ECR Spotlight – Rune Sørås

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. Rune Sørås is an author on ‘ High latitude northern bats (Eptesicus nilssonii) reveal adaptations to high and low ambient temperatures’, published in JEB. Rune conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Clare Stawski's lab at the Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway. Rune is primarily interested in understanding the physiological traits of birds and mammals as a tool to better understand how we can aid in the conservation of these animals.
