  abstract = {{G}iant clams are conspicuous bivalves inhabiting {I}ndo-{P}acific reefs. {S}ince {R}osewater's seminal paper in 1965, the number of giant clam species described or resurrected has exactly doubled. {T}he increased number of species reported and accessibility to genetic material of rare or uncommon species therefore call for a reappraisal of the phylogenetic relationships within the {T}ridacninae subfamily. {H}ere, we aim to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships among all 12 extant species by performing a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial genome and nuclear 18{S} r{RNA} data from a combination of genome skimming, {S}anger sequencing and previously published sequences. {C}omparing the mitogenomes among {T}ridacninae species, we report two new findings: (1) the {T}. crocea mitogenome length obtained here (18,266 bp) is shorter than previously known, and (2) the mitochondrial gene order in {T}. crocea and {T}. squamosa differs from the other species. {O}ur phylogeny based on a concatenated 16-gene dataset (15 mitochondrial markers and nuclear 18{S} r{RNA}) reveals highly supported relationships within and between the three subgenera, {T}ridacna ({T}ridacna), {T}ridacna ({P}ersikima) and {T}ridacna ({C}hametrachea). {O}verall, the inclusion of new molecular markers greatly improves the confidence and support for the subfamily's phylogeny. {T}he availability of this comprehensive phylogenetic dataset serves as the foremost baseline of {T}ridacninae relationships to support future studies examining giant clam systematics, ecology and conservation.},
