Abstract
ABSTRACTFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Sarah Hoffmann is first author on ‘Three-dimensional movements of the pectoral fin during yaw turns in the Pacific spiny dogfish, Squalus suckleyi’, published in BiO. Sarah is a PhD Candidate in the lab of Dr Marianne Porter at Florida Atlantic University, USA, investigating the functionality of whole ecosystems.

Sarah Hoffmann is first author on ‘Three-dimensional movements of the pectoral fin during yaw turns in the Pacific spiny dogfish, Squalus suckleyi’, published in BiO
My dissertation focuses on the comparative morphology and function of pectoral fins among sharks with varied whole-body morphology, locomotor style and habitat use
Summary
What are the potential implications of these results for your field of research? In this paper, we added to existing data demonstrating that shark pectoral fins are highly mobile control surfaces that play a major role in maneuvering.
