ECR Spotlight – Fred Tremblay

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. Fred Tremblay is an author on ‘ Time–energy budgets outperform dynamic body acceleration in predicting daily energy expenditure in kittiwakes, and estimate a very low cost of gliding flight relative to flapping’, published in JEB. Fred conducted the research described in this article while a Master's student in Kyle Elliott's lab at McGill University, Canada. She is now a Wildlife Biologist in the Canadian Wildlife Service, investigating seabird ecology, ecophysiology and more recently migratory bird harvest management.
