ECR Spotlight – Anna Kawamoto

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. Anna Kawamoto is an author on ‘ How lacertids resolve spatial details: visual acuity in the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis)’, published in JEB. Anna is a PhD student in the lab of Dr Enrique Font and Dr Guillem Pérez i De Lanuza at Ethology Lab, Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, Spain, investigating the role, mechanism, function and evolution of colour-based visual signals in reptiles’ behavioural ecology and communication.
