Research Focus

Pierre Comizzoli has worked as a veterinarian in French Guyana to study the seasonal reproduction of different mammalian species living in the rain forest. He has been in charge of reproductive and health monitoring programs (sheep, goat and cattle) in the African Sahelo-Saharan region. These working experiences, involving wildlife and tropical veterinary medicine, allowed him to study different aspects of reproductive biology in various animal species.
