Marine Bivalves from the Argentine Coast and Continental Shelf: Species Diversity and Assessment of the Historical Knowledge

Bivalves are one of the most abundant groups of invertebrates in many benthic communities. From 1817 to date, numerous contributions have dealt with the Argentine fauna of marine bivalves. Despite this, at present, there is no a text summarizing the currently available information on this group in A...
