This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey to a CESU partner, is for developing genomics data to infer population connectivity in two freshwater mussel species of concern: the yellow lampmussel and tidewater mucket. The project aims to clarify relationships among similar species and assure correct identifications through phylogenomic analysis, utilizing genome skimming for mitochondrial and ribosomal DNA. Additionally, the research will determine genetic diversity and potential genetic structuring among YLM and TM populations across their ranges. This effort supports DOI management agencies in conservation work for these vulnerable species.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research working with DOI management agencies in the development of genomics data to infer population connectivity among two freshwater mussel species of concern, the yellow lampmussel (YLM, Lampsilis cariosa) and tidewater mucket (TM, Atlanticoncha ochracea). The objectives of this project are: 1. Use genome skimming to obtain mitochondrial genomes and ribosomal DNA of L. cariosa and A. ochracea as well as other related species for phylogenomic analysis to clarify relationships among morphologically similar species and assure correct morphological identifications. 2. Determine levels of genetic diversity within and potential genetic structuring among YLM and TM populations across the species ranges. |
