| Abstract |
The modern data on systematics, morphology, life history, reproduction, and distribution of Margaritiferidae species are presented and analyzed. The principles of classification and phylogeny in the family, as well as the species problem are considered. The significance of pearl mussels in the waterbodies, ecological and evolutionary mechanisms of establishing "pearl mussel - salmon" symbiosis are discussed. The special attention is given to the reasons of extinction and prospects for restoration of "pearl mussel - salmon" ecosystems in various regions of Russia and the world. |
