The Santa Cruz Formation (Early–Middle Miocene) is one of the most widespread sedimentary units of the Argentine Patagonia. This unit contains an abundant and taxonomically diverse fossil vertebrate fauna, especially in mammals. Thus, the paleoecological and paleoenvironmental information derives mainly from the analysis of the vertebrate assemblages, as well as from the ichnological and paleobotanical evidence. The record of freshwater bivalves assigned to the species Diplodon cf. colhuapiensis Ihering, 1903 from the Santa Cruz Formation, collected in the locality of Barrancas Blancas (Estancia Santa Lucía), at Río Santa Cruz, allows us to infer the particular paleoenvironmental conditions setting during the deposition of the bearing levels. Considering this record, we propose that Diplodon, which was originally assigned to the “Sehuenense stage” (piso sehuenense of F. Ameghino), could have come from the Early–Middle Miocene of the Santa Cruz Formation. In this sense, the specimens referred to Diplodon cf. colhuapiensis suggest the existence of an established community of Hyriidae mollusks at the upper-middle levels of the Santa Cruz Formation. The presence of freshwater bivalves suggests that the depositional environment of this unit included the existence of water courses. The identification of the genus in the Santa Cruz Formation validates its presence in the Early Miocene and extends its southern distribution to the latitude of Río Santa Cruz (~ 50o S).

Diplodon granosus was one of the first freshwater mussels to be described for South America. However, the status of the species was confusing for a long time, receiving different taxonomic treatments. In this paper, we redescribe the shell, with new data on the soft parts and information on the distribution and conservation of D. granosus, a rarely recorded species. The shell is thin, not inflated; the macrosculpture is composed only by granules that cover the whole shell, not forming bars; the microsculpture comprises short spikes. In the soft parts we highlight the few, weak and irregularly distributed lamellar connections of the outer demibranch and some features of the stomach, such as the distally enlarged minor typhlosole. There are records of D. granosus over a large area of South America, from Guiana to Argentina. However, most of these records are related to other species and the distribution of D. granosus is restricted to the north of South America in the basins of the Amazonas and Orinoco rivers, and coastal rivers in between. Despite this wide distribution, the species occurs in specific habitats, mainly streams (igarapés), resulting in an extremely fragmented occurrence. Thus, any disturbance to these habitats can threat this freshwater mussel. RESUMO Diplodon granosus foi um dos primeiros bivalves de água doce descritos para a América do Sul. Contudo, o status dessa espécie foi confuso por um longo tempo, recebendo diferentes tratamentos taxonômicos. Neste estudo, apresentamos a redescrição da concha, assim como novos dados da anatomia das partes moles, e informações acerca da distribuição e conservação desta espécie raramente avistada. A concha é fina, não-inflada; a macroescultura é composta somente por grânulos que cobrem toda a concha, e não formam raios; a microescultura é composta por espinhos curtos. Nas partes moles, destacamos as poucas, fracas e irregularmente distribuídas conexões interlamelares da demibrânquia externa, assim como algumas características do estômago, como a tiflossole menor distalmente aumentada. Existem registros de D. granosus em uma grande área da América do Sul, da Guiana até a Argentina. Contudo, muitas destas ocorrências são relacionadas com outras espécies, estando D. granosus restrita às bacias dos rios Amazonas e Orinoco, e a rios costeiros entre essas duas bacias. Apesar desta aparente ampla distribuição, a espécie ocorre em habitats específicos, principalmente riachos (igarapés), resultando em uma distribuição fragmentada. Assim, qualquer modificação nestes ambientes pode ameaçar esta espécie.

