    The engineering of the giant dragonflies of the Permian: revised body mass, power, air supply, thermoregulation and the role of air density
    Alan E. R. Cannell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb185405 doi: 10.1242/jeb.185405 Published 11 October 2018

    Summary: The giant dragonflies of the Permian would have rapidly overheated during flight. It is proposed that thermal equilibrium could have been maintained through aspects of physiology, behaviour and higher air density.

    Blood pressure in the Greenland shark as estimated from ventral aortic elasticity
    Robert E. Shadwick, Diego Bernal, Peter G. Bushnell, John F. Steffensen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb186957 doi: 10.1242/jeb.186957 Published 10 October 2018

    Summary: Greenland shark arterial blood pressure is predicted to be very low (2.3–2.8kPa), based on the elasticity of its ventral aorta, supporting the idea that this species has a low aerobic metabolism.

    Individual differences in heart rate reveal a broad range of autonomic phenotypes in a free-living seabird population
    Martina S. Müller, Alexei L. Vyssotski, Maki Yamamoto, Ken Yoda

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.


Critical temperature window sends migratory black-headed buntings on their travels

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.
