RESEARCH ARTICLES

    Turbulence induces metabolically costly behaviors and inhibits food capture in oyster larvae, causing net energy loss
    Heidi L. Fuchs, Jaclyn A. Specht, Diane K. Adams, Adam J. Christman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3419-3431; doi: 10.1242/jeb.161125

    Editors' Choice: Late-stage oyster larvae are unable to gain energy in strong turbulence, even at very high food concentrations, because turbulence induces metabolically costly behaviors while inhibiting food capture.

    Changes of loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) dive behavior associated with tropical storm passage during the inter-nesting period
    Maria Wilson, Anton D. Tucker, Kristian Beedholm, David A. Mann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3432-3441; doi: 10.1242/jeb.162644

    Summary: Data retrieved from motion dataloggers and satellite tags showed that a tropical storm can have a large effect on swimming energetics of a sea turtle, but has little effect on nesting.

    Thermal imprinting modifies bone homeostasis in cold-challenged sea bream (Sparus aurata)
    Ana Patrícia Mateus, Rita Costa, Enric Gisbert, Patricia I. S. Pinto, Karl B. Andree, Alicia Estévez, Deborah M. Power
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3442-3454; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156174

    Summary: Variation in water temperature during early development in sea bream alters the response of adult fish to a cold challenge and is associated with a change in whole animal physiology and bone homeostasis.

    The nervous system does not compensate for an acute change in the balance of passive force between synergist muscles
    Lilian Lacourpaille, Antoine Nordez, François Hug
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3455-3463; doi: 10.1242/jeb.163303

    Summary: Force sharing between the three heads of the triceps surae during submaximal contractions changes as a function of ankle angle, and the magnitude of this change is individual specific.

    Controlling thoracic pressures in cetaceans during a breath-hold dive: importance of the diaphragm
    Margo A. Lillie, A. Wayne Vogl, Stephen Raverty, Martin Haulena, William A. McLellan, Garry B. Stenson, Robert E. Shadwick
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3464-3477; doi: 10.1242/jeb.162289

    Highlighted Article: Stiffening the cetacean diaphragm may stabilize thoracic pressures during a breath-hold dive but it could also cause pressure problems for some of the arteries.

    Honeybees in a virtual reality environment learn unique combinations of colour and shape
    Claire Rusch, Eatai Roth, Clément Vinauger, Jeffrey A. Riffell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3478-3487; doi: 10.1242/jeb.164731

    Summary: A novel virtual reality environment and paradigm for visual training in walking honeybees shows that bees learn certain visual components over others (colour over shape), and interaction between components is crucial for visual learning in walking bees.

    Avian thermoregulation in the heat: evaporative cooling capacity of arid-zone Caprimulgiformes from two continents
    William A. Talbot, Todd J. McWhorter, Alexander R. Gerson, Andrew E. McKechnie, Blair O. Wolf
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3488-3498; doi: 10.1242/jeb.161653

    Summary: Caprimulgiformes demonstrate high heat tolerance that is mediated by low rates of resting metabolism and a very efficient evaporative process that uses a gular flutter mechanism.

    Role of outstretched forelegs of flying beetles revealed and demonstrated by remote leg stimulation in free flight
    Yao Li, Feng Cao, Tat Thang Vo Doan, Hirotaka Sato
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3499-3507; doi: 10.1242/jeb.159376

    Summary: The forelegs of beetles were found to voluntarily swing to assist with flight yaw rotation. Remote control of left–right turnings by inducing leg swings was demonstrated via a wireless electrical stimulator.

    Maximum thermal limits of coral reef damselfishes are size dependent and resilient to near-future ocean acidification
    Timothy D. Clark, Dominique G. Roche, Sandra A. Binning, Ben Speers-Roesch, Josefin Sundin
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3519-3526; doi: 10.1242/jeb.162529

    Summary: Despite a widespread perception that end-of-century ocean acidification will reduce the thermal limits of fishes, we show that critical thermal maxima of coral reef damselfishes are robust to this stressor.

    Chronic warm exposure impairs growth performance and reduces thermal safety margins in the common triplefin fish (Forsterygion lapillum)
    Tristan J. McArley, Anthony J. R. Hickey, Neill A. Herbert
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3527-3535; doi: 10.1242/jeb.162099

    Essie M. Rodgers, Craig E. Franklin
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3556-3564; doi: 10.1242/jeb.155440

    Highlighted Article: Investigation of the physiological mechanisms underlying compromised fright-dive capacity at elevated temperatures in juvenile estuarine crocodiles indicates that reduced capacity for metabolic depression and increased metabolic demands underlie shortened dive durations.

    Feeding begets drinking: insights from intermittent feeding in snakes
    Harvey B. Lillywhite
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3565-3570; doi: 10.1242/jeb.163725

    Summary: Quantification of freshwater drinking in relation to feeding in four species of snakes shows that postprandial relative to preprandial drinking is greater in all species, indicating that meal digestion increases the physiological requirement for 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.


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.
