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. Ayaka Saito is an author on ‘ Heart rate reduction during voluntary deep diving in free ranging loggerhead sea turtles’, published in JEB. Ayaka is a PhD student in the lab of Kentaro Q. Sakamoto at the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, The University of Tokyo, Japan, investigating physiological adjustment of air-breathing vertebrates during diving.
