Resumen
There are three main goals:
- Enlarge our knowledge of the rhabdocoel biodiversity of Europe, and Spain in particular. The rhabdocoel fauna of the Iberian peninsula is hardly known. As the rhabdocoels of Spain have hardly been studied, many of the species will be new to science and will be described formally.
-Collect specimens for future research concerning the evolutionary origin of the freshwater taxa. Species collected in the Doñana region will be incorporated in a large-scale phylogenetic analysis, based on different molecular markers and including rhabdocoels from all types of habitats all over the world.
-Collect specimens of Gyratrix hermaphroditus from different populations, both freshwater and marine, in order to study population genetic processes and cryptic biodiversity within this species. This specimens will be collected, and studied both morphologically and molecularly in order to use them in larger scale phylogenetic and population genetic studies.
