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. Ralph Lacerda de Albuquerque is an author on ‘ Lower-level predictors and behavioral correlates of maximal aerobic capacity and sprint speed among individual lizards’, published in JEB. Ralph conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Theodore Garland, Jr’s lab at University of California, Riverside. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Daniel Oliveira Mesquita at Universidade Federal da Paraíba, Brazil, investigating how animal morphology and physiology have been shaped by past natural and sexual selection and how they limit animals’ capacities and influence their behavior.
