  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The impact of the gut microbiome on memory and sleep in Drosophila
    Valeria Silva, Angelina Palacios-Muñoz, Zeynep Okray, Karen L. Adair, Scott Waddell, Angela E. Douglas, John Ewer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 : jeb.233619 doi: 10.1242/jeb.233619 Published 29 December 2020
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Elastic wing deformations mitigate flapping asymmetry during manoeuvres in rose chafers (Protaetia cuprea)
    Yonatan Meresman, Gal Ribak
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb225599 doi: 10.1242/jeb.225599 Published 22 December 2020

    Summary: During aerial turning, the chordwise flexibility of rose chafer wings increases the torque of each wing while improving maneouvring stability by mitigating the asymmetry in wing pitch between contralateral wings.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The ander's organ: a mechanism for anti-predator ultrasound in a relict orthopteran
    Charlie Woodrow, Kevin A. Judge, Christian Pulver, Thorin Jonsson, Fernando Montealegre-Z
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 : jeb.237289 doi: 10.1242/jeb.237289 Published 22 December 2020
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Internal state transition to switch behavioral strategies in cricket phonotaxis
    Naoto Hommaru, Hisashi Shidara, Noriyasu Ando, Hiroto Ogawa
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb229732 doi: 10.1242/jeb.229732 Published 17 November 2020

    Summary: Detailed observation of crickets freely moving in an experimental arena indicated that their sound-localization behavior is not a reflexive response but a complicated process including multiple behavioral strategies switched by internal state transition.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Traction force measurements on male Strepsiptera (Insecta) revealed higher forces on smooth compared with hairy substrates
    Hans Pohl, Elena V. Gorb, Stanislav N. Gorb
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223784 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223784 Published 28 September 2020

    Summary: Males of the strepsipteran Stylops ovinae develop significantly higher forces on smooth than hairy surfaces; these forces are generated by adhesion and not by mechanical interlocking with host hairs.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Nitric oxide produced by periostial hemocytes modulates the bacterial infection-induced reduction of the mosquito heart rate
    Tania Y. Estévez-Lao, Leah T. Sigle, Scherly N. Gomez, Julián F. Hillyer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb225821 doi: 10.1242/jeb.225821 Published 13 August 2020

    Summary: We unveil an exciting new facet of the integration between the immune and circulatory systems of insects, whereby hemocyte-produced nitric oxide drives the infection-induced reduction of mosquito heart rate.

  • REVIEW
    Directional hearing in insects: biophysical, physiological and ecological challenges
    Heiner Römer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb203224 doi: 10.1242/jeb.203224 Published 30 July 2020

    Summary: This Review describes the biophysical, physiological and behavioural solutions that allow small insects to determine the direction of a sound source in space, even under complex field conditions.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Spatial orientation based on multiple visual cues in non-migratory monarch butterflies
    Myriam Franzke, Christian Kraus, David Dreyer, Keram Pfeiffer, M. Jerome Beetz, Anna L. Stöckl, James J. Foster, Eric J. Warrant, Basil el Jundi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223800 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223800 Published 19 June 2020

    Summary: Non-migrating butterflies keep directed courses when viewing a simulated sun or panoramic scene. This suggests that they orient based on multiple visual cues independent of their migratory context.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The glue produced by Drosophila melanogaster for pupa adhesion is universal
    Flora Borne, Alexander Kovalev, Stanislav Gorb, Virginie Courtier-Orgogozo
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb220608 doi: 10.1242/jeb.220608 Published 23 April 2020

    Highlighted Article: An adhesion test designed to measure the pull-off force required to detach Drosophila pupae showed that Drosophila glue adheres similarly to various substrates of different chemical properties.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Spectral organization of the compound eye of a migrating nymphalid, the chestnut tiger butterfly Parantica sita
    Nicolas Nagloo, Michiyo Kinoshita, Kentaro Arikawa
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb217703 doi: 10.1242/jeb.217703 Published 3 February 2020

    Summary: Eyes of chestnut tiger butterflies have UV-, blue- and green-sensitive cells and they are also polarization sensitive, which may be useful for visual orientation during migration.
