Father and husband that does some biology stuff; predator-prey dynamics, stress physiology, maternal stress, population regulation, mainly in wild animals.

In the latest paper by Wild Animal Initiative grantees, @SamwiseSonnega and @sherifflab look at how the gut microbiome could be a novel, non-invasive biomarker for assessing wild animal welfare. frontiersin.org/journals/vet…

Great discussion from our panelists, exploring the intersections of behavior and wild animal welfare! Thank you @Janirecas, @SheriffLab, @DaveDaversa, @Sirenlacertina, Michaella Andrade, and @Lauren_Stanton_ for participating in our symposium. 👏 👏 👏 #ABS2024

I am seeking expression of interest for a potential postdoc on #smallmammals #animalpersonality and #seeddispersal- field work in the Italian Alps. Contact me if interested [email protected] (view of the study area attached)
Do you like predators? Do you like prey? Join us in California at the 2024 @GordonConf on "Emerging Fields of Predator-Prey Interactions" Jan 28 - Feb 2. Applications must be submitted by December 31 - Please RT👇 grc.org/predator-prey-intera…
New paper from the Sheriff lab. doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arad0…
If there’s food available prey respond more to the risk of predation but also pay a higher cost for those responses. A lot of fantastic undergrad contribution to this work.

New preprint!
My fav. paper, yet!
We know predation risk influences prey nest site selection. We wondered how intraspecific competition in prey would affect phenotype-environment matching while they select nests across a landscape of fear

@SheriffLab showed that risk-induced trait responses (RITRs) increase survival in the presence of predators but come at a cost to growth, strengthening understanding of the benefits of RITRs to individual fitness and non-consumptive effects generally.

#grizzlybear mortalities are not all random or due to bad luck, but can be linked with an increase in risky behavior before death - especially when sharing their home with humans. Latest pub from the @fRIresearch GBP in @cdnsciencepub
