ECR Spotlight – Pedro Julião Jimenez

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. Pedro Julião Jimenez is an author on ‘ Divergent respiratory modes drive differences in heat tolerance and habitat use among tropical intertidal crabs’, published in JEB. Pedro conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Stefano Cannicci's lab at The Swire Institute of Marine Science, Hong Kong, China. He is now a teaching consultant in the lab of Moriaki Yasuhara at the School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong, investigating macroecological and macrophysiological responses of organisms to environmental change.
