  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Ambient temperature affects multiple drivers of physiology and behaviour: adaptation for timely departure of obligate spring migrants
    Sayantan Sur, Khushboo Chaturvedi, Aakansha Sharma, Shalie Malik, Sangeeta Rani, Vinod Kumar
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb236109 doi: 10.1242/jeb.236109 Published 21 December 2020

    Editor's choice: Songbirds use temperature in the behavioral decision of when to migrate from wintering areas. Transcriptional responsiveness to temperature is a significant component of the overall adaptive strategy for spring migration.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Presence and persistence of a highly ordered lipid phase state in the avian stratum corneum
    Alex M. Champagne, Victoria A. Pigg, Heather C. Allen, Joseph B. Williams
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb176438 doi: 10.1242/jeb.176438 Published 7 June 2018

    Summary: House sparrows possess skin lipids that remain tightly packed to resist cutaneous water loss even at high temperatures. This finding provides evidence that bird skin differs greatly from mammalian skin.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Crawling without wiggling: muscular mechanisms and kinematics of rectilinear locomotion in boa constrictors
    Steven J. Newman, Bruce C. Jayne
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb166199 doi: 10.1242/jeb.166199 Published 22 February 2018

    Summary: Unlike most limbless vertebrates, snakes can propel themselves without bending their long axis because of muscles that both move the skin relative to the underlying skeleton and modulate skin stiffness.

  • REVIEW
    Tail regeneration and other phenomena of wound healing and tissue restoration in lizards
    Kathy Jacyniak, Rebecca P. McDonald, Matthew K. Vickaryous
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2858-2869; doi: 10.1242/jeb.126862

    Summary: We highlight how lizards can inform, enhance and expand our understanding of the biology of regeneration.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Cutaneous water collection by a moisture-harvesting lizard, the thorny devil (Moloch horridus)
    Philipp Comanns, Philip C. Withers, Falk J. Esser, Werner Baumgartner
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3473-3479; doi: 10.1242/jeb.148791

    Highlighted Article: Desert lizards such as thorny devils harvest moisture from different sources using their skin surface. Moist sand seems to be the most routine water source to meet their water demand.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Lipid composition and molecular interactions change with depth in the avian stratum corneum to regulate cutaneous water loss
    Alex M. Champagne, Heather C. Allen, Joseph B. Williams
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3032-3041; doi: 10.1242/jeb.125310

    Highlighted Article: Lipid composition changes with depth in the avian skin, but these changes vary by season. This seasonal variation affects rates of cutaneous water loss.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Visual phototransduction components in cephalopod chromatophores suggest dermal photoreception
    Alexandra C. N. Kingston, Alan M. Kuzirian, Roger T. Hanlon, Thomas W. Cronin
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1596-1602; doi: 10.1242/jeb.117945

    Highlighted Article: Squid and cuttlefish skin chromatophores contain rhodopsin, Gqα and sTRP channels, which are necessary components for photoreception.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Claudin-6, -10d and -10e contribute to seawater acclimation in the euryhaline puffer fish Tetraodon nigroviridis
    Phuong Bui, Scott P. Kelly
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 1758-1767; doi: 10.1242/jeb.099200
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Regulation of the Rana sylvatica brevinin-1SY antimicrobial peptide during development and in dorsal and ventral skin in response to freezing, anoxia and dehydration
    Barbara A. Katzenback, Helen A. Holden, Justin Falardeau, Christine Childers, Hanane Hadj-Moussa, Tyler J. Avis, Kenneth B. Storey
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 1392-1401; doi: 10.1242/jeb.092288
