ECR Spotlight – Yuan-Jie Li

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. Yuan-Jie Li is an author on ‘ Metabolic responses reveal insight into interspecific variation in heat tolerance of three co-existing pest aphid species’, published in JEB. Yuan-Jie conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Hervé Colinet's lab at University of Rennes, France. Yuan-Jie is now a postdoc in the lab of Hannes Schuler at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, investigating how insects adapt to their environment from gene to community level.
