avi.shmida@gmail.com

Research Interests:

Reproductive biology and pollination: Sex types in plants; Foraging behavior of bees; Bee-flower interactions. Rare and endangered plants of the Levant. Application of game theory to evolution and ecology. Bounded rationality as an explanation of behaviors and morphologies in biology. Flowers as a focal model for the study of the pollination market and game interactions between female and male functions.

Research Topics:

  1. Heterocarpy and sex types in the Daisy (Asteraceae).
  2. Signaling vs. cheap talk in flower display.
  3. Mother-offspring conflict and the evolution of the compact inflorescent.
  4. Sex Types in plants and the Charnov sexual allocation model: Monoecy, dioecy and hermaphrodite. Selfing vs. outcrossing in annual plants.
  5. Relation between flower size, fruit size, and sex types in plants.
  6. Coevolution of the Red Anemone guild and Glaphyrid beetles.
  7. Color change in inflorescences in relation to pollinators.
  8. Rare endemic and endangered species of Israel and adjacent countries.
  9. War of attrition between vertebrata and insects: How does K-level reasoning matter?
