“…Although the majority of published studies on freshwater mussels have evaluated genetic diversity based mainly on partial distributions (e.g. Nagel et al 1996;Machordom et al 2003;Araujo et al 2005Araujo et al , 2009Geist et al 2010;Prié and Puillandre 2014), recent ones have included detailed phylogeographic data covering entire species ranges (Froufe et al , 2016a. These studies highlighted Iberia, North Africa and the Balkans as primary refugia, in accordance with what has been described for the majority of other taxa (e.g.…”

“…Once again, no geographic structure of genetic variability was depicted in either of the species' haplotype networks. In more detail, the U. mancus network revealed that only the subspecies U. m. requienii and U. m. turtonii, as described by Prié and Puillandre (2014), are present in Italy (Fig. 4b, right).…”

“…Unio elongatulus was only recently discovered by Prié and Puillandre (2014) in Lake Maggiore in Italy. In a recent review of the freshwater mussels of Europe (Lopes-Lima et al 2017b), this distinct Unio species was listed as Unio cf.…”

“…Despite all these uncertainties, U. mancus was listed as Near Threatened in 2014 by the IUCN (Lopes-Lima and Seddon 2014) and is protected in Spain under the name U. elongatulus. On the other hand, no IUCN conservation assessment of U. elongatulus exists to date, since this name has only recently been revived for the Unio population in Lake Maggiore (Prié and Puillandre 2014). There are only a few molecular studies that have included Italian Unio populations.…”

Freshwater mussels of the order Unionida have been dramatically declining globally. Despite their ecological importance, conservation of these animals has been hindered by unresolved taxonomy and a lack of data on the distribution and status of populations, especially in southern Europe. Although the Italian Peninsula has been noted as a centre of endemism and one of the major refugia of the glacial ages for several taxa, few studies have been performed on the genetic diversity of Unionida. Most importantly, the taxonomic status of several freshwater mussel populations of the Italian Peninsula is still unresolved. Here we present the first comprehensive dataset for the Unionida of the region spanning Italy and the coastal Croatian region (west of the Dinaric Alps). In total, Communicated by Robert Cowie.This article belongs to the Topical Collection: Coastal and marine biodiversity. (COI, 16S and 28S). Genetic analyses were performed to understand major phylogenetic and phylogeographic patterns. Seven species were detected: three Anodonta species (A. anatina, A. cygnea and A. exulcerata), two Unio species (U. mancus and U. elongatulus), Microcondylaea bonellii, and the invasive Sinanodonta woodiana. The presence of three endemic species (A. exulcerata, U. elongatulus and M. bonellii) confirms the importance of the region as a centre of endemism for freshwater mussels. The Apennine Mountains act as an important biogeographic barrier. Electronic supplementary material

a b s t r a c tThe Potomida genus (Bivalvia, Unionida) has a Circum-Mediterranean distribution and like other freshwater mussel species, its populations have suffered dramatic declines. Although this genus is currently considered as monotypic, it has a long history of taxonomic revisions and presently many aspects of its systematics and evolutionary history are unclear. We sampled a total of 323 individuals from 39 different sites across the Potomida genus distribution, and sequenced two mitochondrial (16S rDNA and Cytochrome c Oxidase Subunit I) and one nuclear (28S rDNA) genes to clarify its phylogeny and phylogeographic history. Our results show that the genus includes two well-supported clades, one comprising solely the western Mediterranean species Potomida littoralis, and the other including two eastern Mediterranean species, the Greek endemic P. acarnanica and the Anatolian and Middle Eastern P. semirugata. We suggest that Potomida started radiating during the upper Miocene, and that both vicariance and dispersal events shaped the diversification and distribution of the genus along the Mediterranean region. P. littoralis is further divided in two mitochondrial lineages, one restricted to Europe and the other occurring mostly in North Africa. Moreover, some European basins present both lineages in sympatry. The conservation status of the three recognized species should be reevaluated, particularly P. acarnanica, since it is restricted to two Greek river basins presenting a high risk of extinction. Overall, our results clarify some important gaps in knowledge concerning the phylogeny, phylogeography and evolution of the Potomida genus in the Mediterranean region with important taxonomical, ecological and conservational implications.