Se presenta una revisión bibliográfica de los registros del género Diplodon (Spix, 1827) (Hyriidae), presentes en sitios arqueológicos de Chile. Las evidencias indican una efímera presencia de estos bivalvos en contextos arqueológicos de finales del Pleistoceno, mientras que durante gran parte del Holoceno su registro es más significativo. No obstante, sólo algunos sitios arqueológicos muestran su utilización como materia prima y/o recurso alimenticio. Las evidencias arqueológicas de Diplodon muestran similar distribución a la actual. Se discuten algunas implicancias paleoambientales y biogeográficas en relación a su distribución, así como la necesidad de vincular esta información con distintas disciplinas para entender la importancia de su rol en contextos arqueológicos.We review bibliography on genus Diplodon (Spix, 1827) (Hyriidae) records obtained in archaeological contexts in Chile. Evidence indicates an ephemeral late Pleistocene presence of these bivalves, while its record increases significantly during the Holocene. Nevertheless, only few archaeological sites show its use as raw material and/or food resource. Diplodon archaeological evidence is similar to current genus distribution. We discuss some palaeoenvironmental and biogeographical implications of their distribution, as well as the need to relate this information with different disciplines in order to understand its importance in archaeological contexts.

Abstract: The Chilean lake district includes diverse lentic ecosystems along ca. 700km of the country (36°–43°S), including the “Nahuelbutan lakes”, “Araucanian lakes” and “Chiloe lakes”. This area is recognized as an important “hot spot” of benthic freshwater biodiversity in Southern South America. In Chilean temperate lakes, increased nutrient loads of P and N caused eutrophication, particularly in the Nahuelbutan Lakes. The freshwater Hyriidae mussel Diplodon chilensis (Gray, 1828) which is one of the most abundant species in Chilean temperate lakes, is known to be very susceptible to eutrophication. This species presents a clear reduction in its geographic ranges and is considered to be a threatened species in many Chilean lakes. In this study, we used a correlative approach to determine how eutrophication-driven changes in the food supply and in geographical parameters of different Chilean lakes affected the shell growth rates of D. chilensis. The results obtained from sclerochronological analyses of the mussel shells suggest an association with a group of environmental variables, including geographical types (negative), such as latitude and altitude, and limnological types (positive), especially phosphorous and turbidity. However, the D. chilensis populations under extreme conditions of turbidity in eutrophic and hypertrophic lakes are extinct or nearly so. The high positive correlation of the mean D. chilensis growth rates with orthophosphate (R=0.76; P<0.05), in relation to dissolved inorganic nitrogen, suggests that P is the major limiting factor of the primary productivity in Chilean temperate lakes. We discuss some implications of our results in terms of the conservation of biodiversity in temperate lake ecosystems at different taxonomic levels. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

La Formación Santa Cruz (Mioceno Temprano–Medio), es una de las unidades sedimentarias más extendidas de la Patagonia argentina. Esta unidad contiene una gran abundancia y diversidad taxonómica de vertebrados fósiles, especialmente de mamíferos. De esta manera, la información paleoecológica y paleoambiental proviene principalmente del análisis de la asociación de vertebrados, como también la evidencia icnológica y paleobotánica. El registro de bivalvos de agua dulce asignados a la especie Diplodon cf. colhuapiensis Ihering, 1903 de la Formación Santa Cruz, recolectado en la localidad Barrancas Blancas (Estancia Santa Lucía), cerca del Río Santa Cruz, permite inferir las condiciones paleoambientales de la depositación de sedimentos de los niveles portadores de los especímenes. Teniendo en cuenta estos restos, proponemos que el material de Diplodon originalmente asignado al “piso Sehuenense” (piso sehuenense de F. Ameghino), podrían provenir del Mioceno Temprano–Medio de la Formación Santa Cruz. En este sentido, el registro de Diplodon cf. colhuapiensis confirma la existencia de una población establecida de moluscos de la familia Hyriidae en los niveles medio-altos de la Formación Santa Cruz. La presencia de bivalvos de agua dulce, probablemente habitando canales fluviales, sugiere la existencia de cursos de agua bien desarrollados en el ambiente depositacional de la unidad.

