“…The fossil record indicates that lucinids have been present at putative hydrocarbon seeps since at least the late Jurassic (Gaillard et al ., 1992; Kiel et al ., 2010), through the Cretaceous with Ezolucina , Nipponothracia , and Nymphalucina species (Speden, 1970; Kauffman et al ., 1996; Kelly et al ., 2000; Amano et al ., 2008; Kiel, Amano & Jenkins, 2008), and in the Cenozoic with, for example, species of Cryptolucina , Nipponothracia , Megaxinus , and Lucinoma (Taviani, 1994; Saul, Squires & Godert, 1996; Majima et al ., 2003; Campbell, 2006; Kase, Kurihara & Hagino, 2007).…”

A new molecular phylogeny of the chemosymbiotic bivalve family Lucinidae is presented. Using sequences from the nuclear 18S and 28S rRNA genes and the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b, 105 specimens were analysed representing 87 separate species classified into 47 genera. Samples were collected from a wide range of habitats including mangroves, seagrass beds, shallow sands, offshore muds, and hydrocarbon seeps at depths ranging from the intertidal to over 2000 m. A chronogram, derived from the combined molecular tree, was calibrated using ten lucinid fossils. The trees show five well-supported clades and two single branches of Fimbria fimbriata (Linnaeus, 1758) and Monitilora ramsayi (Smith, 1885). A new classification of Lucinidae is proposed with seven subfamilial divisions: three new subfamilies -Pegophyseminae, Leucosphaerinae, and Monitilorinae -are introduced and Codakiinae, usually treated as a synonym of Lucininae, is revived to include the Lucinoma, Codakia, and Ctena subclades. Membership of the Lucininae and Myrteinae is considerably revised compared with Chavan's commonly employed 'Treatise' classification. Previously considered as a separate family, Fimbriinae is now regarded as a subfamily within Lucinidae. The status of Milthinae is presently equivocal pending further analysis and Divaricellinae is recognized as polyphyletic, and is therefore abandoned, with species and genera now grouped in various places within the Lucininae. Deeper water Lucinidae mainly belong to Leucosphaerinae, Codakiinae (Lucinoma clade), and Myrteinae, with Lucinoma species being most frequently associated with hydrocarbon seeps. Species occurring in seagrass habitats derive largely from Pegophyseminae, Codakiinae, and Lucininae, and species from mangrove habitats derive from the Pegophyseminae and Lucininae.

“…Although Lucinoma-like lucinids first appeared in the Palaeocene in shallow water deposits (Taylor et al, 2011), and possibly as a sister clade to Saxolucina, they have been associated with fossil deep-water hydrocarbon seeps ever since the Oligocene, for example Lucinoma hannibali (Kiel, 2010;Nesbit, Martin & Campbell, 2013) and in the Italian Miocene Lucinoma perusina (Moroni, 1966). Massive accumulations are recorded at some fossil seep sites in the Miocene and Pliocene of Japan with inferred palaeodepths of 50-300 m (Majima et al, 2003;Majima, Nobuhara & Kitazaki, 2005). An earlier history of the Lucinoma clade is possible because 'Lucina' or 'Mesomiltha' concinna (Damon, 1860) from the black, hypoxic, late Jurassic, Kimmeridge Clay of England (Wignall, 1990) is remarkably similar to Lucinoma in shell morphology, although further investigation is necessary.…”

Diversification of chemosymbiotic bivalves: origins and relationships of deeper water Lucinidae

Although species of the chemosymbiotic bivalve family Lucinidae are often diverse and abundant in shallow water habitats such as seagrass beds, new discoveries show that the family is equally speciose at slope and bathyal depths, particularly in the tropics, with records down to 2500 m. New molecular analyses including species from habitats down to 2000 m indicate that these cluster in four of seven recognized subfamilies: Leucosphaerinae, Myrteinae, Codakiinae, and Lucininae, with none of these comprising exclusively deep-water species. Amongst the Leucosphaerinae, Alucinoma, Epidulcina, Dulcina, and Myrtina live mainly at depths greater than 200 m. Most Myrteinae inhabit water depths below 100 m, including Myrtea, Notomyrtea, Gloverina, and Elliptiolucina species. In the Codakinae, only the Lucinoma clade live in deep water; Codakia and Ctena clades are largely restricted to shallow water. Lucininae are the most speciose of the subfamilies but only four species analyzed, Troendleina sp., 'Epicodakia' falkandica, Bathyaustriella thionipta, and Cardiolucina quadrata, occur at depths greater than 200 m. Our results indicate that slope and bathyal lucinids have several and independent originations from different clades with a notable increased diversity in Leucosphaerinae and Myrteinae. Some of the deep-water lucinids (e.g. Elliptiolucina, Dulcina, and Gloverina) have morphologies not seen in shallow water species, strongly suggesting speciation and radiation in these environments. By contrast, C. quadrata clusters with a group of shallow water congenors. Although not well investigated, offshore lucinids are usually found at sites of organic enrichment, including sunken vegetation, oxygen minimum zones, hydrocarbon seeps, and sedimented hydrothermal vents. The association of lucinids with hydrocarbon seeps is better understood and has been traced in the fossil record to the late Jurassic with successions of genera recognized; Lucinoma species are particularly prominent from the Oligocene to present day.

“…They yield unique information about fluid discharge, migration paths, and tectonicsedimentary controls of seepage over geologic time. Fossil sites are often related to convergent margins and accretionary wedges, and also show evidence of slumps and sediment instability (Goedert and Squires, 1990;Clari et al, 1994;Terzi et al, 1994;Goedert and Campbell, 1995;Kelly et al, 1995;Harding, 1998;Conti and Fontana, 2002b;Majima et al, 2003;Schwartz et al, 2003). Seep-carbonate mineralogy and morphology are quite varied and complex: in that composition is primarily calcite, Mg-calcite, aragonite and dolomite; and morphology is irregular, reflecting the cementation and impregnation of terrigenous sediments.…”
