Phylogenetic Assessment of Freshwater Mussels <i>Castalia ambigua</i> and <i>C. inflata</i> at an Ecotone in the Paraguay River Basin, Brazil Shows that Inflated and Compressed Shell Morphotypes Are the Same Species

Phylogenetic Assessment of Freshwater Mussels <i>Castalia ambigua</i> and <i>C. inflata</i> at an Ecotone in the Paraguay River Basin, Brazil Shows that Inflated and Compressed Shell Morphotypes Are the Same Species

The phylogeny and taxonomy of freshwater mussels of the genus <i>Castalia</i> in South America is complicated by issues of morphological plasticity and limited molecular genetic data. We present field data on the distributions of the nominal <i>Castalia ambigua</i> and <i&...
