Dror Hawlena's lab

About the laboratory
The risk-management ecology lab integrates theory with empirical studies to understand context-dependency in ecological processes across levels of biological organization. Specifically, we examine how organisms manage risk and the consequences of these defense responses on trophic interactions, ecosystem dynamics, and evolutionary processes. We always use the conceptual merits of our studies to inform conservation.
