    Hypercapnia and low pH induce neuroepithelial cell proliferation and emersion behaviour in the amphibious fish Kryptolebias marmoratus
    Cayleih E. Robertson, Andy J. Turko, Michael G. Jonz, Patricia A. Wright
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2987-2990; doi: 10.1242/jeb.123133

    Will jumping snails prevail? Influence of near-future CO2, temperature and hypoxia on respiratory performance in the tropical conch Gibberulus gibberulus gibbosus
    Sjannie Lefevre, Sue-Ann Watson, Philip L. Munday, Göran E. Nilsson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2991-3001; doi: 10.1242/jeb.120717

    Highlighted Article: The respiratory capacity of the humpbacked conch, a jumping snail, appears sufficient not only for today's needs but also for those in a warmer acidified future.

    Focal enhancement of the skeleton to exercise correlates with responsivity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells rather than peak external forces
    Ian J. Wallace, Gabriel M. Pagnotti, Jasper Rubin-Sigler, Matthew Naeher, Lynn E. Copes, Stefan Judex, Clinton T. Rubin, Brigitte Demes
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3002-3009; doi: 10.1242/jeb.118729

    Summary: The ability of the progenitor population to differentiate toward bone-forming cells may be a better correlate to bone structural adaptation than external forces generated by exercise.

    How do treadmill speed and terrain visibility influence neuromuscular control of guinea fowl locomotion?
    Joanne C. Gordon, Jeffery W. Rankin, Monica A. Daley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3010-3022; doi: 10.1242/jeb.104646

    Summary: Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) show speed-dependent shifts in neuromuscular control during obstacle negotiation, characterized by a greater reliance on anticipatory modulation and stride-to-stride neural adjustments at slow speed, shifting towards feedforward activation and intrinsic mechanical stability at high speed.

    Physiological, pharmacological and behavioral evidence for a TRPA1 channel that can elicit defensive responses in the medicinal leech
    Torrie Summers, Yanqing Wang, Brandon Hanten, Brian D. Burrell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3023-3031; doi: 10.1242/jeb.120600

    Summary: Physiological and behavioral evidence indicates the presence of a TRPA1-like channel in the medicinal leech Hirudo verbana that responds to both reactive electrophiles and moderate cold.

    Lipid composition and molecular interactions change with depth in the avian stratum corneum to regulate cutaneous water loss
    Alex M. Champagne, Heather C. Allen, Joseph B. Williams
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3032-3041; doi: 10.1242/jeb.125310

    Highlighted Article: Lipid composition changes with depth in the avian skin, but these changes vary by season. This seasonal variation affects rates of cutaneous water loss.

    A novel acoustic-vibratory multimodal duet
    Kaveri Rajaraman, Vamsy Godthi, Rudra Pratap, Rohini Balakrishnan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3042-3050; doi: 10.1242/jeb.122911

    Summary: Paleotropical false-leaf bushcrickets exhibit a novel multimodal duet with alternating male acoustic calls and female tremulation signals; this functions in mate localization and may have evolved under predator pressure.

    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3068-3076; doi: 10.1242/jeb.123166

    Summary: When developing ectotherms cannot reduce the costs of daily temperature fluctuations through phenotypic plasticity, effects on the rate of development may determine fitness consequences.

    Building a dishonest signal: the functional basis of unreliable signals of strength in males of the two-toned fiddler crab, Uca vomeris
    Candice L. Bywater, Frank Seebacher, Robbie S. Wilson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3077-3082; doi: 10.1242/jeb.120857

    Summary: The frequencies of reliable and unreliable signals of strength in Uca vomeris are influenced by the structural and physiological mechanisms behind force production in the major claw.

    Effects of insulin and its related signaling pathways on lipid metabolism in the yellow catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco
    Mei-Qin Zhuo, Zhi Luo, Ya-Xiong Pan, Kun Wu, Yao-Fang Fan, Li-Han Zhang, Yu-Feng Song
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3083-3090; doi: 10.1242/jeb.124271

    Summary: Insulin plays a regulatory role in hepatic metabolism in yellow catfish, increasing lipid and triglyceride accumulation. These changes are mediated by the modulation of PPARα, PPARγ and PI3K signaling pathways.

    Amazon river dolphins (Inia geoffrensis) use a high-frequency short-range biosonar
    Michael Ladegaard, Frants Havmand Jensen, Mafalda de Freitas, Vera Maria Ferreira da Silva, Peter Teglberg Madsen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3091-3101; doi: 10.1242/jeb.120501

    Highlighted Article: Amazon river dolphins inhabit an acoustically complex habitat, where they employ a short-range biosonar with source parameters not predictable from body size alone, suggesting that habitat is an important evolutionary co-driver of toothed whale biosonar.

    Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) locomotion: gaits and ground reaction forces
    Catherine L. Shine, Skylar Penberthy, Charles T. Robbins, O. Lynne Nelson, Craig P. McGowan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3102-3109; doi: 10.1242/jeb.121806

    Summary: Grizzly bear locomotion has some similarities to that of previously studied animals, but they do not appear to trot and produce relatively high mediolateral forces.

    Circadian modulation of learning ability in a disease vector insect, Rhodnius prolixus
    Clément Vinauger, Claudio R. Lazzari
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3110-3117; doi: 10.1242/jeb.119057

    Summary: Kissing bugs learn well during the night but not during the day, as their ability to acquire information – but not to retrieve it – is modulated by time.

    Double-network gels and the toughness of terrestrial slug glue
    Alex M. Wilks, Sarah R. Rabice, Holland S. Garbacz, Cailin C. Harro, Andrew M. Smith

Meet the Editors at SICB Virtual 2021

Reserve your place to join some of the journal editors, including Editor-in-Chief Craig Franklin, at our Meet the Editor session on 17 February at 2pm (EST). Don’t forget to view our SICB Subject Collection, featuring relevant JEB papers relating to some of the symposia sessions.


2020 at The Company of Biologists

Despite 2020's challenges, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. As we enter a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.


The Big Biology podcast

JEB author Christine Cooper talks to Big Biology about her research. In this fascinating JEB sponsored podcast she tells us how tough zebra finches adjust their physiology to cope with extreme climate events. 


Developmental and reproductive physiology of small mammals at high altitude

Cayleih Robertson and Kathryn Wilsterman focus on high-altitude populations of the North American deer mouse in their review of the challenges and evolutionary innovations of pregnant and nursing small mammals at high altitude.


Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“Being able to publish Open Access articles free of charge means that my article gets maximum exposure and has maximum impact, and that all my peers can read it regardless of the agreements that their universities have with publishers.”

Professor Roi Holzman (Tel Aviv University) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
