    Pain in aquatic animals
    Lynne U. Sneddon
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 967-976; doi: 10.1242/jeb.088823

    Summary: This review discusses how aquatic animals may differ in their neurobiological and behavioural responses to injurious stimuli compared with terrestrial animals, which has interesting implications for the evolution of pain.

RESEARCH ARTICLES

    Effect of temperature on leg kinematics in sprinting tarantulas (Aphonopelma hentzi): high speed may limit hydraulic joint actuation
    N. A. Booster, F. Y. Su, S. C. Adolph, A. N. Ahn
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 977-982; doi: 10.1242/jeb.111922

    Highlighted Article: Tarantulas extend their leg joints hydraulically. The coupling between in-series, hydraulically actuated joints was lowest at the highest temperature when the animals ran the fastest with the highest stride frequencies. The coordination of multiple, in-series hydraulically actuated joints may be limited by operating speed.

    Identification and characterization of the NMDA receptor and its role in regulating reproduction in the cockroach Diploptera punctata
    Juan Huang, Ekaterina F. Hult, Elisabeth Marchal, Stephen S. Tobe
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 983-990; doi: 10.1242/jeb.115154

    Summary: The NMDA receptor in cockroaches does not appear to be involved in the regulation of JH biosynthesis and has no effect on female reproduction.

    Functional morphology of the Alligator mississippiensis larynx with implications for vocal production
    Tobias Riede, Zhiheng Li, Isao T. Tokuda, Colleen G. Farmer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 991-998; doi: 10.1242/jeb.117101

    Summary: Morphology and laryngeal biomechanics are used to model the boundaries of the alligator's available acoustic space.

    Conditioned frequency-dependent hearing sensitivity reduction in the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)
    Paul E. Nachtigall, Alexander Ya Supin
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 999-1005; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114066

    Summary: Conditioned dolphin hearing dampening, caused by pairing warning and loud sounds, was found to differ with frequency of the warning stimulus, suggesting that the hearing dampening was not due to a simple stapedial reflex.

    Effects of signal features and background noise on distance cue discrimination by a songbird
    Nina U. Pohl, Georg M. Klump, Ulrike Langemann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1006-1015; doi: 10.1242/jeb.113639

    Summary: Experiments with trained animals help understanding of how song birds perceive signals in their natural environment. We tested how background noise affects the perception of acoustic cues that aid assessing the distance of a sound source.

    Cheating on the mutualistic contract: nutritional gain through seed predation in the frugivorous bat Chiroderma villosum (Phyllostomidae)
    Insa Wagner, Jörg U. Ganzhorn, Elisabeth K. V. Kalko, Marco Tschapka
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1016-1021; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114322

    Highlighted Article: The frugivorous bat Chiroderma villosum obtains extra protein and fat by not only eating fruit pulp but also chewing seeds instead of dispersing them.

    The role of the cerebral ganglia in the venom-induced behavioral manipulation of cockroaches stung by the parasitoid jewel wasp
    Maayan Kaiser, Frederic Libersat
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1022-1027; doi: 10.1242/jeb.116491

    Summary: We show that venom injection by the jewel wasp to either the subesophageal ganglion or the central complex in the brain is, by itself, sufficient to induce a long-term hypokinetic state in its cockroach prey.

    Intraspecific scaling of the minimum metabolic cost of transport in leghorn chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus): links with limb kinematics, morphometrics and posture
    Kayleigh A. Rose, Robert L. Nudds, Jonathan R. Codd
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1028-1034; doi: 10.1242/jeb.111393

    Summary: Chickens with differing body size and posture but similar skeletal shape show no difference in the cost of transport.

    Nathan F. Putman, Philippe Verley, Courtney S. Endres, Kenneth J. Lohmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1044-1050; doi: 10.1242/jeb.109975

    Highlighted Article: Lab-based experiments and simulations of observed behavior in an ocean circulation model give new insight into how magnetic navigation shapes the ecology of small sea turtles.

    Bumblebees measure optic flow for position and speed control flexibly within the frontal visual field
    Nellie Linander, Marie Dacke, Emily Baird
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1051-1059; doi: 10.1242/jeb.107409

    Summary: Bumblebees control their flight using motion cues generated by the nearest obstacles in the frontal visual field, a strategy that enables them to fly safely in cluttered environments.

    Transcriptional responses to fluctuating thermal regimes underpinning differences in survival in the solitary bee Megachile rotundata
    Alex S. Torson, George D. Yocum, Joseph P. Rinehart, William P. Kemp, Julia H. Bowsher
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1060-1068; doi: 10.1242/jeb.113829

    Summary: Transcripts associated with chill injury, neurological development and longevity are up-regulated in bees exposed to fluctuating temperatures during post-diapause quiescence.

    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1069-1076; doi: 10.1242/jeb.115915

    Summary: The ability of the motor system to adapt and modify motor primitives is shown by introducing a physical constraint to the octopus arm.

    Natural selection constrains personality and brain gene expression differences in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
    Per-Ove Thörnqvist, Erik Höglund, Svante Winberg
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1077-1083; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114314

    Summary: In Atlantic salmon, time of emergence from the nest is a trait linked to boldness, brain gene expression and monoaminergic function. This suggests divergent stress coping strategies of early and late emerging fish.

    Ocean acidification impacts on sperm mitochondrial membrane potential bring sperm swimming behaviour near its tipping point
    Peter Schlegel, Monique T. Binet, Jonathan N. Havenhand, Christopher J. Doyle, Jane E. Williamson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1084-1090; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114900

    Highlighted Article: Sea urchin sperm motility under acidified conditions is shown to be related to reduced mitochondrial potential. Future forecasts of ocean acidification could place sea urchin sperm at their tolerance threshold.

    Social dominance and reproductive differentiation mediated by dopaminergic signaling in a queenless ant
    Yasukazu Okada, Ken Sasaki, Satoshi Miyazaki, Hiroyuki Shimoji, Kazuki Tsuji, Toru Miura
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1091-1098; doi: 10.1242/jeb.118414

    Summary: Dominant Diacamma ants have higher brain dopamine levels than subordinates and the fat body is the potential target of dopamine that mediates reproduction.

    Mechanical challenges to freshwater residency in sharks and rays
    Adrian C. Gleiss, Jean Potvin, James J. Keleher, Jeff M. Whitty, David L. Morgan, Jeremy A. Goldbogen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1099-1110; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114868

    Summary: The high negative buoyancy of elasmobranchs increases the cost of locomotion and may be responsible for the scarcity of sharks in fresh water.

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.

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.
