معرفی
Dieter Ebert is a Professor of Zoology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Basel, focusing on host-parasite coevolution and its genomic implications. His work bridges ecological and evolutionary perspectives through empirical and theoretical approaches.
He studied Biology and Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich, the University of South Alabama, and the University of Basel. His research is anchored in the Red Queen Hypothesis, examining coevolutionary dynamics across time scales from days to millions of years.
- 2008: Daphnia-parasite model systems
- 2013: Mixed-mode transmission of symbionts
- 2017: Stepwise infection processes
- 2020: Genomic signatures of coevolution
His publications highlight trends in genomic analysis, host resistance mechanisms, and parasite evolutionary strategies, often using Daphnia as a model organism. He convened the 2022 workshop Genomics of Coevolution and has explored themes like intensive farming's impact on pathogens and genome reduction in microsporidia.
