North American freshwater unionacean bivalves are a diverse group of nearly 300 species. Unionaceans exhibit an array of conchological, anatomical, life history, and reproductive characteristics that have figured prominently in proposed classification schemes. Recently, two very different classifications of North American unionaceans have been proposed. Depending on the classification system utilized, a very different evolutionary trajectory of anatom ical and reproductive features is obtained. The lack of a robust, well corroborated phylogeny of North American unionacean bivalves hinders the progress of evolutionary and ecological studies involving these species. Here we present a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) based phylogeny for North American unionacean mussels and compare it to previously proposed classifications. In addition, we present a ‘total evidence’ phylogeny which incorporates both the mtDNA sequence data and available morphological data. The molecular and total evidence phylogenies agree largely with the conclusions of a previous study based largely on immunoelectrophoretic data. North American unionaceans can be divided into two families: the Unionidae, which is comprised of most of the species and the Margaritiferidae. Within the Unionidae are two subfamilies, the Anodontinae and Ambleminae. The resultant phylogeny was used to examine the evolution of several key anatomical features including the number of gills (demibranchs) used by females to brood developing embryos, incubation length (bradytictic vs tachytictic), larval (glochidial) tooth structures, and shell texture. Both molecular and total evidence phylogenies indicate several of the aforementioned characters evolved independently or were subsequently lost or gained in several lineages.
