Journal of Experimental Biology is the leading primary research journal in comparative physiology and publishes papers on the form and function of living organisms at all levels of biological organisation, from the molecular and subcellular to the integrated whole animal.

Our authors and readers reflect a broad interdisciplinary group of scientists who study molecular, cellular and organismal physiology in an evolutionary and environmental context.

Genome editing for comparative physiology

Guest editors: Michael H. Dickinson, Leslie B. Vosshall and Julian A. T. Dow

For almost 100 years, biologists have made fundamental discoveries using a handful of model organisms that are not representative of the rich diversity found in nature. The advent of CRISPR genome editing now opens up a wide range of new organisms to mechanistic investigation,  increasing not only the taxonomic breadth of current research but also the scope of biological problems amenable to study. This special issue addresses a broad spectrum of biological problems in non-model organisms and highlights the utility of genome editing across levels of complexity from development and physiology to behaviour and evolution.

Different amplitudes of temperature fluctuation induce distinct transcriptomic and metabolomic responses in the dung beetle Phanaeus vindex

Kimberly S. Sheldon, Mojgan Padash, Amanda W. Carter and Katie E. Marshall

Dung beetles express different genes depending on whether they are experiencing small or large temperature variations, so high-amplitude temperature fluctuations aren't just 'more of the same' at the transcriptomic level
