Martin Schebeck

Martin Schebeck is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), specializing in Forest Entomology at the Department of Forest Entomology, Forest Pathology and Forest Protection. His research focuses on the evolutionary ecology, population genetics, and physiological adaptations of bark beetles in response to climate change.

• Key Research Areas:
• Bark beetle diapause mechanisms
• Genomic adaptations to climate stressors
• Insect-microbiome symbiosis
• Phenological shifts under warming

Recent work examines temperature-dependent development, inversion polymorphism in pest genomes, and olfactory adaptations in Ips species. His publications highlight cross-disciplinary insights into forest pest management and biodiversity conservation.

Notable methodological contributions include leveraging RAD sequencing for phylogeography and studying diapause plasticity in bark beetles. He maintains a teaching authorization in Entomology at BOKU.
