ECR Spotlight – Mathilde Chevallay

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. Mathilde Chevallay is an author on ‘ Sealing the deal – Antarctic fur seals’ hunting tactics to capture small evasive prey revealed by miniature sonar tags’, published in JEB. Mathilde is a PhD student in the lab of Christophe Guinet and Tiphaine Jeanniard du Dot at Centre d'Etudes Biologiques de Chizé, France, investigating fine-scale predator–prey interactions in diving predators of the Southern Ocean using state-of-the-art biologging devices.
