New paper in PNAS! 🥳 We explore “allopatric coevolution”: the idea that species from distant ecosystems can shape each other’s evolutionary trajectories. Specifically, we ask whether migratory predators can facilitate Müllerian mimicry between allopatric species. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

A natural assumption in evolutionary biology is that to coevolve, species must interact with each other and should therefore co-occur. However, man...

New paper in Global Environmental Change! We model how long-term cultural and demographic dynamics shape societies’ responses to extreme climatic events. With the wonderful Yitzchak Jaffe & Oren Kolodny. doi.org/10.1016/j.gl... Another day, another paper. I can get used to that!

New paper in AmNat! We propose that ecosystem disturbance may not just be a byproduct of biological invasions – it could be a niche-construction strategy that promotes invasion success. With Yonat Gefen and Oren Kolodny. Accepted ms: doi.org/10.1086/740876 Free PDF below
