The functional morphology of Anodontites trapezeus (Spix) and Anodontites trapesialis (Lamarck). (Bivalvia: Mycetopodidae)

A anatomia funcional comparada de duas espécies de bivalves límnicos, é analisada. Anodontites trapezeus e Anodontites trapesialis, pertencem à família Mycetopodidae e são comuns no interior do Estado de São Paulo. Vivem no mesmo local e são adaptadas ao ambiente de águas calmas. Foram, pela primeira vez, estudadas sob o ponto de vista da anatomia funcional e, o estudo do estômago contribuiu com valiosas informações, mostrando que, de maneira geral, a estrutura interna é de grande uniformidade nesses animais, tal como ocorre entre os Unionacea, estudados por outros autores
