ABSTRACTMany animals communicate using seismic vibrations. Signaller morphology, signal production method and environmental factors impose interacting constraints that may be impossible to replicate in the laboratory, making it essential to study seism…
ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but …
ABSTRACTThe shells of turtles serve as protection, yet shell shape and natural history widely vary among turtles. Here, we identify the mechanical behavior that provides marine turtles, species characterized with fusiform shells, with biomechanical str…
ABSTRACTAdolescence is a sensitive period because it is associated with the ontogeny of key neurological, physiological and behavioural systems. These systems can be permanently altered by social disruption during adolescence and therefore impair an in…

ABSTRACTThe activities that define survival and reproductive success in animals depend on their physical performance. However, performance is a complex trait, and organisms must balance competing demands of multiple underlying factors every time they u…
ABSTRACTGill regeneration in fish varies inter- and intra-specifically. The latter may be associated with myriad factors including capacity of energy metabolism. This study investigated whether mitochondrial respiration capacity influences the degree o…
