Abstract. New data on shell reactions elicited by larval digeneans in bivalves from Recent sub‐Antarctic populations and late Holocene Patagonian deposits are reported. Shell alterations, which are traces of digenean trematode infections, were found affecting intertidal bivalve populations from Malv...
