COMMENTARY

  • You have accessSubscription required
    The stalk-eyed fly as a model for aggression – is there a conserved role for 5-HT between vertebrates and invertebrates?
    Andrew N. Bubak, Michael J. Watt, Jazmine D. W. Yaeger, Kenneth J. Renner, John G. Swallow
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb132159 doi: 10.1242/jeb.132159 Published 2 January 2020

    Summary: We propose that the role of 5-HT in modulating invertebrate aggression is more nuanced than previously appreciated; there is evidence for distinct roles of 5-HT receptor subtypes in stalk-eyed flies, similar to the situation in vertebrates.

SHORT COMMUNICATIONS

    The energetics of ‘airtime’: estimating swim power from breaching behaviour in fishes and cetaceans
    Lewis G. Halsey, Gil Iosilevskii
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb216036 doi: 10.1242/jeb.216036 Published 13 January 2020

    Highlighted Article: Analyses of 14 fish and cetaceans during breaches indicates that the universal upper boundary of power production is ∼200 W kg−1 muscle, which matches maximum power recorded by animals under any other circumstances.

    Why do muscles lose torque potential when activated within their agonistic group?
    Heiliane de Brito Fontana, Daiani de Campos, Andrew Sawatsky, Seong-won Han, Walter Herzog
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb213843 doi: 10.1242/jeb.213843 Published 7 January 2020

    Summary: Muscles lose torque potential when activated with their agonistic group and this deficit is not associated with smaller moment arms, changes in inter-muscular pressure or inter-muscular force transfer.

    A selfish genetic element linked to increased lifespan impacts metabolism in female house mice
    Patricia C. Lopes, Anna K. Lindholm
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb212704 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212704 Published 2 January 2020

    Summary: Female mice carrying a selfish genetic element have a longer lifespan; these females have lower metabolic rates as they increase in size, which may arise through gene expression differences in the liver.

    A new method for mapping spatial resolution in compound eyes suggests two visual streaks in fiddler crabs
    Zahra M. Bagheri, Anna-Lee Jessop, Susumu Kato, Julian C. Partridge, Jeremy Shaw, Yuri Ogawa, Jan M. Hemmi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb210195 doi: 10.1242/jeb.210195 Published 8 January 2020

    History-dependent perturbation response in limb muscle
    Thomas Libby, Chidinma Chukwueke, Simon Sponberg
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb199018 doi: 10.1242/jeb.199018 Published 6 January 2020

    Summary: Muscle response to rapid, identical strain perturbations is history dependent, but is captured by a viscoelastic model with memory; the data and model show that the muscle perturbation response depends on locomotor frequency.

    Ben Dantzer, Freya van Kesteren, Sarah E. Westrick, Stan Boutin, Andrew G. McAdam, Jeffrey E. Lane, Robert Gillespie, Ariana Majer, Mark F. Haussmann, Pat Monaghan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb212373 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212373 Published 6 January 2020

    Establishment of correctly focused eyes may not require visual input in arthropods
    Madeline Owens, Isaiah Giordullo, Elke K. Buschbeck
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb216192 doi: 10.1242/jeb.216192 Published 6 January 2020

    Comparing perineuronal nets and parvalbumin development between blackbird species with differences in early developmental song exposure
    Gilles Cornez, Justin Langro, Charlotte A. Cornil, Jacques Balthazart, Kathleen S. Lynch
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb212910 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212910 Published 6 January 2020

    Summary: Perineuronal net and parvalbumin comparisons in blackbird species with contrast in early exposure to song tutors reveals a similar pattern in song learning nuclei but not in a song production nucleus.

    Do the enlarged hind legs of male thick-legged flower beetles contribute to take-off or mating?
    Malcolm Burrows
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb212670 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212670 Published 2 January 2020

    Highlighted Article: Male flower beetles have large hind legs that they use to grasp females securely during mating, acting like a vice grip; these legs do not enhance performance during take-off relative to females.

    A fitness cost resulting from Hamiltonella defensa infection is associated with altered probing and feeding behaviour in Rhopalosiphum padi
    Daniel J. Leybourne, Tracy A. Valentine, Jorunn I. B. Bos, Alison J. Karley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb207936 doi: 10.1242/jeb.207936 Published 2 January 2020

    Summary: Reduced performance of aphids infected with a common facultative endosymbiont on poor quality plants may be explained by changes in aphid probing behaviour and decreased phloem sap ingestion.

Big Biology Podcast - Hollie Putnam and coral bleaching

Catch the next JEB-sponsored episode of the Big Biology Podcast where Art and Marty talk to Hollie Putnam about the causes of coral bleaching and the basic biology of corals in the hope of selectively breeding corals that can better tolerate future ocean conditions.

Stark trade-offs and elegant solutions in arthropod visual systems

Many elegant eye specializations that evolved in response to visual challenges continue to be discovered. A new Review by Meece et al. summarises exciting solutions evolved by insects and other arthropods in response to specific visual challenges.


Head bobbing gives pigeons a sense of perspective

Pigeons might look goofy with their head-bobbing walk, but it turns out that the ungainly head manoeuvre allows the birds to judge distance.
