A Phylogenetic Perspective on the Evolution of Morphological and Reproductive Characteristics in the Unionoida

  • Chapter
Ecology and Evolution of the Freshwater Mussels Unionoida

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 145))

Abstract

Unionoid bivalves have a long history of classification and reclassification. Pre-Darwin classifications were deductive and artificial, reflecting character selection and weighting. More recent classifications, which should be natural and inductive to reflect phylogeny, reveal a diversity of methodologies and results.
