Zoology: Biodiversity and Toxicology

Invertebrates, and especially freeliving flatworms (Platyhelminthes) are the subject of several research topics:
1. Biodiversity (incl. cryptic biodiversity)
2. Phylogeny and phylogeography based on morphological and molecular markers
3. Effects of pollution (especially heavy metals) on several aspects of the biology of turbellaria: regeneration and stem cell dynamics, life history-parameters, morphology,...
4. Study of cellular and molecular effects of pollution (especially heavy metals).

(MULTI)POLLUTION, BIODIVERSITY, INVERTEBRATES, MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR ASPECTS OF TOXICITY, PHYLOGENY & BIOGEOGRAPHY, PLATYHELMINTHES, STEM CELLS AND REGENERATION, TAXONOMY
