Abstract

Freshwater biota especially molluscs are more vulnerable because even the slightest change in the quality of their habitat possibly leads to their mortality. In addition, their importance is felt that particularly molluscs contribute toward carbon sequestering from the environment as atmospheric carbon gets deposited as carbonates in their shell which constitute 10% of their body mass. Hence, the molecular phylogenetic relationships of two families inhabiting freshwater streams viz., Ampullariidae and Viviparidae considering the genera dwelling in Indian subcontinent namely Pila globosa and Bellamya bengalensis using the partial nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial COI gene were of considerable importance in building conservational strategies. The phylogenetic analysis of ampullariid and viviparid species inferred that these two chosen families were paraphyletic and rooted on the genera of Cyclophoroidea and possibly with Saulea vitrea as the connecting link.
