Department Chairperson
| Research Interests:Community ecology; Plant ecology; Plant-animal interactions; Pollination ecology; Disturbance ecology; Spatial ecology; Biodiversity and species richness.
|
|
Research Interests: Spatial ecology and spatial genetics and their implications for conservation biology and wildlife management; Specifically, the spatial and genetic structure of populations, factors affecting range expansion, and movement patterns of individuals under different landscape scenarios. |
 |
Research Interests: Conservation behavior: I am interested in all aspects of applying animal behavior knowledge and theory to improve conservation and management. Specific topics that are of current interest include the following: * Post-release behavior of reintroduced animals * Understanding the mechanisms and reversing the effects of wildlife habituation to humans * Evolutionary and ecological traps. |
 |
Research Interests: Plant population and community ecology; Landscape ecology; Ecology and evolution of seed dispersal; Spatial ecology and Biodiversity. |
 |
Research Interests:The evolution and ecology of symbiotic interactions; the evolution and ecology of host-parasite interactions; microbial ecology; disease ecology; vector-borne bacteria. |
 |
Research Interests:Ecology and evolution of host-parasite interactions; Biogeography. |
 |
Research Interests:Research Interests: Community ecology, evolutionary ecology, and behavioral ecology; optimal
foraging, tradeoffs of food and safety, optimal patch use, the effect of costly information; foraging games between predators and their prey; consequences of natural selection at the community level: mechanisms of coexistence among desert granivorous birds and mammals; applying foraging theory and mechanisms of species coexistence to conservation issues; behavioral indicators in conservation biology. |

Research Interests:My scientific background is in physiological ecology of animals, a discipline that explores, in an ecological and evolutionary context, the ways in which animals function in response to their natural environments. I work within this discipline to answer questions that are related to conservation ecology and to animal ecology. I have developed an international reputation for my work on bats. I have done fieldwork in several countries and have been invited to several international meetings. I am collaborating with scientists from Israel and abroad.
