    Broadening the functional and evolutionary understanding of postnatal neurogenesis using reptilian models
    Lara D. LaDage
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb210542 doi: 10.1242/jeb.210542 Published 11 August 2020

    Summary: This Review highlights our understanding of postnatal neurogenesis in reptiles in comparison to mammals. Research in reptiles will help to address the mechanisms of postnatal neurogenesis and place it within a functional and evolutionary context.

    Disruption of thermogenic UCP1 predated the divergence of pigs and peccaries
    Thomas Jacob Fyda, Connor Spencer, Martin Jastroch, Michael J. Gaudry
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223974 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223974 Published 11 August 2020

    Summary: Thermogenic UCP1 was pseudogenized much earlier than previously thought, in a common ancestor of peccaries and pigs, providing the molecular rationale for cold sensitivity and current tropical biogeography among extant peccaries.

    Use of temporal and colour cueing in a symbolic delayed matching task by honey bees
    Leslie Ng, Jair E. Garcia, Adrian G. Dyer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb224220 doi: 10.1242/jeb.224220 Published 11 August 2020

    Summary: Honey bees can learn arbitrary relationships between shapes and colours, but not between shapes and durations of light, indicating a lower efficiency of temporal information as a cueing stimulus.

    Carbon dioxide-induced bioluminescence increase in Arachnocampa larvae
    Hamish Richard Charlton, David John Merritt
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb225151 doi: 10.1242/jeb.225151 Published 11 August 2020

    Highlighted Article: CO2 was thought to act as an anaesthetic producing elevated bioluminescence in Arachnocampa; however, results show that it acts directly on the light organ and does not act as an anaesthetic.

    How do Caenorhabditis elegans worms survive in highly viscous habitats?
    Yuki Suzuki, Kenji Kikuchi, Keiko Numayama-Tsuruta, Takuji Ishikawa
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb224691 doi: 10.1242/jeb.224691 Published 6 August 2020

    Summary: Survival of Caenorhabditis elegans worms is associated with pharyngeal pump function that cannot be lost at high viscosity, which may contribute to their ability to survive in highly viscous environments.

    Brain size does not predict learning strategies in a serial reversal learning test
    Annika Boussard, Séverine D. Buechel, Mirjam Amcoff, Alexander Kotrschal, Niclas Kolm
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb224741 doi: 10.1242/jeb.224741 Published 4 August 2020

    Summary: Relative brain size affects differences in advanced learning ability in small- and large-brained female guppies; however, regardless of brain size, they do not learn a generalized rule from earlier experience.

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

The spring rise in temperature at black-headed bunting overwintering sites is essential for triggering the physical changes that they undergo before embarking on their spring migration – read more.


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.
