From Concept to Reality
Citizen science has expanded globally in recent decades, yet its institutionalization in Israel has been relatively recent. In recognition of the potential of citizen science to advance biodiversity conservation, public engagement, and scientific research, the Israel Center for Citizen Science (ICCS) was formally launched in February 2025 after a five-year planning and preparation phase. Herein, we share the journey from concept to reality, highl…
Have We Ever Been Natural? Rethinking Nature Conservation in the Anthropocene
The Anthropocene challenges the premise of separate natural and human spheres that underlies the human/nature dualism in conservation. Using a conceptual analysis of proposed Anthropocene starting points (golden spikes), we argue that this distinction arises from historical conceptions that produced what we term an “exhibitionary order of nature”—the 18th-19th century practices of collecting, cataloging, and displaying nature that established bas…
Afforestation with River red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) drives biotic homogenization in coastal sand dunes
Demonstrated that Eucalyptus afforestation drives biotic and functional homogenization in coastal-sand grassland ecosystems. • Used a multi-taxa approach including plants, arthropods, and lizards. • Showed loss of psammophile and endemic species, rise in generalists and aliens. • Linked structural vegetation changes under Eucalyptus to cascading trophic shifts • Raised concerns about global afforestation policies in naturally open habitats. Affor…
A Rich Person’s Problem? Socio-Ecological Analysis of Human-Wild Boar Conflict Distribution in an Urban Setting
Our study presents a comprehensive method for measuring the distribution of urban wildlife and human-wildlife conflicts based on citizen reports. We investigate the ecological and social factors affecting the distribution of synurbic wild boars ( Sus scrofa ) and related human-wildlife conflicts within Haifa, northern Israel. Using Maximum Entropy (Maxent) species distribution modeling, we analyzed 2,921 citizen reports of wild boar sightings col…

From micromammals to paleoenvironments
Wet sieving a complex tell
Explaining Transatlantic Policy Divergence
In this study, we seek to explain a growing divergence between the US and EU regulatory policies over nanotechnology environmental, health, and safety risks. Faced with significant scientific and regulatory uncertainties, incremental approaches have been taken in both regulatory systems, but substantial differences are evident in terms of both policy processes and stringency. While the EU exhibits a regulatory integration process with stringent a…
Geography and Economic Preferences as Cultural Markers in a Border Town
We present a zooarchaeological analysis of the faunal remains at Tel Beth-Shemesh, a site located in the Shephelah region of Israel, which has been dated to the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age I. The site, identified as the biblical city of Beth-Shemesh, was a Canaanite border town between Philistine and Israelite settlements and of great importance in our attempts to understand the social and cultural transformations that occurred in the southern L…
Food, Economy, and Culture at Tel Dor, Israel
This paper presents the results of a study of the cultural and economic changes from a longue durée perspective as reflected in the animal remains from a nearly continuous occupation spanning the early Iron Age through the Roman period at Tel Dor, a harbor town on Israel's Carmel coast. Such long-term zooarchaeological analyses are currently rare. Focusing on the choice of food, as well as on animal exploitation methods/strategies, the paper asks…

Issues and dilemmas in ecological scoping
Prior research has shown that ecological scoping is the most important factor in determining the quality of environmental impact statements in Israel. Hence, improved ecological scoping has been called for. This paper identifies and discusses four fundamental dilemmas that need to be addressed in the ecological scoping process: biodiversity assessments, appropriate spatial and temporal scales, and cumulative ecological effects. The scientific, pr…

Micromammal taphonomy of el-Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel, Israel
The Natufian economy at el-Wad Terrace with special reference to gazelle exploitation patterns

Fish Processing During the Early Holocene

Predicting Grey Triggerfish Body Size from Bones
The present study presents a method for predicting triggerfish body size (standard length and body mass) from bones recovered from archaeological sites. Regression equations were calculated from 42 fresh triggerfish. The following seven measurements were used as best predictors for body size based on the regression coefficients, reliability of the measurements and survivorship of the bones in archaeological material: width of ethmoid, width of vo…

Animal Exploitation in Ujrat El-Mehed, a Neolithic Site in Southern Sinai
L'analyse des vestiges fauniques de Ujrat el-Mehed, site PPNB du Sinai méridional apporte la preuve de la présence d'un groupe de chasseurs-cueilleurs connaissant bien leur environnement en vue de son exploitation. L'assemblage faunique, très riche, comporte des mammifères, des oiseaux, des reptiles et des poissons, toutes espèces sauvages. Aucune indication de domestication n'a été recueillie. Cependant, il se pourrait qu'ait été pratiquée une c…

Carnivore Diversity in the Late Quaternary of Israel
During the past 70,000 years, Israeli carnivore faunas have varied only slightly in richness (number of species), but widely in diversity (including the relative abundances of the different species). Human population growth, sedentism, and the beginning of agriculture are often considered to have caused habitat destruction toward the end of the Pleistocene that may have affected animal populations. However, patterns of changing carnivore diversit…
