  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Intersection of motor volumes predicts the outcome of ambush predation of larval zebrafish
    Kiran Bhattacharyya, David L. McLean, Malcolm A. MacIver
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb235481 doi: 10.1242/jeb.235481 Published 1 March 2021

    Summary: To survive predation, the volume of space prey can flee must exceed the volume of space predators can reach, providing a generalizable framework to explain predator–prey interactions.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Greater agility increases probability of survival in the endangered northern quoll
    Miranda Rew-Duffy, Skye F. Cameron, Natalie J. Freeman, Rebecca Wheatley, Jessica M. Latimer, Robbie S. Wilson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb218503 doi: 10.1242/jeb.218503 Published 3 August 2020

    Summary: High agility and body condition are advantageous for survival in female endangered northern quolls; development of predictive models that incorporate both predator and prey locomotor performance will give greater understanding on the vulnerability of native species to introduced predators.

  • METHODS & TECHNIQUES
    A miniaturized threshold-triggered acceleration data-logger for recording burst movements of aquatic animals
    Nozomi Nishiumi, Ayane Matsuo, Ryo Kawabe, Nicholas Payne, Charlie Huveneers, Yuuki Y. Watanabe, Yuuki Kawabata
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb172346 doi: 10.1242/jeb.172346 Published 19 March 2018

    Summary: Development of a high-frequency acceleration data-logger that can selectively measure animal burst movements, as verified in controlled and in situ conditions with two fish species.

  • REVIEW
    The predator and prey behaviors of crabs: from ecology to neural adaptations
    Daniel Tomsic, Julieta Sztarker, Martín Berón de Astrada, Damián Oliva, Estela Lanza
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2318-2327; doi: 10.1242/jeb.143222

    Summary: We discuss a microcircuit of crab giant neurons, identified based on combined field and laboratory studies, which are involved in controlling naturally occurring prey and predator behaviors.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Three-dimensional motion tracking reveals a diving component to visual and auditory escape swims in zebrafish larvae
    Benjamin H. Bishop, Nathan Spence-Chorman, Ethan Gahtan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3981-3987; doi: 10.1242/jeb.147124

    Summary: Vertical directionality of zebrafish escape swims highlights the importance of ecological validity in motor control research.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Flight mechanics and control of escape manoeuvres in hummingbirds. I. Flight kinematics
    Bo Cheng, Bret W. Tobalske, Donald R. Powers, Tyson L. Hedrick, Susan M. Wethington, George T. C. Chiu, Xinyan Deng
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3518-3531; doi: 10.1242/jeb.137539

    Summary: A detailed examination of the body and wing kinematics of four hummingbird species in fast escape manoeuvres shows that they change wing trajectory significantly, and escape manoeuvres do not obey the ‘helicopter model’.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Predation risk modifies behaviour by shaping the response of identified brain neurons
    Fiorella Magani, Tomas Luppi, Jesus Nuñez, Daniel Tomsic
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1172-1177; doi: 10.1242/jeb.136903

    Highlighted Article: Crabs from an isolated population under high risk of predation show stronger neuronal and behavioural responses to visual threats than those from a population at low risk of predation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Detection and selective avoidance of near ultraviolet radiation by an aquatic annelid: the medicinal leech
    John Jellies
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 974-985; doi: 10.1242/jeb.094243
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    The functional role of caudal and anal/dorsal fins during the C-start of a bluegill sunfish
    Iman Borazjani
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 1658-1669; doi: 10.1242/jeb.079434
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Accelerometer tags: detecting and identifying activities in fish and the effect of sampling frequency
    Franziska Broell, Takuji Noda, Serena Wright, Paolo Domenici, John Fleng Steffensen, Jean-Pierre Auclair, Christopher T. Taggart
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 1255-1264; doi: 10.1242/jeb.077396
