frameshift was found in the nad4 gene of Leukoma jedoensis, Anomalodiscus squamosus and Antigona lamellaris and cob gene of L. jedoensis. This is the first time that the presence of the programmed frameshift has been found in the protein‐coding genes of Heterodonta species. Our results improved the phylogenetic resolution within Veneridae, and a more taxonomic sampling analysis of the subfamily Chioninae is supposed to construct.

“…Male-type mtDNA was almost up to twice as polymorphic as its female counterpart, with more haplotypes, more haplotypes represented by a single male and more segregating sites. Higher polymorphism in the M-type mtDNA, both within and between species (Skibinski et al 1999), is a common feature among DUI species, as reported in Polititapes rhombroides (Chacon et al 2020), Pyganodon grandis (Krebs 2004) and Mytilus sp . (Ort and Pogson 2003; Smietanka et al 2009, 2013, 2017).…”

Doubly Uniparental Inheritance (DUI) of mitochondria is a remarkable exception to the Strictly Maternal Inheritance (SMI) in metazoans. In species characterized by DUI --almost exclusively gonochoric bivalve mollusks--, females (F) transmit mitochondria to offspring of both sexes, while males (M) pass on their mitochondria exclusively to their sons. Under DUI, males are heteroplasmic, somatic tissues containing F-transmitted mtDNA and gametic cells containing M-transmitted mtDNAs. The aforementioned transmission routes make M- and F-transmitted mtDNA interesting as sex-specific markers which can differ in their effective population sizes, mutation rates, and selective constraints. For these reasons, looking at both markers can provide significant insight into the genetic structure of populations and investigate its determinants. In this study, we document differences in genetic diversity, divergence, inter-populational genetic differentiation and biogeographic structure between M- and F-type cox1 mt genes in the Baltic tellin (Limecola balthica) to test whether cox1m and cox1f genes bear the marks of similar phylogeographic histories. Both markers were sequenced for 313 male individuals sampled from the Baltic Sea to the Gironde Estuary (Southern France). Haplotype diversity and net divergence were over twice higher in cox1m compared to cox1f. A strong southward decrease in nucleotide diversity was observed only at cox1m. Genetic differentiation between northern and southern populations was nearly 3 times higher at cox1m compared to cox1f (global phiST = 0.447 and 0.126 respectively) and the geographic localization of the strongest genetic break significantly differed between the markers (Finistere Peninsula at cox1f; Cotentin Peninsula at cox1m). A higher mutation rate, relaxed negative selective pressure and differences in effective population sizes (depending on locations) at cox1m could explain differences in population genetic structure. As both F- and M-type mtDNAs interact with nuclear genes for oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production, geographical discordances in genetic clines could be linked to mito-nuclear genetic incompatibilities in this system.

“…DUI is defined by the existence of a female (‘F’) mitochondrial genome transmitted from mothers to both daughters and sons, and a male (‘M’) mitochondrial genome exclusively transmitted from fathers to sons. This intriguing inheritance pattern has been observed in several bivalve species, including the Veneridae family (Chacón et al ., 2020). The potential presence of DUI sex-linked mitochondrial DNA should be carefully considered, as it may lead to inaccurate clustering and false calculation in population genetics indices.…”

Bivalve molluscs are a diverse group of animals with particular economic and ecological importance. Their morphological characteristics frequently confuse their identification leading to mislabelling of edible species. Genetic diversity is critical to the resilience of marine bivalve populations in the face of environmental stressors such as ocean acidification and warming. In this study, we characterized the phylogeny and defined the first DNA barcodes of six marine bivalves [Ostrea edulis (Linnaeus, 1758) Arca noae (Linnaeus, 1758), Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814), Venus verrucosa (Linnaeus, 1758), Calllista chione (Linnaeus, 1758) and Ruditapes decussatus (Linnaeus, 1758)] sampled from different coastal areas of Aegean and Ionian Seas using the molecular markers cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA). Further, COI gene was employed to investigate the population genetic diversity since 18S rRNA exhibited no conspecific differences. The sequence of 18S rRNA successfully discriminated the bivalves at family or superfamily level but occasionally proved insufficient for species identification. Contrariwise, COI was highly informative and could reliably distinguish all species. Population haplotype diversity was moderate to high and was always accompanied by generally low nucleotide diversity, indicating genetically closely related haplotypes. The invasive Pinctada radiata was found to be panmictic even among distant sampling areas, while Ostrea edulis was the only species that exhibited moderate levels of population subdivision. Finally, here we report for the first time the presence of Ostrea stentina in Thermaikos Gulf sampled among Ostrea edulis specimens, demonstrating a new invasive bivalve species in Eastern Mediterranean.
