Spotlight interview showcases Jonathan Huie's work on salamander climbing performance and ECR diversity.
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. Jonathan Huie is an author on ‘ Limb kinematics and morphology improve salamander climbing performance’, published in JEB. Jonathan conducted the research described in this article while a PhD Student in Sandy Kawano's lab at The George Washington University, Department of Biological Sciences, USA. Jonathan is now a Postdoctoral Researcher in the lab of Christopher Martinez at University of California Irvine, USA, investigating the evolution and diversification of vertebrate form and function.
