AMPHIBIAN EVOLUTION LAB (Prof. Franky Bossuyt) http://www.amphibia.be ABSTRACT: Research centers around the use of molecular phylogenetics to elucidate evolutionary patterns, and the processes that produce them, in amphibians. We are trying to understand the relationship between tempo and mode of evolution in relation to biogeography, speciation and morphological diversification. Our research also integrates this phylogenetic background with ...
Amphibian Evolution Lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Amphibian Evolution Lab is situated in Brussels and is mainly working on the reconstruction of different aspects of amphibian evolution. We tackle multiple kinds of question using modern integrative biology, combining fieldwork and biological essays with lab expertise in transcriptomics, genomics and phylogenetics. Our current research can be divided in three distinct, but often closely intertwined themes: 1) the natural history and ...

Zoology: Biodiversity and Toxicology Hasselt University
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 ...

Research Institute: Centre for Environmental Sciences Hasselt University
From the beginning, and also for the future, CMK has opted for a well-considered combination of and symbiosis between high-qualitative fundamental environment-related research and applied research with financing coming from the different money flows (2nd, 3rd, 4th). CMK participates in European framework programmes, in research programmes for international bilateral cooperation, in BOF projects (Special Research Fund), in FWO ...
