معرفی
Prof. Ran Nathan is a Professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution & Behavior at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research focuses on movement ecology, spatiotemporal plant population dynamics, and ornithology. He holds a Ph.D. and serves as the Chief Editor of Movement Ecology. His work integrates theoretical and empirical approaches to study dispersal, migration, and animal movement mechanisms.
Key research interests include the ecology and evolution of dispersal, mechanisms underlying organism movements, and the application of tracking technologies. Notable contributions include discoveries on cognitive navigation in bats and the role of movement in microbial community composition in barn owls.
- Prizes & Honors:
- 2019 Distinguished Scientist Award from the National Academy of Sciences (China)
- Landau Award
Prof. Nathan leads research groups exploring movement ecology paradigms, lifetime tracks of organisms, and invasive plant spread. He actively seeks PhD students for studies on raven psychometrics in desert ecosystems and collaborates on projects involving big data analysis in movement ecology.
