In 1995, Berra retired from teaching full time. In 2009 he won his third [[Fulbright Fellowship]], and continued to publish books and scientific papers. In 2016 as a professorial fellow stationed at [[Charles Darwin University]] in [[Darwin, Northern Territory|Darwin]], Australia, Berra continued his work on [[nurseryfish]].{{R|Richland}} His research on the nurseryfish was to investigate the male's unique adaptation, carrying thousands of fertilized eggs on a hook "like a bunch of grapes". Berra wanted to know how the embryos attached to the hook, and if the male was the genetic father of the embryos.{{R|grapes}} {{R|Coleman}}

During one of the research trips in 2011 with Wedd on the [[Adelaide River]] they encountered a 5-metre [[crocodile]] locals call Agro eating the fish that Berra and Wedd had trapped in a net they were using in their research. Argo got his teeth into the net and before Berra and Wedd could attempt releasing it, Argo tore a "humungous hole" in the net. The rest of the day Argo followed them around the river.{{R|Agro}}
In 2009 the [[Smithsonian Institution]] received Berra's collection of 260 species of rare fishes.{{R|Dispatch}} Berra and his wife Rita M. Berra endowed the first chair established at Ohio State's regional campus. Berra hopes that the chair will be filled by a scientist that will do field work and return to teach at the Mansfield campus, also Berra made the bequest to honor his wife Rita, of whom he said "She has made my life easier for all these years and has provided unselfish support, freeing me to pursue my research". The chair is called the Tim M. and Rita M. Berra Endowed Chair in Evolutionary Biology, in the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology.{{R|Mansfield News}}
