Biology, Evolution and Generic Review of the Chemosymbiotic Bivalve Family Lucinidae is the culmination of 20 years of study involving fieldwork, molecular sampling and examination of collections held in major museums. Chapters cover shell characteristics, anatomy, symbionts, ecology, biogeography and phylogenetics. The main section is a critical review of the 96 known living genera. Each genus has a detailed description, images of all their individual species together with a summary of distribution and relationships. The fossil record of Lucinidae, dating from the early Palaeozoic, is briefly reviewed with a listing of all 80 fossil genera together with images of salient fossil species. A new classification of the Lucinidae is provided based on molecular phylogenies and detailed study of their morphology. Two new genera are proposed from the Indo-West Pacific.
