Does shell shape variation play a role in conservation of the long-lived freshwater bivalve Diplodon chilensis (Bivalvia, Hyriidae)?

Freshwater bivalves of the order Unionoida display an uncommon phenotypic plasticity with high interpopulation and intrapopulation morphological variability, which could be advantageous for coping with habitat modifications. However, unionoids have suffered a marked population decline in different p...
