Extract

Scanning electron and optical microscopic examination of the hinge apparatus and primary ligament pit of two Recent mytilids (Mytilus edulis and Modiolus modiolus) revealed a similar sequence of ontogenetic changes in both species from the prodissoconch I stage through metamorphosis. Hinge-line dentition was absent at the prodissoconch I stage. Provinculum length and complexity increased throughout larval development with progressive lateral thickening characteristic of the family Mytilidae.