Unionida is the most diverse clade of freshwater bivalves. Among the groups occurring in South America, one with the highest number of species is Rhipidodontini (Hyriidae, Unionida, Paleoheterodonta, Bivalvia). However several issues remains on taxonomy and systematic of this group, leading to problems on species identification, description, as also as a limiting factor to other type of studies (e.g., ecology, conservation,…). In this paper is presented a synthesis of available knowledge about Diplodon Spix in Wagner, 1827 and Rhipidodonta Mörch, 1853 in South America, as a first step in order to a better understating of Rhipidodontini. The evaluation of different authors exposes the little agreement between them that resulted in a sort of divergent taxonomical opinions. Some comments on ecology, conservation and habitat preferences were made. This work can also encourage future research on taxonomy, systematic, ecology and conservation of freshwater mussels in South America. Resumo Unionida é o clado mais diverso de bivalves de água doce. Entre os grupos que ocorrem na América do Sul, um dos com maior número de espécies é Rhipidodontini (Hyriidae, Unionida, Paleoheterodonta, Bivalvia). Porém, diversas questões taxonômicas e sistemáticas ainda incidem sob este grupo, levando a problemas de identificação de espécies, descrição, entre outros, como também tem atuado como limitador de outros tipos de estudos (e.g., ecologia, conservação,..). Neste trabalho é apresentada uma revisão do conhecimento acerca dos gêneros Diplodon Spix in Wagner, 1827 e Rhipidodonta Mörch, 1853 na América do Sul como um primeiro passo para a melhor compreensão de Rhipidodontini. Avaliando-se diferentes autores, se torna claro a pouca concordância entre eles, resultando em opiniões taxonômicas divergentes. São feitos também alguns comentários sobre ecologia, conservação e preferências ambientais. Este trabalho também deve encorajar futuros trabalhos sobre a taxonomia, sistemática, ecologia e conservação de bivalves de água na América do Sul.

Baker, 1914, Diplodon (Rhipidodonta) hylaeus (d'Orbigny, 1835), Prisodon obliquus Schumacher, 1817, Paxyodon syrmatophorus (Meuschen, 1781), Triplodon corrugatus (Lamarck, 1819, and Castalia ambigua Lamarck, 1819 were redescribed based on comparisons of external morphology and morphometric measurements of larval shells. The outline of the glochidial valves was classified into three types. The morphological comparison was based on light and scanning electron microscopy. Details of the shell, hooks and external sculpture allowed a redescription of the larvae, transferring D. suavidicus and D. obsolescens to the subgenus Diplodon and, within the Prisodontini, the genus Triplodon Spix, 1827 was separated from Prisodon Schumacher, 1817 and Paxyodon Schumacher, 1817. The glochidium of Prisodon obliquus is described for the first time. The larvae of the latter species and those of Paxyodon syrmatophorus present projecti...

The development of host fish techniques (in vivo) at the beginning of the 20th century, and the improvement of artificial culture media for in vitro culture of bivalves, provided an opportunity to identify the nutritional requirements needed to complete the life cycle of threatened freshwater bivalves. A freeze-dried extract of lambari, a Brazilian Tetra (Astyanax altiparanae), was used as an additive to the artificial culture medium M199 (Sigma®) to try to improve the survival of glochidia and the metamorphosis of Diplodon rotundus gratus and D. greeffeanus. We adjusted the pH of the culture medium to 6.8, the same value recorded at the collecting site of the bivalves. Glochidia were kept in an incubator at 18°C. 40% of D. rotundus gratus glochidia survived, and 20% reached metamorphosis after 22 days of incubation. For D. greeffeanus 50% of the glochidia survived with 15% undergoing metamorphosis after 22 days of incubation. These results suggest an increase in the post-metamorphic survival wit...

