ECR Spotlight – Jean-Noël Houchat

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Jean-Noël Houchat is an author on ‘ Barometric pressure decrease induces density dependent changes in foraging behaviour in a parasitoid fly’, published in JEB. Jean-Noël conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc in the Laboratorio de Entomología Experimental - Grupo de Investigación en Ecofisiología de Parasitoides y Otros Insectos (LEE-GIEP), Universidad de Buenos Aires. He is now a postdoc in the Laboratorio de Neurofisiología y Ritmos Biológicos, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, investigating insect neurobiology and behavior, toxicology, and control of pest insects.
