ECR Spotlight – Carolin Nieder

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. Carolin Nieder is an author on ‘ Comparison of auditory evoked potential thresholds in three shark species’ and ‘Comparison of acoustic particle acceleration detection capabilities in three shark species’, published in JEB. Carolin conducted the research described in these articles while a PhD student in Craig Radford and Andrew Jeff's lab at Institute of Marine Science, University of Auckland. She investigates the sensory and behavioural ecology of marine animals, with a particular passion for the perception of underwater sound.
