    Why arboreal snakes should not be cylindrical: body shape, incline and surface roughness have interactive effects on locomotion
    Bruce C. Jayne, Steven J. Newman, Michele M. Zentkovich, H. Matthew Berns
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3978-3986; doi: 10.1242/jeb.129379

    Highlighted Article: For snake locomotion, the effects of surface roughness and steepness are interactive and species dependent, partly because some species have specialized non-cylindrical shapes that facilitate catching small surface protrusions.

Editorial – The changing of the guard

In his Editorial, Hans Hoppeler announces that he will be stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of JEB in July 2020. He reflects on the history of JEB, why he has enjoyed his tenure as JEB’s Editor-in-Chief and the recent developments in the publishing world.


Big Biology podcast

JEB is partnering with the Big Biology podcast and in this sponsored episode, JEB Editor Michael Dickinson talks to the Big Biology team about the aerodynamic mechanisms of insect flight, how insects control flight with their tiny 100k neuron brain and his recent JEB paper showing how fruit flies navigate using the sun and polarized light as a compass.


Editors’ choice – An appetite for invasion: digestive physiology, thermal performance and food intake in lionfish (Pterois spp.)

A lionfish

Invasive lionfish are a colossal problem in the Mediterranean Sea and western Atlantic Ocean. Now it turns out that they are successful invaders because they invest more energy in digestion than moving about.

Commentary – Yank: the time derivative of force is an important biomechanical variable in sensorimotor systems

A diagram showing the multi-scale anatomical structures and processes that determine the magnitude of yank

The derivative of force with respect to time does not have a standard term in physics. In their new Commentary, David C. Lin and his colleagues propose that the term ‘yank’ should be used to denote the time derivative of force.


Inside JEB – Springy ankle tether saves runners

Time-lapse photographs of a runner using the exotendon.

Runners waste energy every time their legs stop swinging, but now a team of scientists from the US and Canada have shown that a springy ankle tether can reduce runners’ energy costs by 6.4%, which is nearly the entire cost of swinging the limbs. Read the full research article here.
