Abstract
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. Jeanne Brülhart is an author on ‘ Sex- and caste-specific developmental responses to juvenile hormone in an ant with maternal caste determination’, published in JEB. Jeanne conducted the research described in this article while a research assistant in Eva Schultner's lab at University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany. She is now a PhD student in the lab of Michel Chapuisat at University of Lausanne, Switzerland, investigating cooperation and conflicts in evolution, and their underlying proximate mechanisms.
