Abstract
The ploidy between invasive Corbicula lineages can be di-, tri-, and tetraploid. Currently, some invasive populations of this genus remain unaffected by cytogenetic studies. In this study, we determined the chromosome set of invasive C. fluminalis (O. F. Muller, 1774) from Northern European Russia. According to our results, the chromosome set C. fluminalis consists of 54 chromosomes, which can be divided into 18 groups of 3 phenotypically identical chromosomes. Among them we can distinguish 3 metacentric chromosomes, 15 submetacentric chromosomes and 36 subtelo-acrocentric chromosomes.
期刊介绍:
Ecologica Montenegrina (ISSN 2336-9744 (online) | ISSN 2337-0173 (print)) is peer-reviewed journal in which scientific articles and reports are quickly published. The papers are in the fields of taxonomy, biogeography and ecology (for example: new taxa for science, taxonomic revision, and/or fundamental ecology and biogeography papers). Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
