The project is a case-study for Flemish Trichoptera and uses our molecular database of selected genetic markers and the variance displayed in their nucleotide sequences.
species identification
DNA barcoding and the phylogeny of Flemish Trichoptera
This research project investigates the phylogeny for the caddisflies (Cl. Insecta; O. Trichoptera) occurring in lowland freshwater systems in Flanders.
Development of a biodiversity chip for the biomonitoring of benthic macro invertebrate communities.
The Biological water quality in Flanders is assessed aplying the Belgian Biotic Index (BBI). The aim of this proposal is the development of a biodiversity chip (DNA-array) for the identification of benthic macro invertebrate communities.
