ECR Spotlight – Julia Watson and Chloé Souques

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. Julia Watson and Chloé Souques are authors on ‘ A multi-scaling approach showing a transient metabolic mismatch in a freshwater fish (Zingel asper) during an acute heat stress’, published in JEB. Julia is a PhD student in the lab of Loïc Teulier and Martin Daufresne at Laboratoire d’Écologie des Hydrosystèmes Naturels et Anthropisés (LEHNA) – Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France, investigating the effect of temperature on the whole body and cellular metabolism in freshwater fish from the Rhône river in France. Chloé is a PhD student in the lab of François-Xavier Dechaume-Montcharmont, Loïc Teulier and Yann Voituron at Laboratoire d’Écologie des Hydrosystèmes Naturels et Anthropisés (LEHNA) – Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France, investigating whole-organism ecophysiological and behavioural responses to thermal stochasticity in freshwater fish.
