DR. YONI VORTMAN
Principal Investigator
Head of the Department of Animal Sciences and Senior Lecturer,
Tel Hai College
I am a field behavioral ecologist. I try to be inspired from the field and to conduct research which exploits nature as a platform to examine evolutionary and behavioral processes. Accordingly, our lab is located in the middle of the Hula Valley and allows easy access to this unique and wonderful part of nature.
