Dr Sheri Johnson

Postdoctoral Fellow, Anatomy

Sheri is a reproductive ecologist with broad interests in ecology, evolution and behaviour. Sheri uses an integrative approach (molecular, field ecology, reproductive biology and behavioural analysis) to understand the factors that influence reproductive success and mate choice in fish and marine invertebrates. Sheri is based at the Centre for Reproduction & Genomics and the Department of Anatomy.
