Dispersal of invertebrate key species based on molecular methods.

Verspreiding van sleutelsoorten binnen de invertebraten gebaseerd op moleculaire technieken.

Description in English

The aim of this research is to study the genetic diversity of some dominant invertebrate species - populations from the North Sea, North Atlantic and adjacent estuaries. Patterns of genetic diversity within and between species may be used to identify cryptic species, to reconstruct the evolutionary history of a group, and to accurately estimate biodiversity. Population genetic structure may be useful to provide quantitative estimates of dispersal (gene flow) across a species' geographic range and to understand the extent to which dispersal is determined by ocean currents. Temporal resolution: Belgian stations and Westerschelde stations are sampled yearly. Other samplings were collected only once. Data will be transferred to the Genbank database.
