Overview

Anne Loison is affiliated with the Université Savoie Mont Blanc in France. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a significant emphasis on ecology. Across their work, they have contributed to topics including wildlife ecology and conservation, animal behavior and welfare studies, bat biology and ecology studies, animal ecology and behavior studies, animal and plant science education, marine animal studies overview, and wildlife-road interactions and conservation.

Their recent publications demonstrate a strong engagement with the study of large herbivores and landscape ecology. Selected recent works include:

  • "A Systematic Review of Within-Population Variation in the Size of Home Range Across Ungulates: What Do We Know After 50 Years of Telemetry Studies?" (2021, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution)
  • "On this side of the fence: Functional responses to linear landscape features shape the home range of large herbivores" (2021, Journal of Animal Ecology)
  • "A standardised biologging approach to infer parturition: An application in large herbivores across the hider-follower continuum" (2021, Methods in Ecology and Evolution)
  • "Interacting lethal and nonlethal human activities shape complex risk tolerance behaviors in a mountain herbivore" (2022, Ecological Applications)
  • "Do reproductive constraints or experience drive age-dependent space use in two large herbivores?" (2021, Animal Behaviour)

Anne Loison frequently collaborates with several researchers, including Pascal Marchand, Mathieu Garel, Nicolas Morellet, Yannick Chaval, and Jean-Michel Gaillard.

Their work appears in various publication venues, with multiple contributions to bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Journal of Animal Ecology, Animal Behaviour, and the Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism.

Anne Loison's research spans several subfields of study, notably ecology, social psychology, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, small animals, and genetics.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Ecology and Evolution opens doors to a broad range of interdisciplinary careers in science, research, and beyond. Many professionals interested in the human impact on environments consider advancing their expertise through related online degrees—especially those that provide a robust foundation in psychology and behavior.

For those seeking flexible options, pursuing an accelerated masters in psychology enables graduates to gain a deeper understanding of cognitive and behavioral science in a fraction of the usual time. This can integrate well with ecological roles requiring insight into environmental attitudes or community engagement.

Other students may choose to specialize further, such as earning an online masters in mental health counseling, which prepares graduates for careers supporting well-being in diverse communities, or working with vulnerable populations.

The demand for high paying jobs in forensic psychology is also growing, offering a path for those interested in the intersection of law, human behavior, and societal issues. For students passionate about development and education, an online masters child psychology can lead to roles addressing the mental health needs of younger generations.

These programs offer valuable skills that complement ecology and evolution backgrounds, broadening both professional and academic pathways.
