Conceptual issues in local adaptation
- T. Kawecki, D. Ebert
- Biology
- 1 December 2004
Studies of local adaptation provide important insights into the power of natural selection relative to gene flow and other evolutionary forces. They are a paradigm for testing evolutionary hypotheses… Expand
Virulence and Local Adaptation of a Horizontally Transmitted Parasite
- D. Ebert
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 19 August 1994
Parasites are thought to maximize the number of successfully transmitted offspring by trading off propagule production against host survival. In a horizontally transmitted microparasitic disease in… Expand
Experimental evolution of parasites.
- D. Ebert
- Medicine, Biology
- Science
- 20 November 1998
Serial passage experiments are a form of experimental evolution that is frequently used in applied sciences; for example, in vaccine development. During these experiments, molecular and phenotypic… Expand
Host–parasite ‘Red Queen’ dynamics archived in pond sediment
- E. Decaestecker, Sabrina Gaba, +4 authors L. D. Meester
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 6 December 2007
Antagonistic interactions between hosts and parasites are a key structuring force in natural populations, driving coevolution. However, direct empirical evidence of long-term host–parasite… Expand
Psychotherapy of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults

- 1 August 2002
Abstract In clinical practice many adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ask for an additional psychotherapeutic intervention besides the medical therapy. In this paper… Expand
Development, Life Cycle, Ultrastructure and Phylogenetic Position of Pasteuria ramosa Metchnikoff 1888: Rediscovery of an Obligate Endoparasite of Daphnia magna Straus
The development, life cycle, ultrastructure and phylogenetic position of an obligate, spore-forming endoparasite of Daphnia magna Straus is described. The microparasite was found in the body cavity… Expand
On the evolutionary ecology of specific immune defence
- P. Schmid-Hempel, D. Ebert
- Biology
- 2003
Abstract Evolutionary ecology has developed along two major conceptual avenues, starting from the observation that hosts vary in their immune defence against parasites The first avenue, rooted in… Expand
The Dscam homologue of the crustacean Daphnia is diversified by alternative splicing like in insects.
- D. Brites, Seanna J. McTaggart, +7 authors L. Du Pasquier
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 July 2008
In insects, the homologue of the Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) is a unique case of a single-locus gene whose expression has extensive somatic diversification in both the nervous and… Expand
The Epidemiology and Evolution of Symbionts with Mixed-Mode Transmission
- D. Ebert
- Biology
- 25 November 2013
Vertical and horizontal transmission are terms that describe the transfer of symbionts from parents to offspring and among unrelated hosts, respectively. Many symbionts, including parasites,… Expand
