Abstract
This study presents a new data on taxonomic and genetic diversity of freshwater mollusks of Bering Island. Twelve species of freshwater mollusks belonging to four genera and two families were identified. Detected mollusks are widespread in Holarctic and Palearctic. An analysis of 16S rRNA sequences of bivalve mollusks of genus Euglesa from Bering Island showed their similarity with the populations from the reservoirs of Eurasia and North America. Apparently, the settlement of freshwater bivalves of genus Euglesa to Bering Island originated from Eastern Europe or Siberia, or both of the proposed routes existed. The distribution of the Sphaerium nitidum probably occurred both across the Atlantic and through Beringia. An analysis of the sequences of the mtDNA COI gene fragment in gastropods indicates that the Galba pacifica species occurred from the Japanese archipelago, and the Radix auricularia from Northeast Asia.
