    Ammonia and urea handling by early life stages of fishes
    Alex M. Zimmer, Patricia A. Wright, Chris M. Wood
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3843-3855; doi: 10.1242/jeb.140210

    Summary: We review the metabolic, morphological and physiological features unique to embryonic and larval fishes that are necessary to cope with an amino acid-fuelled metabolism and lack of a functional gill.

    Studying emotion in invertebrates: what has been done, what can be measured and what they can provide
    Clint J. Perry, Luigi Baciadonna
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3856-3868; doi: 10.1242/jeb.151308

    Summary: Recent work has adapted methods for assessing emotions in humans and other animals, to invertebrates, with intriguing results. This Review interprets and discusses their utility with respect to the evolution and neurobiology of emotion.

    Waiting for the Sun: the circannual programme of reindeer is delayed by the recurrence of rhythmical melatonin secretion after the arctic night
    David Hazlerigg, Arnoldus Schytte Blix, Karl-Arne Stokkan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3869-3872; doi: 10.1242/jeb.163741

    Summary: Exposure to constant light or constant darkness accelerates the onset of spring physiology in overwintering reindeer; this has implications for current models of circannual time-keeping in mammals.

    Humeral loads during swimming and walking in turtles: implications for morphological change during aquatic reinvasions
    Vanessa K H. Young, Charlotte E. Wienands, Brittany P. Wilburn, Richard W. Blob
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3873-3877; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156836

    Charlotte M. Stinson, Stephen M. Deban
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3896-3907; doi: 10.1242/jeb.164285

    Summary: Functional trade-offs of the hyobranchial apparatus result in lower tongue-projection distance, velocity, acceleration and power in semi-aquatic and aquatic salamandrids compared with terrestrial specialists.

    Beneficial effects of a heat wave: higher growth and immune components driven by a higher food intake
    Marie Van Dievel, Robby Stoks, Lizanne Janssens
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3908-3915; doi: 10.1242/jeb.158899

    Summary: Damselfly larvae benefit from a heat wave by increasing growth rate and immune components, which can be attributed to an increase in food intake.

    Alastair Brown, Sven Thatje, James P. Morris, Andrew Oliphant, Elizabeth A. Morgan, Chris Hauton, Daniel O. B. Jones, David W. Pond
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3916-3926; doi: 10.1242/jeb.158543

    Highlighted Article: Hyperbaric limitation of depth range suggests the incorporation of hydrostatic pressure into a complex model of environmental tolerance, where energy limitation constrains biogeographic range, and into the metabolic framework for ecology and evolution.

    Frequency organization of the Johnston’s organ in male mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae)
    Dmitry N. Lapshin, Dmitry D. Vorontsov
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3927-3938; doi: 10.1242/jeb.152017

    O2 binding and CO2 sensitivity in haemoglobins of subterranean African mole rats
    Roy E. Weber, Jennifer U. M. Jarvis, Angela Fago, Nigel C. Bennett
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3939-3948; doi: 10.1242/jeb.160457

    Induced parental care in a poison frog: a tadpole cross-fostering experiment
    Andrius Pašukonis, Kristina Barbara Beck, Marie-Therese Fischer, Steffen Weinlein, Susanne Stückler, Eva Ringler
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3949-3954; doi: 10.1242/jeb.165126

    Summary: Placement of unrelated tadpoles on adult poison frogs triggers a cascade of parental behaviours involving tadpole transport and spatial memory use in both sexes, despite the asymmetric parental sex roles.

    The metabolic costs of fighting and host exploitation in a seed-drilling parasitic wasp
    Romain P. Boisseau, H. Arthur Woods, Marlène Goubault
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3955-3966; doi: 10.1242/jeb.160887

    Editors' Choice: Fights between parasitoid females require little energy, but drilling through seeds to access hosts is expensive. Females avoid metabolic costs by reusing holes drilled by rivals (superparasitism).

    Hydrodynamic function of dorsal fins in spiny dogfish and bamboo sharks during steady swimming
    Anabela Maia, George V. Lauder, Cheryl D. Wilga
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3967-3975; doi: 10.1242/jeb.152215

    Upper thermal limits of growth in brook trout and their relationship to stress physiology
    Joseph G. Chadwick, Stephen D. McCormick
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3976-3987; doi: 10.1242/jeb.161224

    Summary: Elevated temperature (>22°C) reduces growth rate and induces endocrine and cellular stress responses of brook trout. Daily temperature oscillation around a mean temperature of 21°C decreases growth and increases heat shock proteins.

    Patricia Cavelier, Julien Cau, Nathalie Morin, Claude Delsert
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3988-3996; doi: 10.1242/jeb.167734

    Summary: Alkaline phosphatase activity and immunochemistry reveal that oyster germline cells are located in the gonad duct outer edge during the resting period and proliferate very early during the next sexual cycle.

    Strategies of ionoregulation in the freshwater nymph of the mayfly Hexagenia rigida
    Fargol Nowghani, Sima Jonusaite, Trudy Watson-Leung, Andrew Donini, Scott P. Kelly
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3997-4006; doi: 10.1242/jeb.166132

    Summary: Freshwater mayfly nymphs regulate salt and water balance using the alimentary canal, Malpighian tubules and tracheal gills, and data provide the first direct evidence that the tracheal gills are ion transport organs.

    Function of the hypobranchial muscles and hyoidiomandibular ligament during suction capture and bite processing in white-spotted bamboo sharks, Chiloscyllium plagiosum
    Jason B. Ramsay, Cheryl D. Wilga
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4047-4059; doi: 10.1242/jeb.165290

    Summary: Hypobranchial muscles of bamboo sharks allow for storage and release of elastic strain energy during suction feeding, which is facilitated by a four-bar linkage that links jaw and hyoid depression.

    Variation in developmental trajectories of physiological and somatic traits in a common songbird approaching fledging
    Allison Cornell, Tony D. Williams
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4060-4067; doi: 10.1242/jeb.162248

    Summary: Developmental trajectory just prior to fledging in songbirds may be hardwired across natural and experimentally manipulated environmental conditions, but shows oxidative stress cost.

    Sex hormones and the development of sexual size dimorphism: 5α-dihydrotestosterone inhibits growth in a female-larger lizard (Sceloporus undulatus)
    Nicholas B. Pollock, Stephanie Feigin, Marko Drazenovic, Henry B. John-Alder
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4068-4077; doi: 10.1242/jeb.166553

    Summary: Dihydrotestosterone mimics the effects of testosterone on growth and coloration in a female-larger lizard, and both sexes share downstream regulatory mechanisms required for growth inhibition and enhanced coloration in response to androgens.

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.
