In their Special Issue Commentary, Robyn Hetem, Maartin Strauss & co discuss how biologging physiological variables in large terrestrial mammals provides mechanistic insights into the drivers and outcomes of animal movements in changing environments journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

As part of our @biologists.bsky.social #biologists100 celebrations, we have interviewed JEB author Hans-Otto Poertner about his experience of co-chairing the @ipcc.bsky.social addressing the most pressing issue facing our planet: climate change journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

In her JEB Special Issue Commentary @elcshepard.bsky.social discusses the impact of turbulence on animal flight, how human activity is changing turbulence & how laboratory & field studies will provide insight into the implications of these changes for animals journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Andrew Biewener & Alan Wilson discuss themes from the JEB Special Issue that aims to break down boundaries between the fields of #biomechanics, #energetics & #ecology by integrating laboratory and field studies through novel technologies across ecosystems bit.ly/4hRSoeM

Every year JEB celebrates early-career researchers with the Outstanding Paper Prize. We recognise the shortlisted ECRS that contributed to 11 remarkable studies published in 2024 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/... and congratulate the winner, Elise Laetz, from University of Groningen

In their Commentary, Integrating biomechanics, energetics and ecology perspectives in locomotion, Andrew Biewener & Alan Wilson pull together key themes emerging from the new JEB Special Issue aimed at integrating biomechanics, energetics and ecology journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Read this year's JEB Special issue, Integrating Biomechanics, Energetics and Ecology in Locomotion, Edited by Andrew Biewener and Alan Wilson breaking down traditional boundaries between the fields of locomotion biomechanics, energetics and ecology journals.biologists.com/jeb/issue/22...

It's the last week to register for the #biologists100 meeting, which includes the JEB symposium and @SEBiology symposium! Don't miss this fabulous opportunity 100yearsconference.biologists.com/programme/

looking for a good scientific read? This paper is out today and shows how much energy male bats can save by living in groups. Great for buffering environmental unexpectedness! Pic by Rene J doi.org/10.1242/jeb.... @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @jexpbiol.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de

Reptiles have a differently structured heart that allows them to shunt blood towards the lungs when they need to. Recently Reyes & co showed that rattlesnakes are also sense low oxygen in different places than humans do too 🧵1/2 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

We are inviting submissions to our upcoming Special Issue: The Integrative Biology of Exercise. 🧵1/3 journals.biologists.com/jeb/pages/ex...

The deadline for the Fish Swimming course at Friday Harbor Labs, taught by Paolo Domenici, John Steffensen & Jacob Johansen has been extended to 24 February Don't miss this fantastic opportunity fhl.uw.edu/courses/cour...

Early-career researchers going to the CSZ-SCZ meeting in Waterloo 12-15 May, make sure you register for this fantastic JEB sponsored SciComm Workshop, run by @this_is_brit & co, to learn how to communicate your research to a wider audience bit.ly/4gR2N94

Gerbils don't excel at any particular manoeuvre, but gerbils with long shins tend to be better jumpers while gerbils with long thighs are more manoeuvrable. They don't prioritise one manoeuvre at the expense of another 1/2🧵 @brown-ibes.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Issue 3 is closed. The front cover, by @venky-vnm.bsky.social, shows an Anemonia viridis sea anemone directing its tentacles toward the sun, thanks to the photosynthesizing algae that they carry, which allow them to track the sun journals.biologists.com/jeb/issue/22...

As we step into our second century, we are pleased to announce a new senior management structure to strengthen us as we move forward. We met with Claire Moulton, newly appointed CEO, to tell us more about what prompted the changes in leadership structure. bit.ly/430Obki

And it’s beautiful 😊

Delighted that you like Lena de Framond’s Outside JEB article featuring your fantastic study! Cool science!

In her ECR Spotlight, annaseibel.bsky.social discusses her work on peacock jumping spiders, how growing up near a park and raising orphaned baby animals drove her towards a degree in biology & why observing animals is her favourite part of research journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

In his ECR Spotlight, Facundo Fernandez-Duque tells us how his childhood in Argentina inspired his love of animals & his discovery that birds that clean debris from their nests identify imposter eggs by shape while birds with enclosed nests rely on colour journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

The darkness makes some animals bolder, but artificially illuminating our nights makes animals more visible and venture out less. Recently Dissegna & Chiandetti showed that brighter nights make even tiny animals like woodlice hesitate before moving about journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Snakelocks sea anemones point their tentacles, packed with symbiotic algae, toward the sun so their lodgers can photosynthesize and now @venky-vnm.bsky.social & co have discovered that photosynthesis by the algae guides their host's tentacles towards the sun journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...
