9978119 BielerBivalvia (= Lamellibranchia, Pelecypoda) is a group of great living and fossil diversity, and one of immense economic importance. There are few biologists specializing in investigating bivalve diversity and the largest (and ecologically as well as economically most important) bivalves have remained among the least understood. In a joint program involving biologists and laboratories from the around the world, R. Bieler, a molluscan systematist at the Field Museum of Natural History and P. M. Mikkelsen, a molluscan systematist at the American Museum of Natural History, combine their expertise to train a new generation of bivalve workers and significantly to advance the systematics of the group. The research will concentrate on the marine family Veneridae, a group of bivalves with more than 500 living species that form a key component in the world's clam fisheries. The project will train students at the graduate and postdoctoral levels and involves a wide range of approaches and techniques ranging from field collecting and comparative anatomical studies to DNA sequencing. Other educational efforts will target undergraduate trainees and various audiences that can be reached through web publications and museum programming. Promoting bivalve research worldwide is an important goal of this project. To make information about the species and associated data available to specialists and non-specialists alike, various bivalve databases, images, and keys will be developed for electronic web dissemination.

9978119 BielerBivalvia(=Lamellibrchia，Pelecypoda)是一类具有丰富的生物和化石多样性的物种，具有巨大的经济价值。很少有生物学家专门研究双壳类的多样性，而最大的(以及在生态和经济上最重要的)双壳类一直是最不被了解的。在一个由来自世界各地的生物学家和实验室参与的联合项目中，菲尔德自然历史博物馆的软体动物系统学家R.Bieler和美国自然历史博物馆的P.M.Mikkelsen将他们的专业知识结合在一起，培训新一代双壳类工作者，并显著提高该组织的系统学水平。这项研究将集中在海生科Veneridae上，这是一群拥有500多个活着物种的双壳类动物，构成了世界蛤类渔业的关键组成部分。该项目将培训研究生和博士后水平的学生，并涉及从野外收集和比较解剖学研究到DNA测序的广泛方法和技术。其他教育努力将针对本科生实习生和各种观众，可以通过网络出版物和博物馆节目接触到。在世界范围内推广双壳类研究是该项目的一个重要目标。为了向专家和非专家提供有关该物种的信息和相关数据，将开发各种双壳类数据库、图像和检索表，用于电子网络传播。
