Recently, +Pfeiffer et al. (2019) +proposed a taxonomy system of +Unionidae +consisting of five subfamilies based on genomic data, among which +Modellnaiinae +was excluded due to the lack of molecular data for + +Modellnaia siamensis + +limited to +Thailand +. In this study, we obtained completely consistent phylogenetic relationships at the subfamily level based on comprehensive mitogenomes, e.g., +Ambleminae ++( +Gonideinae ++ ( +Unioninae ++ +Parreysiinae +)). + + + +Fig. 5 +Fossil-calibrated phylogeny based on the three-gene dataset. Node bars denote the mean ages of 95% highest posterior density (HPD). Fossil calibrations are marked by star signs. Mya, million years ago + + + +Although the taxonomic position of the genus + +Lepidodesma + +at the subfamily level is definite, its classification at the tribe level remains controversial. According to the published literature on morphological characteristics, +Graf and Cummings (2007) +classified +Unioninae +into two tribes: +Unionini +and +Anodontini +, and assigned the genus + +Lepideodesma + +to +Unionini +. With the application of molecular techniques, the taxonomic position of + +Lepidodesma +species + +at the subfamily level has been determined based on mitochondrial genome data ( +Huang et al., 2002 +; +Wen et al., 2017 +; +Zhou et al., 2016 +). However, due to insufficient molecular data, inadequate taxon sampling, and low node support, the phylogenetic position of + +Lepidodesma + +in the infra-subfamily remains unresolved. Based on the mitochondrial genome, +Huang et al. (2019) +considered that the genus + +Lepidodesma + +could not be classified into any known tribe of +Unioninae +, thus necessitating the description of a new tribe, namely + +Lepidodesmini +Huang and Wu, 2019 + +. Subsequently, +Lopes-Lima et al. (2020) +further supported the classification of the genus + +Lepidodesma + +into +Lepidodesmini +within +Unioninae +based on (COI + 28S rRNA) dataset. However, the aforementioned study solely focused on a single species within + +Lepidodesma + +, and the phylogenetic results at the tribe level of +Unioninae +were not robustly supported. Recently, Graf and Cumming (2021) reaffirmed the classification of + +Lepidodesma + +within +Unionini +. + + +Compared to previous studies, our research utilizes the most comprehensive data by selecting all published complete mitogenomes in +Unionidae +, combined with two new mitochondrial genomes of + +Lepidodesma aligera + +and + +Lepidodesma languilati + +, to construct five phylogenetic trees using multiple datasets and methods. The result demonstrates that + +Lepidodesma + +is the sister species and occupies a basal position in +Unioninae +(BS = 100%, PP = 1.00). Therefore, it is our recommendation that the genus + +Lepidodesma + +be reclassified as +Lepidodesmini +rather than +Unionini +. + + + + + +Endangered status and conservation implications + + + +Freshwater ecosystems are highly vulnerable due to the impact of biotic and abiotic factors, making them one of the most endangered ecosystems on Earth ( +Dudgeon et al., 2006 +; +Sutherland et al., 2022 +; +Vörösmarty et al., 2010 +). In particular, the escalation of anthropogenic activities in recent decades has resulted in alterations and depletion of freshwater mussel habitats ( +Aldridge et al., 2022 +; +Lopes-Lima et al., 2018b +; +Strayer & Dudgeon, 2010 +). It is imperative to conduct species conservation status assessments in order to determine the priority for conserving and protecting freshwater mussels. + + + +Lepidodesma + +, a rare endemic freshwater mussel in +China +( +Liu et al., 1979 +), is distributed in +Jiangxi +, +Hunan +, and +Jiangsu +for + +Lepidodesma aligera + +( +Guo, 2022 +; +Hu, 2005 +), and +Anhui +, +Zhejiang +, +Jiangsu +, +Jiangxi +, +Hubei +, and +Hunan +for + +Lepidodesma languilati +( +Liu et al., 1979 +) + +. Recently, +Liu et al. (2020) +assessed + +L +. +languilati + +as the third priority according to the QASCP. However, the scarcity of + +L. aligera + +in its distribution area makes it extremely challenging to collect specimens, thereby hindering the assessment of its endangered status. Fortunately, we accidentally obtained two live specimens and performed molecular phylogenetic analysis along with an examination of soft-body morphology. According to the conservation assessment method proposed by +Liu et al. (2020) +, our preliminary evaluation ranks + +L. aligera + +as the third priority, alongside + +L. languilati +. + +As a consequence, both species are facing endangerment and require immediate protection. It is imperative that we establish a range of protective measures for these freshwater mussels, such as promoting their significance in conservation efforts and enhancing the quality of their aquatic habitats. Ultimately, this study enhances our comprehension of + +Lepidodesma +species + +, which will aid in managing and safeguarding resources for these rare organisms. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/82/87/03828798FFF70721DECAF96427B10278.xml b/data/03/82/87/03828798FFF70721DECAF96427B10278.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..3bb5149074f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/82/87/03828798FFF70721DECAF96427B10278.xml @@ -0,0 +1,202 @@ + + + +Molecular phylogeny and comparative morphology reveal the species validity and systematic position of Lepidodesma (Bivalvia: Unionidae) + + + +Author + +Wu, Ruiwen +School of Life Science, Shanxi Normal University, Taiyuan 030031, People’s Republic of China +wurw@sxnu.edu.cn & rwwu@qq.com + + + +Author + +Liu, Lili +School of Life Science, Shanxi Normal University, Taiyuan 030031, People’s Republic of China + + + +Author + +Zhang, Liping +School of Life Science, Shanxi Normal University, Taiyuan 030031, People’s Republic of China + + + +Author + +Jin, Dandong +Datian High School, Linhai 317004, People’s Republic of China + + + +Author + +Wu, Xiaoping +School of Life Sciences, Nanchang University, Nanchang 330031, People’s Republic of China + + + +Author + +Liu, Xiongjun +School of Life Science, Jiaying University, Meizhou 514015, People’s Republic of China + + + +Author + +Xie, Zhicai +Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430072, People’s Republic of China + + + +Author + +Li, Zhengfei +Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430072, People’s Republic of China +lizhengfei@ihb.ac.cn + +text + + +Organisms Diversity & Evolution + + +2024 + +New York, N.

