Daphnia

painting by Louis Du Pasquier (2011)

Research group of Dieter Ebert

The main focus of the group are the evolution, genomics and ecology of host-parasite and host-mutualist interactions. Research topics include local adaptation, coevolution, evolution in metapopulations, the evolution of microbiota, the evolution of sex, genome evolution, trait mapping and genetic/genomic architecture. In the last years we developed a Diversity Panel of the crustacean Daphnia magna with the aim to understand species wide patterns of genomic and phenotypic diversity.


We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases. (Religio Medici 1643)
