The phylum Platyhelminthesmay be more widely known for its parasitic members since the majorparasitic groups of the tapeworms, flukes, and their relatives aremore speciose and have greater impact on everyday human life; but theturbellarians are more diverse and, as inhabitants of virtually anyaquatic habitat, are more widespread as well. Many of the lowerturbellarians are rather simple in morphology and have served asmodels for ancestors of the Bilateria, i.e., the bulk of the animalphyla. Others are quite complex organisms, especially in themorphology of their reproductive systems which are highly specialized.The majority are free-living in aquatic habitats but a number ofinteresting parasitic and commensal species are found scattered amongthe higher turbellarian taxa. .But turbellarians are more than just taxonomic curiosities. They haveserved as illustrative models in research on a variety of basic lifeprocesses.
