COMMENTARY

  • You have accessSubscription required
    Oxygen- and capacity-limited thermal tolerance: bridging ecology and physiology
    Hans-O. Pörtner, Christian Bock, Felix C. Mark
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2685-2696; doi: 10.1242/jeb.134585

    Summary: In light of progressive impacts of climate warming on ecosystems, a physiological understanding of organismal thermal ranges, responses and tolerances is critical. The concept of oxygen- and capacity-limited thermal tolerance develops such an understanding by integrating findings from whole-animal to molecular levels.

    Resonance frequencies of honeybee (Apis mellifera) wings
    Christopher J. Clark, Andrew M. Mountcastle, Emily Mistick, Damian O. Elias
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2697-2700; doi: 10.1242/jeb.154609

    Summary: Normal modes of honeybee wings do not match the wingbeat frequency or harmonics, suggesting that the wings act as stiff elements when flapped.

    Differences in molecular mechanisms of K+ clearance in the auditory sensory epithelium of birds and mammals
    Viviane Wilms, Chris Söffgen, Hans Gerd Nothwang
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2701-2705; doi: 10.1242/jeb.158030

    Summary: K+ is the major charge carrier in the vertebrate inner ear, yet marked differences exist between birds and mammals in gene expression associated with K+ clearance.

RESEARCH ARTICLES

    How innate is locomotion in precocial animals? A study on the early development of spatio-temporal gait variables and gait symmetry in piglets
    Charlotte Vanden Hole, Jana Goyens, Sara Prims, Erik Fransen, Miriam Ayuso Hernando, Steven Van Cruchten, Peter Aerts, Chris Van Ginneken
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2706-2716; doi: 10.1242/jeb.157693

    Highlighted Article: Coordinated movement patterns in piglets are not entirely innate; instead, rapid neuromotor maturation also takes place in these precocial animals.

    Kinematics of ram filter feeding and beat–glide swimming in the northern anchovy Engraulis mordax
    Nicholas Carey, Jeremy A. Goldbogen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2717-2725; doi: 10.1242/jeb.158337

    Summary: The anchovy Engraulis mordax shows substantial modifications to swimming kinematics from routine behavior when ram filter feeding.

    Upper lethal temperatures in three cold-tolerant insects are higher in winter than in summer
    Henry M. Vu, John G. Duman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2726-2732; doi: 10.1242/jeb.161331

    Editors' Choice: Some insects have an increased heat tolerance in winter compared with summer, which is an undocumented and paradoxical phenomenon in insects.

    Intestinal digestive enzyme modulation in house sparrow nestlings occurs within 24 h of a change in diet composition
    Katherine H. Rott, Enrique Caviedes-Vidal, William H. Karasov
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2733-2742; doi: 10.1242/jeb.157511

    Summary: House sparrows quickly adjust to new diets with differing protein and carbohydrate content when they are less than a week old.

    Sex differences in the utilization of essential and non-essential amino acids in Lepidoptera
    Eran Levin, Marshall D. McCue, Goggy Davidowitz
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2743-2747; doi: 10.1242/jeb.154757

    Summary: Young adult male moths oxidize greater amounts of larva-derived amino acids than females, and more nectar-derived amino acids after feeding. Under starvation conditions, adult females exhibit the opposite pattern.

    Lowering metabolic rate mitigates muscle atrophy in western fence lizards
    Jordan Balaban, Emanuel Azizi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2748-2756; doi: 10.1242/jeb.154294

    Summary: Although many mechanisms can slow skeletal muscle atrophy in hibernating vertebrates, a lowered metabolic rate is sufficient to mitigate muscle atrophy in fence lizards.

    The effect of thermal acclimation on aerobic scope and critical swimming speed in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar
    Malthe Hvas, Ole Folkedal, Albert Imsland, Frode Oppedal

    Orientation of native versus translocated juvenile lesser spotted eagles (Clanga pomarina) on the first autumn migration
    Bernd-U. Meyburg, Ugis Bergmanis, Torsten Langgemach, Kai Graszynski, Arno Hinz, Ingo Börner, Christiane Meyburg, Wouter M. G. Vansteelant
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2765-2776; doi: 10.1242/jeb.148932

    Highlighted Article: In 2009, most juvenile eagles translocated from Latvia to Germany departed earlier than native juveniles and adults, and consequently failed to learn the species' traditional eastern detour around the Mediterranean.

    Insulin-like growth factor signaling regulates developmental trajectory associated with diapause in embryos of the annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus
    S. Cody Woll, Jason E. Podrabsky
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2777-2786; doi: 10.1242/jeb.151373

    Summary: Insulin-like growth factor signaling plays a critical role in regulating entrance into embryonic diapause and may determine many of the complex life history characteristics unique to annual killifishes.

    Vikram B. Baliga, Ze'ev J. Bernstein, Shivani Sundaram, Rita S. Mehta
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2787-2797; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153783

    Summary: In wrasses, jaw movements during biting are influenced by a feature on the premaxilla; labrichthyines show biting patterns distinct from those of other wrasses.

    Victor Manuel Ortega-Jimenez, Lisa von Rabenau, Robert Dudley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2809-2815; doi: 10.1242/jeb.157172

    Echo-acoustic scanning with noseleaf and ears in phyllostomid bats
    Kathrin Kugler, Lutz Wiegrebe
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2816-2824; doi: 10.1242/jeb.160309

    Individual quality via sensitivity to cysteine availability in a melanin-based honest signaling system
    Ismael Galván, Carlos Alonso-Alvarez
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2825-2833; doi: 10.1242/jeb.160333

    Summary: A physiological mechanism decreasing the sensitivity to dietary cysteine is intrinsic to low-quality male house sparrows and prevents them from developing large bibs indicative of high quality.

    Stable carbon isotopes in breath reveal fast metabolic incorporation rates and seasonally variable but rapid fat turnover in the common shrew (Sorex araneus)
    Lara Keicher, M. Teague O'Mara, Christian C. Voigt, Dina K. N. Dechmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2834-2841; doi: 10.1242/jeb.159947

    Summary: Shrews fuel their metabolism rapidly from ingested food and have such a high body fat turnover that they would starve within 4.2 h in winter without food.

Welcome to JEB’s new Editor Monica Daley

We are pleased to welcome Monica Daley to JEB’s Editorial team. Monica has had a long association with JEB before taking up her new role, overseeing peer review of neuromuscular physiology, terrestrial biomechanics and integrative physiology of locomotion.


In the field with Robyn Hetem

Continuing our fieldwork series, Robyn Hetem reflects on working with species ranging from aardvark to zebra, and the impact COVID-19 has had on fieldwork.


Read & Publish participation continues to grow

“It is particularly encouraging for early career researchers, as it allows them to display their research globally without the need to find costs to cover the open access option.”

Professor Fernando Montealegre-Z (University of Lincoln) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 150 institutions in 15 countries and four library consortia taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.


Nocturnal reef residents have deep-sea-like eyes

Fanny de Busserolles and colleagues from The University of Queensland have discovered that the eyes of nocturnal reef fish have multibank retinas, layers of photoreceptors, similar to the eyes of deep-sea fish that live in dim light conditions.


Mechanisms underlying gut microbiota–host interactions in insects

In their Review, Konstantin Schmidt and Philipp Engel summarise recent findings about the mechanisms involved in gut colonisation and the provisioning of beneficial effects in gut microbiota–insect symbiosis.
