Research Interest: Conservation ecology and dispersal I am a PhD student in the Movement Ecology Lab. My main research motivation is biological conservation. In my current research as a PhD student I study the influence of planted forests on the genetic structure of natural Aleppo pine populations. In my MSc research I focused on biodiversity patterns in the community-level and specialized in land-snail species diversity. Publications: Nathan, R., Schurr, F. M., Spiegel, O., Steinitz, O.,
