Insects

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A critical role for Dop1-mediated dopaminergic signaling in the plasticity of behavioral and neuronal responses to sex pheromone in a moth
    Edmundo Gassias, Nicolas Durand, Elodie Demondion, Thomas Bourgeois, Paleo Aguilar, Françoise Bozzolan, Stéphane Debernard
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb211979 doi: 10.1242/jeb.211979 Published 29 November 2019

    Summary: Dopamine exerts its modulatory actions on the olfactory system through the Dop1 receptor and thus acts as a mediator of behavioral plasticity in insects.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Cockroaches use diverse strategies to self-right on the ground
    Chen Li, Toni Wöhrl, Han K. Lam, Robert J. Full
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb186080 doi: 10.1242/jeb.186080 Published 9 August 2019

    Summary: Comparative study of cockroach self-righting reveals performance advantages of using rotational kinetic energy to overcome the potential energy barrier and rolling more to lower it while maintaining diverse strategies.

  • REVIEW
    Celestial navigation in Drosophila
    Timothy L. Warren, Ysabel M. Giraldo, Michael H. Dickinson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb186148 doi: 10.1242/jeb.186148 Published 6 February 2019

    Summary: In this Review, we describe how the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, uses the position of the sun and the pattern of polarized skylight to maintain a constant heading during long-distance dispersal flights.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    How temperature influences the viscosity of hornworm hemolymph
    Melissa C. Kenny, Matthew N. Giarra, Ellen Granata, John J. Socha
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb186338 doi: 10.1242/jeb.186338 Published 29 October 2018

    Summary: The first quantification of insect hemolymph viscosity indicates that it shows a strong dependence on temperature at low values only (≤15°C).

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Flying Drosophila melanogaster maintain arbitrary but stable headings relative to the angle of polarized light
    Timothy L. Warren, Peter T. Weir, Michael H. Dickinson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb177550 doi: 10.1242/jeb.177550 Published 11 May 2018

    Summary: Relative to celestial cues, fruit flies select unpredictable flight headings and maintain them with gradually increasing fidelity. This may be a general dispersal strategy for animals with no target destination.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Intricate but tight coupling of spiracular activity and abdominal ventilation during locust discontinuous gas exchange cycles
    Stav Talal, Eran Gefen, Amir Ayali
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb174722 doi: 10.1242/jeb.174722 Published 15 March 2018

    Editors' Choice: Direct monitoring of ventilation/spiracle muscle activity, simultaneously with respirometry, reveals two different ventilation motor patterns that could explain the mechanistic basis of discontinuous gas exchange cycles in locusts.

  • REVIEW
    Studying emotion in invertebrates: what has been done, what can be measured and what they can provide
    Clint J. Perry, Luigi Baciadonna
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3856-3868; doi: 10.1242/jeb.151308

    Summary: Recent work has adapted methods for assessing emotions in humans and other animals, to invertebrates, with intriguing results. This Review interprets and discusses their utility with respect to the evolution and neurobiology of emotion.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Mass scaling of metabolic rates in carabid beetles (Carabidae) – the importance of phylogeny, regression models and gas exchange patterns
    Agnieszka Gudowska, Bartosz W. Schramm, Marcin Czarnoleski, Andrzej Antoł, Ulf Bauchinger, Jan Kozłowski
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3363-3371; doi: 10.1242/jeb.159293

    Summary: The relationship between metabolic rate and body mass in insects can depend heavily on the model-fitting method, the structure of phylogeny and ecological factors.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Cranking up the heat: relationships between energetically costly song features and the increase in thorax temperature in male crickets and katydids
    Bettina Erregger, Helmut Kovac, Anton Stabentheiner, Manfred Hartbauer, Heinrich Römer, Arne K. D. Schmidt
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2635-2644; doi: 10.1242/jeb.155846

    Summary: A comparative analysis assessing the physiological costs insects incur by singing as an aspect of a trade-off that influences an individual's fitness and life history.

  • 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.
