Its origin has been debated. We know that this clam was transplanted by humans to western North America. But where did it come from? Were there refuges in southern Europe where the clam survived the hardships of the Ice Ages? Did it migrate to North America from Europe, or was the migration in the other direction? In this article, the authors report on genetic analysis and conclude that the species originated in eastern North America and subsequently colonized Europe.
