I was honored to be invited to Miguel Bastos Araújo retreat. Great people, interesting talks, and beautiful nature. Thank you all 🙏

Congrats Ori Hepner for submitting your thesis🎉!

Does the invasive fish community spread evenly across the Israeli shoreline?
What is the community structure as we get deeper into the unknown sandy habitats?
These questions are now answered in Ori's recently submitted thesis!

A study of 146 marine species shows that population abundance tends to decline as the velocity of poleward range shift increases, suggesting widespread transient population dynamics rather than a simple dichotomy between climate-change winners and losers: rdcu.be/dAEbC

Marine fishes experiencing high-velocity range shifts may not be climate change winners rdcu.be/dAEbu

The world should know.

The UN just published a report on the sexual violence that hundreds of Israeli victims had suffered on 7/10/23 by Hamas.

The text in this report is difficult to digest.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Tel Aviv University!

I will focus on what traits characterize successful range-expanding species and patterns of trait-breadth changes in the recipient environment.

PhD submitted (:

Just presented my PhD last week and am currently a few steps from submitting my thesis!
