But numerous populations have declined drastically in numbers due to past intensive exploitation that led to their listing in both CITES Appendix II and IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, giant clams are notoriously difficult to identify, and recent molecular work has revealed that morphological misidentification of giant clams have confounded current population assessments and extinction risk. The most recent study of the status of giant clams in the Samoan Archipelago was published in a journal over 20\u2009years ago, without molecular corroboration of visual identifications. Using morphologic characteristics and ezRAD genetic techniques, we identify the existence of <jats:italic>Tridacna noae<\/jats:italic> in the Samoan Archipelago, presenting the first observation and a resulting range expansion. Accurately identifying the extant species in the archipelago is the first step toward a much\u2010needed population status assessment to effectively manage these long\u2010lived species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.9635","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,29]],"date-time":"2022-12-29T03:36:30Z","timestamp":1672284990000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Range expansion and first observation of <i>Tridacna noae<\/i> (Cardiidae: Tridacninae) in American S\u0101moa"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5709-7147","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Marra\u2010Biggs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology University of Hawai'i at M\u0101noa  K\u0101ne'ohe Hawaii USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Fatherree","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hillsborough Community College  Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Green","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alison Green Marine  Gold Coast Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6339-4340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert J.","family":"Toonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology University of Hawai'i at M\u0101noa  K\u0101ne'ohe Hawaii USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","article-title":"On the Giant Clams: Tridacna noae and T. ningaloo","volume":"17","author":"Fatherree J.
