ECR Spotlight – Leonardo Turchen

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. Leonardo Turchen is an author on ‘ Buzzing boundaries: tiny caterpillars vibrate to defend leaf tip territories’, published in JEB. Leonardo is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the lab of Jayne Yack at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, investigating how larval insects generate and use vibroacoustic signals and their functions.
