Overview

Yael Lubin is affiliated with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. Their research primarily focuses on topics within Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Environmental Science.

Their work covers several subfields, including Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Genetics, Insect Science, Ecology, and Ecological Modeling. This interdisciplinary approach supports their investigation into insect and arachnid ecology and behavior, spider taxonomy and behavioral studies, plant and animal studies, animal behavior and reproduction, species distribution and climate change, genetic diversity and population structure, and forest insect ecology and management.

Yael Lubin has contributed to numerous publications, with frequent appearances in the following venues:

  • Insects
  • Animal Behaviour
  • Diversity
