“…The great expansion of its excretory sac may explain its adaptation and resistance to prolonged periods of drought. Among Dreissenidae, we only know of the biology of Mytilopsis lopesi Alvarenga & Ricci, 1989. In this species, the embryos grow attached to the mantle in the pallial cavity until the juvenile stage, with no synchronous release (Mansur et al, 2012a). A. fluviatilis is known from the Amazon River in Brazil and Peru (Simone, 1999).…”

“…Regarding Dreissenidae, the native M. lopesi, from the lower part of the Amazon River and Tocantins/ Araguaia Rivers is adapted to freshwater forming small and low clusters on submerged rocks (Alvarenga & Ricci, 1989). Embryos and larvae develop outside the gills, inside the pallial cavity, fixed to the mantle of parental individuals, and are released as they are young (Mansur, 2012).…”

Bivalve distribution in hydrographic regions in South America: historical overview and conservation

et al. 2013

Based on literature review and malacological collections, 168 native freshwater bivalve and five invasive species have been recorded for 52 hydrographic regions in South America. The higher species richness has been detected in the South Atlantic, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Amazon Brazilian hydrographic regions. Presence or absence data were analysed by Principal Coordinate for Phylogeny-Weighted. The lineage Veneroida was more representative in hydrographic regions that are poorer in species and located West of South America. The Mycetopodidae and Hyriidae lineages were predominant in regions that are richest in species toward the East of the continent. The distribution of invasive species Limnoperna fortunei is not related to species richness in different hydrographic regions there. The species richness and its distribution patterns are closely associated with the geological history of the continent. The hydrographic regions present distinct phylogenetic and species composition regardless of the level of richness. Therefore, not only should the richness be considered to be a criterion for prioritizing areas for conservation, but also the phylogenetic diversity of communities engaged in services and functional aspects relevant to ecosystem maintenance.

Ocorrência do bivalve exótico Mytilopsis leucophaeta (Conrad) (Mollusca, Bivalvia), no Brasil

2005

O molusco Mytilopsis leucophaeta (Conrad, 1831), natural da América do Norte, foi localizado no litoral de Pernambuco, Brasil, em 2004, trazido provavelmente por água de lastro de navios. Na região, sua distribuição atualmente abrange zonas estuarinas adjacentes ao Porto do Recife. Os organismos foram encontrados restritos à região entre-marés, formando agregados densos com até 176.800 ind./m².
