Abstract
This study of freshwater bivalves of the superfamily Pisidioidea was carried out in small waterbodies and watercourses of the central part of Vologda oblast in 2000–2005. It revealed 24 species from 13 genera and 3 families. The investigated bodies of water were grouped according to the similarity of the mollusk species composition. An analysis of the distribution of ecological and biogeographical groups of Pisidioidea was also made.
