migration

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Physiology and behavior under food limitation support an escape, not preparative, response in the nomadic pine siskin (Spinus pinus)
    Joely G. DeSimone, Bret W. Tobalske, Creagh W. Breuner
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb238774 doi: 10.1242/jeb.238774 Published 10 February 2021

    Summary: Changes in body composition, activity and corticosterone during a captive experiment demonstrate that a nomadic avian migrant is not sensitive to changes in food availability, but rather escapes low-resource areas.

  • COMMENTARY
    Animal navigation: a noisy magnetic sense?
    Sönke Johnsen, Kenneth J. Lohmann, Eric. J. Warrant
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb164921 doi: 10.1242/jeb.164921 Published 23 September 2020

    Summary: Magnetic orientation responses in animals are often weak and difficult to elicit experimentally. A possible explanation is that the magnetic compass is ‘noisy’ and cannot acquire precise magnetic information over short time periods.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    A sense of place: pink salmon use a magnetic map for orientation
    Nathan F. Putman, Chase R. Williams, Evan P. Gallagher, Andrew H. Dittman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb218735 doi: 10.1242/jeb.218735 Published 25 February 2020

    Highlighted Article: Experiments suggest that the migration of pink salmon across the North Pacific may be driven largely by their use of geomagnetic map cues.

  • 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.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Timing manipulations reveal the lack of a causal link across timing of annual-cycle stages in a long-distance migrant
    Barbara M. Tomotani, Iván de la Hera, Cynthia Y. M. J. G. Lange, Bart van Lith, Simone L. Meddle, Christiaan Both, Marcel E. Visser
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb201467 doi: 10.1242/jeb.201467 Published 9 September 2019

    Summary: Experimental manipulations show that pied flycatchers do not adjust the timing of their moult and migration to the termination of breeding.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    What determines the basal rate of metabolism?
    Brian K. McNab
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb205591 doi: 10.1242/jeb.205591 Published 6 August 2019

    Summary: Changes in BMR are principally determined by changes in the body composition of endotherms, the byproducts of which are the behavioral and ecological correlations with the availability and the expenditure of energy and other resources.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Flight muscle protein damage during endurance flight is related to energy expenditure but not dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids in a migratory bird
    Morag F. Dick, Christopher G. Guglielmo
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb187708 doi: 10.1242/jeb.187708 Published 1 March 2019

    Summary: Migration is oxidatively challenging for birds, and in yellow-rumped warblers, the oxidative challenge is strongly related to energy expenditure during flight but not dietary long-chain PUFA.

  • REVIEW
    There and back again: natal homing by magnetic navigation in sea turtles and salmon
    Kenneth J. Lohmann, Catherine M. F. Lohmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb184077 doi: 10.1242/jeb.184077 Published 6 February 2019

    Summary: New findings indicate that long-distance natal homing in salmon and sea turtles involves an ability to navigate back to the magnetic signature of the home area.

  • 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
    Distinct physiological, biochemical and morphometric adjustments in the malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and A. coluzzii as means to survive dry season conditions in Burkina Faso
    K. Hidalgo, C. Montazeau, D. Siaussat, V. Braman, M. Trabalon, F. Simard, D. Renault, R. K. Dabiré, K. Mouline
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb174433 doi: 10.1242/jeb.174433 Published 21 March 2018

    Summary: A diverse and complex pattern of physiological mechanisms occurs in the Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquito species and at the population level to cope with the harsh dry season.
