Dr. Eva Lievens
Research interest
- Evolutionary ecology, in particular life history evolution and evolutionary epidemiology
- Host-parasite coevolution
- Eco-evolutionary dynamics
Current projects
Currently, I am using an algae-virus system (Chlorella variabilis - PBCV-1 virus) to investigate the effects of parasite life history traits on the epidemiology and evolution of coevolving host-parasite systems.
