Unexpected Covariances between Shell Growth Parameters are Controlling the Range of Interspecific Variations of Shell shape in the Deep-Sea Clams Genus Calyptogena (Bivalvia: Veneroida)

Jean Béguinot · Asian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Research · 2018

In Bivalves, shell shape descriptors (in particular, elongation E, dissymmetry D, ventral convexity K) are considered functionally-relevant parameters, each of them likely being exposed to specific selective pressures, according to environmental conditions. Indeed, previous inves...
