Bivalves from the Chilean Fjords Region: Knowns and Unknowns

The Chilean Fjords Region has been regarded as one of the most complex coastal systems of the world, with a high level of mollusk diversity. Contradictorily, bivalves from this region have been recently considered both well and insufficiently known. This study critically evaluates the current state...
