Michael Sheriff

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. https://t.co/Lhoky8hOcs

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

New paper from the Sheriff lab. https://t.co/SNiCOHpo5c
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

New Paper ALERT! We propose a new Adaptive Management (AM) framework to maximize the likelihood of recovering populations that are rapidly declining or facing imminent extirpation, while maintaining our ability to learn effectively: Intervention-forward AM https://t.co/TahrJrjC0k

[Journal of Animal Ecology @AnimalEcology]

@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.

[Michael Sheriff @SheriffLab]

New paper led by Olivia Aguiar showing that individuals with greater risk-induced responses have greater survival when exposed to a lethal predator. @UMassDCAS @UMassD_SMAST @UMassD https://t.co/5WuzqLb5dh
