  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Softness sensing and learning in Drosophila larvae
    Nana Kudow, Azusa Kamikouchi, Teiichi Tanimura
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb196329 doi: 10.1242/jeb.196329 Published 1 April 2019

    Summary: Drosophila melanogaster larvae prefer a soft food substrate. They can learn the softness of agarose gel and evaluate foods by balancing softness and sweetness. Genetic background affects the larval preference for softness.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Haltere removal alters responses to gravity in standing flies
    Kathryn A. Daltorio, Jessica L. Fox
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb181719 doi: 10.1242/jeb.181719 Published 25 July 2018

    Highlighted Article: Halteres are specialized mechanosensors used to detect body rotations in flying flies. Responses to sudden free falls in standing flies show that halteres can also sense gravity.

  • COMMENTARY
    Mechanosensory signaling as a potential mode of communication during social interactions in fishes
    Julie M. Butler, Karen P. Maruska
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2781-2789; doi: 10.1242/jeb.133801

    Summary: Many fish social behaviors generate water movements that are detectable by the lateral line system of nearby conspecifics, suggesting that mechanosensory signaling may be an important mode of communication during social interactions such as reproduction, aggression and parental care.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The mechanosensory lateral line is used to assess opponents and mediate aggressive behaviors during territorial interactions in an African cichlid fish
    Julie M. Butler, Karen P. Maruska
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3284-3294; doi: 10.1242/jeb.125948

    Highlighted Article: Hydrodynamic cues are needed for assessment and non-contact fight behaviors during territorial interactions in an African cichlid fish.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Vibrissal sensitivity in a harbor seal (Phoca vitulina)
    Christin T. Murphy, Colleen Reichmuth, David Mann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2463-2471; doi: 10.1242/jeb.118240

    Summary: Psychophysical testing of vibration detection in the harbor seal demonstrates acute sensitivity of the vibrissal system.

    Superficial neuromasts facilitate non-visual feeding by larval striped bass (Morone saxatilis)
    Julia A. Sampson, Jim Duston, Roger P. Croll
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 3522-3530; doi: 10.1242/jeb.087395
