Comparison of the species Sinanodonta amurensis Moskvicheva, 1973 and Sinanodonta primorjensis Bogatov et Zatrawkin, 1988 (Bivalvia: Unionidae: Anodontinae) in view of variability of the mitochondrial DNA cox1 gene and conchological features

Abstract

A comparison of the mitochondrial haplotypes and conchological characteristics of shells made for the first time for two species of anodontin freshwater bivalves from the Asian genus Sinanodonta (S. amurensis and S. primorjensis) has confirmed a similarity of these two taxa. It was shown on the basis of statistical analysis that the discussed taxa possess similar shells and similar genetic haplotypes, and the observed differences in DNA sequences of cox1 and shells relate to intraspecific genetic and geographical variation.
