Linking Phylogeny and Morphology to Resource Assimilation Within Aquatic Assemblages

ABSTRACT Niche partitioning promotes species coexistence. Yet, it remains unclear how phylogeny and morphology influence the trophic niches of closely related aquatic species with shared feeding modes. Freshwater mussels (Family: Unionidae) are a group of filter‐feeding bivalves that are ideal for i...
