dc.description.abstractTwo Unionida (freshwater mussel) families are present in the Northern Hemisphere; the Margaritiferidae, representing the most threatened of unionid families, and the Unionidae, which include several genera of unresolved taxonomic placement. The recent reassignment of the poorly studied Lamprotula rochechouartii from the Unionidae to the Margaritiferidae motivated a new search for other potential species of margaritiferids from members of Gibbosula and Lamprotula. Based on molecular and morphological analyses conducted on newly collected specimens from Vietnam, we here assign Gibbosula crassa to the Margaritiferidae. Additionally, we reanalyzed all diagnostic characteristics of the Margaritiferidae and examined museum specimens of Lamprotula andGibbosula.As a result, two additional speciesarealsomovedtotheMargaritiferidae, i.e.Gibbosula confragosa and Gibbosula polysticta. We performed a robust five marker phylogeny with all available margaritiferid species and discuss the taxonomy within the family. The present phylogeny reveals the division of Margaritiferidae into four ancient clades with distinct morphological, biogeographical and ecological characteristics that justify the division of the Margaritiferidae into two subfamilies (Gibbosulinae and Margaritiferinae) and four genera (Gibbosula, Cumberlandia, Margaritifera, and Pseudunio). The systematics of the Margaritiferidae family is redefined as well as their distribution, potential origin and main biogeographic patterns.en_EN
dc.description.sponsorshipThe authors would like to thank the editor Dr. Perez-Losada and two anonymous reviewers for their valuable suggestions and comments. M. Caballer MNHN e-RECOLNAT (ANR-11-INBS-0004) and Ms. Virginie Heros, Mollusks, Museum national d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris are acknowledged for the photographs of the types of Unio mansuyi, Unio rochechouartii, and Unio affinis used in this paper and their assistance with specimens in their collection. Ms. Krasimira (Kasey) Seizova, Drexel University Co-op student working in the Malacology Department, Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, Philadelphia took the photographs of the type specimen of Gibbosula confragosa. These pictures were taken for the ANSP type project and used with the permission of Dr. Gary Rosenberg. Pictures of the NCSM specimen of Gibbosula crassa were taken by Ms. Raquel Fagundo and Ms. Joanna Cox; those of the Margaritiferid hinge plates were taken by Macauley Whiting, all in the Non-Molluscan Invertebrate Unit, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh, NC with permission of Dr. Bronwyn Williams. Jeffrey T. Garner, Florence, Alabama provided assistance with the USNM ledgers. He Jing, Shell Discoveries and ConchBooks are acknowledged for the permission to reproduce the figures from Qian et al. 2015 for the description of Gibbosula nanningensis.
