OverviewAI-generated summary
Jeffrey D. Silberman's research focuses on the molecular evolution and phylogenetics of eukaryotes, particularly protists. His work investigates the deep evolutionary relationships within various eukaryotic lineages, including Heterolobosea, Diplomonads, and Parabasalia. Silberman's publications examine the genetic codes, flagellate stages, and lifestyle transitions (free-living to parasitic) within these groups.
His research also delves into mitochondrial evolution, specifically transitions between hydrogenosomes and mitosomes in protists. Silberman's work has led to the description of new species, such as *Naegleria lustrarea*, isolated from salamander feces in Northwest Arkansas. He collaborates with other researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Frederick W. Spiegel and Kevin Regis, on studies involving shared publications.
Silberman has published 64 total publications and has been cited over 4,130 times, with an h-index of 38. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher. His laboratory maintains an active website.
