artificial selection

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Stress coping and evolution of aerobic exercise performance: corticosterone levels in voles from a selection experiment
    Małgorzata M. Lipowska, Edyta T. Sadowska, Ulf Bauchinger, Paweł Koteja
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb209593 doi: 10.1242/jeb.209593 Published 18 October 2019

    Summary: The aerobic exercise performance of bank voles during a swimming trial is suppressed by the glucocorticoid stress response, but artificial selection for high performance does not modify the blood corticosterone level.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Selection for longer limbs in mice increases bone stiffness and brittleness, but does not alter bending strength
    Miranda N. Cosman, Hayley M. Britz, Campbell Rolian
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb203125 doi: 10.1242/jeb.203125 Published 10 May 2019

    Summary: Fifteen generations of artificial selection for long limb bones in mice substantially increased bone stiffness and brittleness, suggesting bone growth rates can significantly impact bone material properties.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Reduced non-bicarbonate skeletal muscle buffering capacity in mice with the mini-muscle phenotype
    Jarren C. Kay, Jocelyn Ramirez, Erick Contreras, Theodore Garland, Jr
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb172478 doi: 10.1242/jeb.172478 Published 22 May 2018

    Summary: High-runner mice expressing the mini-muscle phenotype have reduced skeletal muscle buffering capacity; female mice have a lower buffering capacity than males and wheel access has no significant effect.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effects of activity, genetic selection and their interaction on muscle metabolic capacities and organ masses in mice
    Scott A. Kelly, Fernando R. Gomes, Erik M. Kolb, Jessica L. Malisch, Theodore Garland, Jr
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1038-1047; doi: 10.1242/jeb.148759

    Summary: Organ morphology and biochemistry were altered in response to selective breeding for voluntary wheel running, chronic exercise and interactions as a result of ‘more pain, more gain’ or the evolution of greater phenotypic plasticity.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Heat dissipation does not suppress an immune response in laboratory mice divergently selected for basal metabolic rate (BMR)
    Aneta Książek, Marek Konarzewski
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1542-1551; doi: 10.1242/jeb.129312

    Summary: Heat dissipation may constrain physiological processes associated with compulsory heat generation (e.g. lactation), but is unlikely to constrain immune responses in mice.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Limits to sustained energy intake. XXIII. Does heat dissipation capacity limit the energy budget of lactating bank voles?
    Edyta T. Sadowska, Elżbieta Król, Katarzyna M. Chrzascik, Agata M. Rudolf, John R. Speakman, Paweł Koteja
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 805-815; doi: 10.1242/jeb.134437

    Summary: Fur removal increases both energy budget and reproductive output at peak lactation in a non-laboratory rodent, the bank vole, supporting the heat dissipation limit theory.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Hindlimb muscle fibre size and glycogen stores in bank voles with increased aerobic exercise metabolism
    Ewa Jaromin, Julia Wyszkowska, Anna Maria Labecka, Edyta Teresa Sadowska, Paweł Koteja
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 470-473; doi: 10.1242/jeb.130476

    Summary: Bank voles selected for high swim-induced aerobic metabolism over 13 generations show increased hindlimb muscle mass, but the muscle fibre characteristics remain unaffected.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Limits to sustained energy intake. XXII. Reproductive performance of two selected mouse lines with different thermal conductance
    Aqeel H. Al Jothery, Elżbieta Król, James Hawkins, Aurore Chetoui, Alexander Saint-Lambert, Yuko Gamo, Suzanne C. Shaw, Teresa Valencak, Lutz Bünger, William G. Hill, Lobke M. Vaanholt, Catherine Hambly, John R. Speakman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 3718-3732; doi: 10.1242/jeb.103705
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    High basal metabolic rate does not elevate oxidative stress during reproduction in laboratory mice
    Paweł Brzęk, Aneta Książek, Łukasz Ołdakowski, Marek Konarzewski
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 1504-1509; doi: 10.1242/jeb.100073
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Immune response to a Trichinella spiralis infection in house mice from lines selectively bred for high voluntary wheel running
    Elizabeth M. Dlugosz, Heidi Schutz, Thomas H. Meek, Wendy Acosta, Cynthia J. Downs, Edward G. Platzer, Mark A. Chappell, Theodore Garland, Jr
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 4212-4221; doi: 10.1242/jeb.087361
