Interview reveals impacts of climate warming on reptiles, suggesting risks like DNA damage in common wall lizards.
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. Miary Raselimanana is an author on ‘ Experimental winter warming increases activity with signs of potential DNA damage in common wall lizards’, published in JEB. Miary is a PhD student in the lab of Kirsty MacLeod at the School of Environmental and Natural Sciences, Bangor University, UK, investigating how global changes, namely climate warming, affect reptiles.
