Regeneration of the inhalant siphon of Donax hanleyanus (Philippi, 1847) (Bivalvia, donacidae) from Argentina
Donax hanleyanus (Philippi, 1847) is the southernmost Donax species in the American Atlantic. It inhabits intertidal fine grain sandy shores in northern Buenos Aires Province. As with other species in this genus, these animals survive under pressure of "cropping" by fish that feed on their...

Donax hanleyanus (Philippi, 1847) is the southernmost Donax species in the American Atlantic. It inhabits intertidal fine grain sandy shores in northern Buenos Aires Province.

The inhalant siphon is a complex organ; its tip contains a system of branched tentacles that permit particle selection of medium and large grains and prevent their entry to the pallial cavity of the animal. To estimate the regeneration speed of the amputated siphon under laboratory conditions, a study of the regrowth sequence after an artificial cut was performed at regular intervals for complete 10-day periods.
