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. Brian Whyte is an author on ' The role of body size and cuticular hydrocarbons in the desiccation resistance of invasive Argentine ants (Linepithema humile)', published in JEB. Brian conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Neil Tsutsui's lab at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Abel Bernadou at the Research Center on Animal Cognition, Center for Integrative Biology, CNRS - Université Paul Sabatier, France, investigating how animals recognize friend from foe and other social categories.
