Evolution of Bivalvia: Multi-level phylogenetic and phylogenomic reconstructions within Bivalvia (Mollusca) with emphasis on resolving familial relationships within Archiheterodonta (Bivalvia: Heterodonta).

With an estimated 8,000-20,000 species, bivalves represent the second largest living class of molluscs (Bieler et al. 2013).
