  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Masticatory system integration in a commensal canid: interrelationships between bones, muscles and bite force in the red fox
    Colline Brassard, Marilaine Merlin, Elodie Monchâtre-Leroy, Claude Guintard, Jacques Barrat, Hélène Garès, Arnaud Larralle, Raymond Triquet, Céline Houssin, Cécile Callou, Raphaël Cornette, Anthony Herrel
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb224394 doi: 10.1242/jeb.224394 Published 5 March 2021

    Summary: Strong interrelationships between the components of the masticatory system in red foxes suggest that it is strongly integrated, but not more so than for dogs. Yet, the components of the masticatory system are less variable in foxes than in dogs.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Fine sand particles enable antlions to build pitfall traps with advanced three-dimensional geometry
    Dušan Devetak, Jan Podlesnik, Inon Scharf, Tina Klenovšek
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb224626 doi: 10.1242/jeb.224626 Published 31 July 2020

    Summary: Antlions construct pitfall traps in fine sand to catch their prey. Three-dimensional laser scanning was used for the first time to analyse the shape of an unusual antlion pit.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Pygmy mouse songs reveal anatomical innovations underlying acoustic signal elaboration in rodents
    Tobias Riede, Bret Pasch
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223925 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223925 Published 26 June 2020

    Highlighted Article: Northern pygmy mice produce an elaborate song through laryngeal whistling supported by a large air sac located inside the larynx, providing novel insight into the anatomical and physiological basis of signal elaboration.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Internal architecture of the mandibular condyle of rabbits is related to dietary resistance during growth
    Claire E. Terhune, Adam D. Sylvester, Jeremiah E. Scott, Matthew J. Ravosa
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb220988 doi: 10.1242/jeb.220988 Published 7 April 2020

    Summary: The trabecular structure of the mandibular condyle varies between rabbit groups raised on diets that differ in their mechanical properties and the timing of the introduction of mechanically challenging foods.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Mind the gap: natural cleft palates reduce biting performance in bats
    Abigail A. Curtis, Jessica H. Arbour, Sharlene E. Santana
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb196535 doi: 10.1242/jeb.196535 Published 27 January 2020

    Summary: Naturally occurring, non-pathological cleft palates are common in bats. Cleft dimensions are correlated with skull shape, and clefts reduce bite force, increase stress and increase strain in bat skulls.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effects of natural wing damage on flight performance in Morpho butterflies: what can it tell us about wing shape evolution?
    Camille Le Roy, Raphaël Cornette, Violaine Llaurens, Vincent Debat
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb204057 doi: 10.1242/jeb.204057 Published 21 August 2019

    Summary: Investigation of natural wing damage in Morpho butterflies shows that flight performance depends on damage location, indicating that different wing parts play different roles during flight.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Phenotypic plasticity of Drosophila suzukii wing to developmental temperature: implications for flight
    Antoine Fraimout, Pauline Jacquemart, Bruno Villarroel, David J. Aponte, Thierry Decamps, Anthony Herrel, Raphaël Cornette, Vincent Debat
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb166868 doi: 10.1242/jeb.166868 Published 9 July 2018

    Summary: The effect of wing plasticity to developmental temperature on flight was studied in Drosophila suzukii. Results indicate that cold-reared flies are capable of faster flight. The role of wing shape and size is discussed, along with the adaptive role of phenotypic plasticity.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Sex reversal induces size and performance differences among females of the African pygmy mouse, Mus minutoides
    Samuel Ginot, Julien Claude, Julie Perez, Frederic Veyrunes
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1947-1951; doi: 10.1242/jeb.157552

    Highlighted Article: Female Mus minutoides sometimes carry a Y chromosome. This chromosomal change is advantageous as sex-reversed females show greater skull size and higher bite force than XX females.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Comparative feeding kinematics of tropical hylid tadpoles
    Matthew D. Venesky, Denise C. Rossa-Feres, Fausto Nomura, Gilda Vasconcellos de Andrade, Tiago Leite Pezzuti, Verônica Thiemi Tsutae de Sousa, Christopher V. Anderson, Richard J. Wassersug
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 1928-1937; doi: 10.1242/jeb.082040
