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. Keity Johanna Farfán Pira is an author on ‘ A cis-regulatory sequence of the selector gene vestigial drives the evolution of wing scaling in Drosophila species’, published in JEB. Keity Johanna conducted the research described in this article on the selector gene vestigial and its role in wing size evolution in Drosophila species in Marcos Nahmad's lab at Cinvestav-IPN, Mexico City, Mexico. She is now a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Erica L. Westerman at University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, USA, investigating evo-devo of regulatory regions and genes in determinant processes of development and behavior in insects.
