Shlomo Preis-Bloom

Shlomo Preis-Bloom is an ecologist known for his research on the domestication signs in jackals in Israel. His recent work focuses on the genetic diversity and hybridization between jackals and dogs, particularly in the context of the Middle East, which serves as a geographical bottleneck for canid genetics. Preis-Bloom has contributed to the understanding of rare genetic phenomena, such as melanism in jackals, and has highlighted the ecological implications of hybrid animals in natural habitats.
