Galil has contributed to several publication venues with a notable frequency in Biological Invasions, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), BioInvasions Records, Diversity and Distributions, and Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems.

  • Trends in the detection of aquatic non-indigenous species across global marine, estuarine and freshwater ecosystems: A 50-year perspective, 2020, Diversity and Distributions
  • Curbing the major and growing threats from invasive alien species is urgent and achievable, 2024, Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • Prioritizing marine invasive alien species in the European Union through horizon scanning, 2020, Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems
  • IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment: Summary for Policymakers, 2023, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Non-indigenous species along the Israeli Mediterranean coast: tally, policy, outlook, 2020, Hydrobiologia

Their frequent co-authors include Sven Bacher, Menachem Goren, Evangelina Schwindt, Martín A. Núñez, and Henn Ojaveer, reflecting collaboration on various projects connected to invasive species and marine ecology.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Ecology and Evolution opens the door to unique interdisciplinary careers, including health-related pathways such as nursing. Students interested in combining environmental knowledge with healthcare can explore specialized roles in nursing practice, including psychiatric nurse practitioner positions. Understanding how much does a psychiatric nurse practitioner make can provide valuable insight into salary expectations across the United States.

Advancing in nursing often means meeting specific educational requirements. If you're curious about how many years to become a nurse practitioner, several fast-track options exist for motivated students. For example, accelerated BSN programs let registered nurses earn their Bachelor's in as little as six months, boosting their credentials and career potential.

For those already holding an associate degree in nursing (ADN), RN to NP bridge programs offer a streamlined route to advanced nursing roles, including specializations that connect biology, mental health, and patient care. These flexible options support a seamless transition into roles where science and healthcare intersect.