Larvae of Hysterothylacium use various invertebrates as intermediate hosts. Definite hosts include fish, birds, reptiles or marine mammals. This study describes the occurrence of Hysterothylacium (Nematoda, Anisakidae) larvae parasitizing the pericardic cavity of Diplodon suavidicus (Unioniformes, Hyriidae) specimens collected in the Amazon basin, Brazil. This is the first record of this nematode parasitizing freshwater bivalves in South America. The high prevalence, medium intensity and medium abundance suggest that D. suavidicus acts as intermediate host for Hysterothylacium species in that environment. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

The feeding strategies were analyzed by the Amundsen method. Relative food items contribution for the taxa studied indicated a generalist-type trophic strategy. In macroinvertebrates, in general, the values of stable isotope confirmed the result of the analysis of gut contents. With the fish, stable-isotope analysis demonstrated that both species are predators, although B. iheringii exhibited a more omnivorous behaviour. These feeding studies allowed us to determine the trophic relationships among taxa studied. Detritus and diatoms were a principal source of food for all the macroinvertebrates studied. In La Choza stream the particulate organic matter is a major no limited food resource, has a significant influence upon the community., Instituto de Limnología "Dr. Raul A. Ringuelet"

Diplodon rhombeus fontainianus (Orbigny, 1835), belongs to the family Hyriidae Swainson 1840, the distribution of which is restricted to South America and Australasia. This species, endemic to Brazil, occurs in the central-southern geographical region, Upper Paraná Basin and Atlantic Microbasins Espirito Santo to Paraná states. The mollusk lives buried in muddy substrata, has similar sized adductor muscles, and is dioecious, lacking sexual dimorphism. The apertures are simple (type AII of Yonge, 1948, 1957) as in Diplodon rotundus gratus, Castalia undosa martensi, Castalia undosa undosa and mantle fusion is present only in the base of the exalant aperture. The inhalant aperture exhibits tentacles originating from the inner fold while the exhalant aperture has no tentacles. The ctenidia are type D (of Atkins, 1937). A well-developed marsupium is present in the inner demibranch. The association between the ctenidia and the labial palps belongs to category I (of Stasek, 1963). The stomach constitutes a type IV structure (of Purchon, 1958). The posterior sorting area (psa) presents two pouches in Diplodon rhombeus fontainianus. Among the Hyriidae, the presence of these pouches has also been described in several species of Hyriidae from South America. The organization of the gut in the visceral mass follows the same pattern seen in the Hyriidae already studied: Castalia undosa martensi, Castalia undosa undosa, Diplodon.rotundus gratus,Diplodon charruanus and Diplodon pilsbryi.

Se presenta una revisión bibliográfica de los registros del género Diplodon (Spix, 1827) (Hyriidae), presentes en sitios arqueológicos de Chile. Las evidencias indican una efímera presencia de estos bivalvos en contextos arqueológicos de finales del Pleistoceno, mientras que durante gran parte del Holoceno su registro es más significativo. No obstante, sólo algunos sitios arqueológicos muestran su utilización como materia prima y/o recurso alimenticio. Las evidencias arqueológicas de Diplodon muestran similar distribución a la actual. Se discuten algunas implicancias paleoambientales y biogeográficas en relación a su distribución, así como la necesidad de vincular esta información con distintas disciplinas para entender la importancia de su rol en contextos arqueológicos. We review bibliography on genus Diplodon (Spix, 1827) (Hyriidae) records obtained in archaeological contexts in Chile. Evidence indicates an ephemeral late Pleistocene presence of these bivalves, while its record increases significantly during the Holocene. Nevertheless, only few archaeological sites show its use as raw material and/or food resource. Diplodon archaeological evidence is similar to current genus distribution. We discuss some palaeoenvironmental and biogeographical implications of their distribution, as well as the need to relate this information with different disciplines in order to understand its importance in archaeological contexts.

Conchological and anatomical studies of the glochidium of Diplodon martensi (lhering, 1893) were performed on samples collected in a small river, tributary from the Cai River, that belong to the Jacui River sub-basin in south-eastern Brazil. The parasitic development of the glochidium was observed in laboratory on a small cichlid fish Gymnogeophagus gymnogenys (Hensel, 1870).
