Overview

Jonathan J. Cooper is affiliated with the University of Lincoln in the United Kingdom. Their research spans several interconnected fields with a focus on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, supported by a notable emphasis on genetics as a subfield.

Their scholarly work prominently explores animal behavior and welfare, including the study of human-animal interactions. Cooper's research topics cover a range of areas such as human-animal interaction studies, animal behavior and welfare studies, education related to animal and plant science, and aspects of evolutionary psychology and hemispheric asymmetry in neuroscience.

Cooper's recent publications include:

  • Decapods as food, companions and research animals: Legal impact of ascribing sentience (2022, Animal Sentience)
  • Efficacy of Dog Training With and Without Remote Electronic Collars vs. a Focus on Positive Reinforcement (2020, Frontiers in Veterinary Science)
  • The effect of sex and age on paw use within a large sample of dogs (Canis familiaris) (2021, Applied Animal Behaviour Science)
  • Use of strontium isotope ratios in geolocation of Guatemalan population: Potential role in identification of remains (2022, Journal of Forensic Sciences)
  • Test-retest reliability of a single isometric mid-thigh pull protocol to assess peak force and strength-endurance (2024, PeerJ)

Cooper frequently publishes in academic venues such as Frontiers in Veterinary Science, Animal Sentience, Applied Animal Behaviour Science, PeerJ, and Animal Welfare.

Their collaborative network includes coauthors with whom they have worked on multiple occasions, including Beth Ventura, Lucy China, Daniel S. Mills, Nicki Phillips, and Laëtitia Maréchal. These repeated partnerships suggest a consistent engagement in multidisciplinary and collaborative research environments.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring online degree options can significantly enhance your career opportunities in the fields of Animal Science and Veterinary studies. Many students consider programs beyond traditional veterinary paths, such as behavioral and counseling degrees. For instance, the best online mft programs offer valuable skills that complement animal care, especially in understanding human-animal relationships.

For those interested in deeper specialization, pursuing an online phd counseling can open doors to advanced research and therapy roles focused on both humans and animals in clinical settings.

If your passion firmly lies in working with animals, reviewing the animal degrees available online helps identify the best programs tailored for diverse career options, from wildlife conservation to veterinary technician roles.

Interestingly, leadership roles such as an athletic director require organizational and managerial skills that are also relevant in large animal care operations. Learning how do i become an athletic director can thus offer insights into alternative career pathways combining sports and animal care management.
