[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Maxime Fraser Franco. Date: 06 July 2021. Position: PhD Student. Research and/or work interests: My main research interest is on predator-prey interactions. I focus on studying the ecological and proximal mechanisms that shape the coexistence of foraging specialists and generalists within predator populations. More precisely, I evaluate how individual differences in predator foraging specialization defines individual differences in the type of prey they capture.

Bringing metascience insights from other disciplines to ecology. If you had the power to change one thing about current research practices in your field, what would it be? If I could change one thing about current research practices I would like to see the incentive to publish research quickly removed so that people could conduct more careful, nuanced research.
