Blaustein Ecology Lab

Most generally, we study ecology at various levels (organismal/life history, population, and community levels) - theoretical and applied. 

Though nearly any ecological study is fair game, we are presently largely concentrating on temporary pool systems.

The Israel Journal of Ecology & Evolution is dedicated to publishing high quality original research and review papers that advance our knowledge and understanding of the function, diversity, abundance, distribution, and evolution of organisms at all levels of biological organization as they interact with their biotic and abiotic environments. Conceptual and empirical contributions are all welcome. While we give special consideration to studies based in Israel, Mediterranean climate areas, the Mediterranean Basin, and the entire Middle East, we will consider any high quality contribution regardless of geography. To further our goals, we regularly publish special compendium issues on timely and exciting subjects guest-edited by outstanding scientists active in the field. Those wishing to suggest a topic or edit a special volume are invited to submit proposals to the editors. We are dedicated to a rapid, high quality review process.
