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. Alexandra Cones is an author on ‘ The incubation environment does not explain significant variation in heart rate plasticity among avian embryos’, published in JEB. Alexandra conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in David F. Westneat's lab at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY, USA. She is now a DFG postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr Niels Dingemanse at LMU München, Germany, investigating environmental effects on the expression and covariation of plastic traits.
