Open DOI
Co-option of Lysosomal machinery for sponge biosilicification
Biomineralization evolved repeatedly across animals, resulting in novel strategies for buoyancy, locomotion, and defense. Sponges are the only metazoans that build silica-based skeletons, and the mechanisms underlying their biosilicifica...

Role of wing gearbox in fly agility up for debate

Open DOI
Seasonal differences in the sound detection ability of Arctic cod, Boreogadus saida
Human activities are rapidly altering marine ecosystems, with increasing vessel traffic elevating underwater sound levels worldwide. Polar regions are particularly vulnerable, as declining sea ice has expanded access to the Arctic Ocean....

Why sustained, high-intensity fat-powered endurance rarely evolves in animals
Most animals rely on flexible fuel-use strategies in which carbohydrates support short, high-power bursts of activity and fats fuel prolonged, low-intensity locomotion. A notable exception occurs in a small subset of taxa – primarily mig...

DOI 10.1242/jeb.252679
Open DOI
An aquatic toxicology primer for the experimental biologist and guidance for conducting robust stressor exposures
The field of aquatic toxicology has undergone a paradigm shift in recent decades. The movement away from observational data detailing the concentrations that produce deleterious effects and towards a mechanistic understanding of how toxi...

Open DOI
Protein turnover in juvenile tropical rock lobster ( Panulirus ornatus ) and its implications for growth bioenergetics
Protein turnover (the continuous synthesis and degradation of the proteome) is energetically expensive and strongly correlates with growth rate in ectotherms. However, in crustaceans, our understanding of whole-body protein turnover is l...

DOI 10.1242/jeb.250768
Open DOI
Testing the gearbox hypothesis for insect flight control
Across Diptera, sustained flight relies on stretch-activated asynchronous flight muscles that generate multiple contraction cycles per motor neuron impulse, enabling wingbeat frequencies of ∼100–1000 Hz. These muscles attach to the thora...

Food ration affects mRNA processing, translation, proteostasis, and cytoskeletal responses during heat shock in Mytilus californianus
Despite a likely role in setting stress tolerance limits, food ration has received limited attention as an ecological factor affecting the cellular stress response (CSR). To study the interactive effects of food and temperature on the pr...

Temporal dynamics of dehydration differentially regulate components of innate immunity
Hydration state is an important regulator of vertebrate physiology, yet the temporal dynamics of hydration-associated immune responses remain poorly understood. We investigated how progressive dehydration and repeated dehydration–rehydra...

Evolved differences in microglial cell biology between surface and cave populations of Astyanax mexicanus
Microglia govern multiple aspects of brain architecture and function by eliminating dying neurons and glia, stimulating neurogenesis, refining neural connections, and orchestrating immune responses. The Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus,...
