A new study led by Prof. Lee Koren, from the Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar-Ilan University, explores the profound effects of habitat disturbance on the Arabian babbler, a social bird species known for its cooperative breeding. The study, recently published in the scientific journal Ecology Letters, is the first to combine the effects of habitat on both individual fitness and sociality.
