ECR Spotlight – Chloé Chabaud

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 during our centenary year but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Chloé Chabaud is an author on ‘ Prey consumption does not restore hydration state but mitigates the energetic costs of water deprivation in an insectivorous lizard’, published in JEB. Chloé conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Jean-François Le Galliard and Olivier Lourdais's lab at Sorbonne Université and La Rochelle Université, France. She is now a post-doc in the lab of Natasha Tigreros at The University of Arizona, Tucson, USA, investigating the evolutionary ecology and physiology of interspecific relationships under climate change.
