SHORT COMMUNICATIONS

    Characterizing the distribution of steroid sulfatase during embryonic development: when and where might metabolites of maternal steroids be reactivated?
    Ryan T. Paitz, Kristin R. Duffield, Rachel M. Bowden
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4567-4570; doi: 10.1242/jeb.167031

    Summary: Steroid sulfatase activity hydrolyzes steroid sulfates back to an active form. Here we demonstrate steroid sulfatase is present in various tissues during embryonic development.

    Respiratory consequences of targeted losses of Hoxa5 gene function in mice
    Kim Landry-Truchon, Stéphanie Fournier, Nicolas Houde, Jean-Philippe Rousseau, Lucie Jeannotte, Richard Kinkead
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4571-4577; doi: 10.1242/jeb.165084

    Summary: HOXA5 is a transcription factor broadly expressed in the respiratory system; Hoxa5 expression in the mesenchyme and phrenic motor neurons controls distinct aspects of respiratory development.

    Head orientation of walking blowflies is controlled by visual and mechanical cues
    José Monteagudo, Jens P. Lindemann, Martin Egelhaaf
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4578-4582; doi: 10.1242/jeb.164129

    Summary: Both mechanical and visual cues contribute to gaze orientation during free walking in blowflies, and when visual cues are lacking, more weight is given to gravity.

    Low glucose availability stimulates progesterone production by mouse ovaries in vitro
    Kathryn Wilsterman, Aimee Pepper, George E. Bentley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4583-4588; doi: 10.1242/jeb.164384

    Summary: Mouse ovaries respond directly to low glucose availability by increasing progesterone production; this may contribute to homeostatic processes that positively regulate blood glucose.

    Fighting over burrows: the emergence of dominance hierarchies in the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus)
    Valerio Sbragaglia, David Leiva, Anna Arias, Jose Antonio GarcĂ­a, Jacopo Aguzzi, Thomas Breithaupt
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4624-4633; doi: 10.1242/jeb.165969

    Summary: Dominant Norway lobsters profit from their rank in a social hierarchy by gaining increased access to burrows and by reducing activity outside the shelters as the hierarchy emerges.

    Thermal tachypnea in avian embryos
    KĂŞnia C. BĂ­cego, Jacopo P. Mortola
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4634-4643; doi: 10.1242/jeb.171702

    Free-ranging dogs prefer petting over food in repeated interactions with unfamiliar humans
    Debottam Bhattacharjee, Shubhra Sau, Jayjit Das, Anindita Bhadra
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4654-4660; doi: 10.1242/jeb.166371

    Summary: Free-ranging dogs are generally aversive towards making direct human contact for food. Interestingly, they show enhanced interactions with humans who provide them with positive social contact.

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.
