Overview

Matthew E. Gompper is affiliated with New Mexico State University in the United States. Their research encompasses a broad spectrum within environmental science, with a focus on ecology and related subfields.

The scientist has contributed to several recent papers, including:

  • "SNAPSHOT USA 2019: a coordinated national camera trap survey of the United States" (2021, Ecology)
  • "Mammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape" (2024, Nature Ecology & Evolution)
  • "Home range variation in leopards living across the human density gradient" (2021, Journal of Mammalogy)
  • "An agent-based framework for improving wildlife disease surveillance: A case study of chronic wasting disease in Missouri white-tailed deer" (2020, Ecological Modelling)
  • "Dog activity in protected areas: behavioral effects on mesocarnivores and the impacts of a top predator" (2020, European Journal of Wildlife Research)

The research topics addressed by Gompper include wildlife ecology and conservation, human-animal interaction studies, animal disease management and epidemiology, viral infections and vectors, zoonotic diseases and public health, vector-borne animal diseases, and studies involving Yersinia bacterium, plague, and ectoparasites.

They have frequently published in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), PLoS ONE, Integrative and Comparative Biology, Southeastern Naturalist, and Journal of Parasitology.

Among their frequent co-authors are Aniruddha Belsare, Colton J. Padilla, Roland Kays, David S. Jachowski, and Damon B. Lesmeister, indicating collaborations across various studies related to their main fields of interest.

Their work spans multiple subfields including ecology, genetics, parasitology, agronomy and crop science, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics. This interdisciplinary approach supports investigations into both wildlife biology and disease dynamics in animal populations.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Ecology and Evolution opens up a range of interdisciplinary career options, many of which intersect with psychology, counseling, and research fields. Students who wish to connect their scientific background with the human side of nature conservation or environmental advocacy may find value in advanced psychology programs.

Pursuing highest paying forensic psychology jobs can be particularly rewarding for those interested in the application of psychological research within legal and ecological contexts. Alternatively, those aiming to support youth affected by environmental change may benefit from child psychology masters programs online, which prepare graduates to work with young people in a variety of settings.

If cost is a concern, consider the most affordable master's in counseling to make your career pivot more accessible. Specializing in mental health and clinical services is also possible through flexible online clinical psychology programs, which can expand your ability to address ecological and evolutionary issues through the lens of mental well-being.
