Overview

Mark V. Lomolino is affiliated with the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a significant focus on Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Paleontology, Geography, Planning and Development, and Plant Science. The scientist's work involves diverse themes such as Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Pacific and Southeast Asian Studies, Evolution and Paleontology Studies, Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies, Species Distribution and Climate Change, and Isotope Analysis in Ecology.

The scientist has published articles in several journals, contributing notably to Frontiers of Biogeography, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science, Journal of Biogeography, and Nature Ecology & Evolution.

  • Dwarfism and gigantism drive human-mediated extinctions on islands (2023, Science)
  • Geographic and ecological segregation in an extinct guild of flightless birds: New Zealand's moa (2021, Frontiers of Biogeography)
  • 52,000 years of woolly rhinoceros population dynamics reveal extinction mechanisms (2024, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Melting climates shrink North American small mammals (2023, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Reconstructing mechanisms of extinctions to guide mammal conservation biogeography (2023, Journal of Biogeography)

Coauthors frequently collaborating with Lomolino include Damien A. Fordham, Sean Tomlinson, Janet M. Wilmshurst, Jeremy J. Austin, and Stuart C. Brown.

In addition to journal publications, Lomolino has contributed to academic books published by Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press. Notable works include The Species-Area Relationship (2021) and Biogeography: A Very Short Introduction (2020).

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

A degree in Ecology and Evolution opens doors to a range of rewarding careers in research, education, conservation, and beyond. Increasingly, interdisciplinary knowledge and mental health awareness are valued in environmental fields. Students interested in supporting young people might consider exploring child psychology masters programs, which deepen understanding of behavior and development—skills valuable in community or field outreach roles.

For those seeking affordable options to work in counseling or advocacy, the cheapest masters in counseling online can provide the credentials needed to help individuals and families manage stress or trauma related to environmental challenges. Alternatively, clinical psychologist online programs prepare graduates for roles assessing and supporting mental well-being, which often intersects with ecological research in vulnerable communities.

If you are eager to enter the workforce quickly, online schools for human services offer streamlined pathways to front-line positions in support agencies and nonprofits. Combining ecological expertise with human services or psychology opens up unique career advantages across public health, policy, and education.
