    Insect navigation: do ants live in the now?
    Paul Graham, Michael Mangan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 819-823; doi: 10.1242/jeb.065409

    Summary: Ant navigation has traditionally been thought of as an example of how complex behaviour can come from simple mechanisms. We review recent results that show how an ant's navigational mechanisms are more complex than previously thought.

RESEARCH ARTICLES

    Feeding in billfishes: inferring the role of the rostrum from a biomechanical standpoint
    Maria L. Habegger, Mason N. Dean, John W. C. Dunlop, Gray Mullins, Michael Stokes, Daniel R. Huber, Daniel Winters, Philip J. Motta
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 824-836; doi: 10.1242/jeb.106146

    Summary: Biomechanical differences derived from rostrum morphology and composition lead to species-specific feeding behavior in billfishes.

    Evolutionary adaptations for the temporal processing of natural sounds by the anuran peripheral auditory system
    Katrina M. Schrode, Mark A. Bee
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 837-848; doi: 10.1242/jeb.115014

    Summary: Peripheral auditory systems of treefrogs are evolutionarily adapted to process the temporal fluctuations inherent in conspecific communication signals.

    Species-specific loss of sexual dimorphism in vocal effectors accompanies vocal simplification in African clawed frogs (Xenopus)
    Elizabeth C. Leininger, Ken Kitayama, Darcy B. Kelley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 849-857; doi: 10.1242/jeb.115048

    Highlighted article: How do nervous systems change evolutionarily to generate species-specific behaviors? The simplified male courtship songs of a frog, Xenopus borealis, reflect feminization of the larynx and its connection to the brain.

    Symbiont type influences trophic plasticity of a model cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis
    Miguel C. Leal, Kenneth Hoadley, D. Tye Pettay, Alejandro Grajales, Ricardo Calado, Mark E. Warner
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 858-863; doi: 10.1242/jeb.115519

    Summary: Not all cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbioses are equally nutritionally advantageous to the animal as the genetic identity of the symbiont affects the host's feeding capacity.

    Body saccades of Drosophila consist of stereotyped banked turns
    Florian T. Muijres, Michael J. Elzinga, Nicole A. Iwasaki, Michael H. Dickinson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 864-875; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114280

    Summary: Using high-speed 3D videography and a dynamically scaled robotic fly, we studied the biomechanics and aerodynamics of saccadic turns in flying flies. We show that these maneuvers are remarkably stereotypic.

    Six degree-of-freedom analysis of hip, knee, ankle and foot provides updated understanding of biomechanical work during human walking
    Karl E. Zelik, Kota Z. Takahashi, Gregory S. Sawicki
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 876-886; doi: 10.1242/jeb.115451

    Highlighted article: Six degree-of-freedom (6DOF) analysis of hip–knee–ankle–foot better captures energy changes of the body during gait than conventional 3DOF joint work estimates, revealing increased work contributions from the hip.

    Response to a change in the target nest during ant relocation
    Karunakaran Anoop, Annagiri Sumana
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 887-892; doi: 10.1242/jeb.115246

    Summary: Colonies of relocating ants show remarkable flexibility in their ability to reassess and modify their response when their target nest is changed midway through relocation.

    How effective are acoustic signals in territorial defence in the Lusitanian toadfish?
    Carlotta Conti, Paulo J. Fonseca, Marta Picciulin, M. Clara P. Amorim
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 893-898; doi: 10.1242/jeb.116673

    Summary: Muting experiments show that fish sounds are efficient territorial ‘keep-out’ signals, similar to bird song.

    Making Olympic lizards: the effects of specialised exercise training on performance
    Jerry F. Husak, Allison R. Keith, Beth N. Wittry
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 899-906; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114975

    Summary: Specialised training in lizards leads to dramatic increases in performance and changes in physiology.

    Acoustic models of orangutan hand-assisted alarm calls
    Bart de Boer, Serge A. Wich, Madeleine E. Hardus, Adriano R. Lameira
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 907-914; doi: 10.1242/jeb.110577

    Highlighted article: Orangutans modify the calls they make to predators with their hands. The acoustic effect is that their calls then sound as if they were made by a bigger animal.

    Spectral sensitivity in Onychophora (velvet worms) revealed by electroretinograms, phototactic behaviour and opsin gene expression
    Holger Beckmann, Lars Hering, Miriam J. Henze, Almut Kelber, Paul A. Stevenson, Georg Mayer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 915-922; doi: 10.1242/jeb.116780

    Summary: The simple eyes of velvet worms contain only one visual pigment based on onychopsin that detects blue-green light, which the animals actively avoid.

    Sequential exposure to a combination of stressors blocks memory reconsolidation in Lymnaea
    Shawn Xavier Dodd, Ken Lukowiak
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 923-930; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114876

    Summary: Reconsolidation occurs after a memory has been activated. We show here that a combination of stressors can block this process.

    Pregnancy limits lung function during exercise and depresses metabolic rate in the skink Tiliqua nigrolutea
    Suzanne L. Munns, Ashley Edwards, Stewart Nicol, Peter B. Frappell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 931-939; doi: 10.1242/jeb.111450

    Highlighted article: Pregnancy depresses metabolic rate in blotched blue tongue lizards and limits exercise ability. Despite the developing fetuses compressing the lungs, gas diffusion ability was not altered.

    Vocalisations of the bigeye Pempheris adspersa: characteristics, source level and active space
    Craig A. Radford, Shahriman Ghazali, Andrew G. Jeffs, John C. Montgomery
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 940-948; doi: 10.1242/jeb.115295

    Summary: This paper details the bigeye vocalisation and the potential detection distances of the vocalisation under different noise regimes.

    Learning context modulates aversive taste strength in honey bees

    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 949-959; doi: 10.1242/jeb.117333

    Summary: Learning context is a key modulator of taste in the honey bee.

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.


Critical temperature window sends migratory black-headed buntings on their travels

The spring rise in temperature at black-headed bunting overwintering sites is essential for triggering the physical changes that they undergo before embarking on their spring migration – read more.


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.
