The pill clams Pisidium chilense (d'Orbigny, 1846) and Pisidium huillichum (Ituarte, 1999) showed a 2C DNA content of 4.04 ± 0.4 pg and 2.35 ± 0.24 pg, respectively. The somatic DNA content of these 2 Chilean Pisidium Pfeiffer 1821 species is within the range described previously for diploid Hete...

Laboratory experiments were carried out to evaluate juvenile and adult mortality in Musculium argentinum over a given period of time. Specimens of M. argentinum were collected in May 2009 from the evacuation channel of the Lautaro fish farm, Araucania Region, Chile (38 degrees 32' S, 72 degrees 2...

This study reports the present distribution range of Musculium argentinum (D'Orbigny, 1835) and Musculium patagonicum Pilsbry, 1911 in Chile, from sampling data carried out from 2002 to 2006. Morphological and biometric characteristics of the studied populations show that M. argentinum is discont...

PRESENT RECORD OF SPECIES OF MUSCULIUM LINK, 1807 (BIVALVIA: SPHAERIIDAE) IN CHILE WITH NOTES ON ITS MORPHOLOGY AND BIOMETRY OF ITS POPULATIONS
Life histories and population dynamics of two populations of Musculium argentinum, one inhabiting a fluvial environment and the other a lacustrine one, are compared. Musculium argentinum is oviparous, iteroparous, and sequential incubator, reproducing throughout the year. The life cycle pattern o...

LIFE HISTORIES AND DYNAMICS OF STREAM AND LACUSTRINE POPULATIONS OF MUSCULIUM ARGENTINUM (D'ORBIGNY, 1842) (BIVALVIA: SPHAERIIDAE) FROM SOUTHERN CHILE
Sphaerids have adopted a variety of life strategies that have allowed them to show a cosmopolitan distribution. Among these strategies, those related to reproduction, such as sexuality (hermaphroditism), offspring incubation, fertility, number of generations per year, times an individual reproduc...
