...Laurie C. Anderson; Frank P. Wesselingh; Joseph H. Hartman Abstract The Corbulidae are one of a handful of a primarily marine bivalve clades that exhibit a remarkable radiation, marked by increased species richness and divergent morphologies, within a long-lived lake. For corbulids...

...LAURIE C. ANDERSON; PETER D. ROOPNARINE Abstract We used 24 fossil and Recent species to construct character states of both composite and exemplar taxa for phylogenetic analyses of Neogene genera and subgenera of the Corbulidae from tropical America. All characters were conchologic and two matrices...

Among gastropod families, DF was generally higher in the Badenian than in the Karpatian, with the exception of the Naticidae. The lowest DF among...

Note that the families Corbulidae and Noetiidae are each strongly dominated by a single species; therefore, the family- and species-level analyses are almost identical. A genus-level analysis was not performed, because most genera are either monospecific...
