ECR Spotlight – Kina Hayashi

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. Kina Hayashi is an author on ‘ Counting Nemo: anemonefish Amphiprion ocellaris identify species by number of white bars’, published in JEB. Kina is a postdoc in the lab of Vincent Laudet at Marine Eco-Evo-Devo Unit, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan, investigating the ecology of anemonefish (population dynamics, community structure, coexistence mechanisms, behavior, etc.) in the Ryukyu Islands.