Our findings reveal significant variations in the incurrent aperture, excurrent aperture, and gill between + +Lepidodesma aligera + +and + +Lepidodesma languilati + +. Furthermore, we also analyze the genetic variability in the mitochondrial barcode (COI) to enhance the validity of + +L. aligera + +as a distinct species. The average genetic distance between two species is determined to be 4.0%, which is consistent with the established threshold of 3% for defining distinct species ( +Barrett & Hebert, 2005 +; +Hebert et al., 2003 +). Moreover, the time-calibrated trees based on three molecular markers (COI, 16S rRNA, and 28S rRNA) elucidate that + +L +. +languilati + +collected from +Jiangxi +, +Henan +, and +Hunan +and + +L +. +aligera + +collected from +Hunan +congruently retrieved monophyletic, and the divergence between + +L +. +aligera + +and + +L +. +languilati + +occur during the middle of the Neogene (~ 12.94 Mya, 95% HPD= 6.72–22.13 Mya). + + +Integrative taxonomy approaches provide a viable solution to the ongoing debate surrounding morphological species definitions.

Previous studies have classified + +Lepidodesma aligera + +as a variant of + +Lepidodesma languilati + +, attributing potential morphological variations to specific habitats ( + +Heude +, 1877 + +; +Paetel, 1890 +). Integrating morphological, anatomical, and molecular data, we strongly endorse the classification of + +L. aligera + +as a valid species. The well-developed post-dorsal wing with distributed nodules can serve as a diagnostic characteristic to distinguish both species rather than intraspecific variation characteristics. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/FB/21/87/FB2187F6FFC0FFCCFE5DFF7AF6FEFE5D.xml b/data/FB/21/87/FB2187F6FFC0FFCCFE5DFF7AF6FEFE5D.xml index 028d31aa2da..cc166d70584 100644 --- a/data/FB/21/87/FB2187F6FFC0FFCCFE5DFF7AF6FEFE5D.xml +++ b/data/FB/21/87/FB2187F6FFC0FFCCFE5DFF7AF6FEFE5D.xml @@ -1,140 +1,128 @@ - - - -Studies of Ptiliidae (Coleoptera) in the Spirit Collection of the Natural History Museum, London, 6: New species and records collected by W.

Pronotum distinctly domed, broader than long, finely bordered, lateral margins evenly rounded to rounded hind angles, anterior margin narrower than posterior, both posterior and anterior margins slightly sinuous in dorsal view. Scutellum short, very broad anteriorly. Elytra almost quadrate, subtruncate apically, exposing 5 abdominal tergites, reticulate and shallowly foveolate, the setae arising from the barely concave posterior margins of the cells. Proventrum broad in front of procoxae, lacking reticulation medially, with a row of setae along the anterior margin interrupted medially, and of much smaller setae along the underside of the lateral margins. Mesoventrum without pubescence, strongly reticulate throughout, collar without a clearly defined posterior margin, humeri with a small tooth, keel less sharply defined than in - -Ptinella + +Ptinella species, ending in a sharp point between the mesocoxae, mesocoxae contiguous. Metaventrum pubescent and reticulate, without evidence of episternal sutures (lines), metacoxae widely separated. Dimorphism present, the vestigial morph lacking wings and eyes appearing to be the dominant form; the normal morph with eyes and wings. diff --git a/data/FB/21/87/FB2187F6FFDAFFD6FE24FBC4F5DBF99F.xml b/data/FB/21/87/FB2187F6FFDAFFD6FE24FBC4F5DBF99F.xml index 0b6ab5c789c..a92433b621d 100644 --- a/data/FB/21/87/FB2187F6FFDAFFD6FE24FBC4F5DBF99F.xml +++ b/data/FB/21/87/FB2187F6FFDAFFD6FE24FBC4F5DBF99F.xml @@ -1,175 +1,176 @@ - - - -Studies of Ptiliidae (Coleoptera) in the Spirit Collection of the Natural History Museum, London, 6: New species and records collected by W.
