ECR Spotlight – Liqiu Tang

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. Liqiu Tang is an author on ‘ Gut microbiota are involved in leptin-induced thermoregulation in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus)’, published in JEB. Liqiu is a PhD student in the lab of Dehua Wang at the State Key Laboratory of Integrated Management of Pest Insects and Rodents, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, investigating physiological ecology of small mammals.
