life history

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Low incubation temperature slows the development of cold tolerance in a precocial bird
    Andreas Nord, Jan-Åke Nilsson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb237743 doi: 10.1242/jeb.237743 Published 12 January 2021

    Highlighted Article: Precocial birds incubated at low temperature take longer to develop cold tolerance, with possible costs for energy acquisition in early life.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Hormone-mediated dispersal and sexual maturation in males of the social paper wasp Polistes lanio
    Robin J. Southon, Andrew N. Radford, Seirian Sumner
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb226472 doi: 10.1242/jeb.226472 Published 11 December 2020

    Summary: Delayed dispersal from the natal nest by male paper wasps is regulated by juvenile hormone and associated with sexual maturation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Similar foraging energetics of two sympatric albatrosses despite contrasting life histories and wind-mediated foraging strategies
    Caitlin E. Kroeger, Daniel E. Crocker, Rachael A. Orben, David R. Thompson, Leigh G. Torres, Paul M. Sagar, Lisa A. Sztukowski, Timothy Andriese, Daniel P. Costa, Scott A. Shaffer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb228585 doi: 10.1242/jeb.228585 Published 2 December 2020

    Highlighted Article: Related albatrosses have similar guard-stage foraging costs despite life history and foraging strategy differences; however, lighter forecasted wind in endemic albatross ranges may increase take-off costs and increase sit-and-wait strategies.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Endurance and sprint training affect immune function differently in green anole lizards (Anolis carolinensis)
    Andrew Z. Wang, Jerry F. Husak
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb232132 doi: 10.1242/jeb.232132 Published 16 October 2020

    Summary: Increased allocation to different types of locomotor performance (endurance versus sprinting) results in complex trade-offs with the immune system that are not caused by energy limitation alone.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Maternal glucocorticoids promote offspring growth without inducing oxidative stress or shortening telomeres in wild red squirrels
    Ben Dantzer, Freya van Kesteren, Sarah E. Westrick, Stan Boutin, Andrew G. McAdam, Jeffrey E. Lane, Robert Gillespie, Ariana Majer, Mark F. Haussmann, Pat Monaghan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb212373 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212373 Published 6 January 2020

    Summary: Experimental increases in glucocorticoids in breeding female North American red squirrels affects offspring postnatal growth but not levels of oxidative damage and antioxidants or telomere lengths.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Prolonged survival out of water is linked to a slow pace of life in a self-fertilizing amphibious fish
    Andy J. Turko, Justine E. Doherty, Irene Yin-Liao, Kelly Levesque, Perryn Kruth, Joseph M. Holden, Ryan L. Earley, Patricia A. Wright
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb209270 doi: 10.1242/jeb.209270 Published 18 December 2019

    Summary: Intrinsically low metabolic rates increase survival and fitness of an amphibious fish when access to water is limited; there is no apparent cost when water is abundant.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Ontogeny of effective mechanical advantage in eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus)
    Adam D. Foster, Michael T. Butcher, Gregory A. Smith, Gabrielle A. Russo, Rajaa Thalluri, Jesse W. Young
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb205237 doi: 10.1242/jeb.205237 Published 16 August 2019

    Editors' Choice: Hindlimb muscle leverage declines during growth in cottontail rabbits, likely promoting increased locomotor performance during the precarious juvenile period of life history.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Developmental plasticity in metabolism but not in energy reserve accumulation in a seasonally polyphenic butterfly
    Sami M. Kivelä, Karl Gotthard, Philipp Lehmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb202150 doi: 10.1242/jeb.202150 Published 5 July 2019

    Summary: The switch between diapause and direct development results in developmental pre-diapause plasticity in life history and metabolism but not in reserve accumulation in a seasonally polyphenic butterfly.

  • COMMENTARY
    Understanding diversity in oxidative status and oxidative stress: the opportunities and challenges ahead
    David Costantini
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb194688 doi: 10.1242/jeb.194688 Published 2 July 2019

    Summary: This Commentary highlights the distinction between biochemical and biological definitions of oxidative stress, discusses issues to consider when designing experiments to investigate oxidative stress, and proposes the ‘redox signalling hypothesis’ of life history.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Prior reproduction alters how mitochondria respond to an oxidative event
    Wendy R. Hood, Yufeng Zhang, Halie A. Taylor, Noel R. Park, Abby E. Beatty, Ryan J. Weaver, Kang Nian Yap, Andreas N. Kavazis
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb195545 doi: 10.1242/jeb.195545 Published 25 June 2019

    Summary: Interactions among oxidative stressors are predicted to impact performance. Reproduction prior to an oxidative stressor improved liver mitochondria coupling, while skeletal muscle mitochondrial density decreased.
