Distinct morphological drivers of jumping and maneuvering performance in gerbils
ABSTRACTTheoretically, animals with longer hindlimbs are better jumpers, while those with shorter hindlimbs are better maneuverers. Yet, experimental evidence of this relationship in mammals is lacking. We compared jump force and maneuverability i...

Sexual dimorphism in jump kinematics and choreography in peacock spiders
ABSTRACTJumping requires a rapid release of energy to propel an animal. Terrestrial animals achieve this by relying on the power generated by muscles, or by storing and rapidly releasing elastic energy. Jumping spiders are distinctive in using a c...

Egg shape and color mediate acceptance thresholds in diverse avian host species with different rates of antiparasitic egg rejection
ABSTRACTEggshell recognition in parental birds is vital for nest management, defense against brood parasitism, optimal embryonic development and minimizing disease and predation risks. This process relies on acceptance thresholds balancing the ris...

Thyroid hormones reversibly inhibit metamorphic development in ophiuroid larvae
ABSTRACTThe timing of metamorphosis and settlement is critical for the survival and reproductive success of marine animals with biphasic life cycles. Thyroid hormones (THs) regulate developmental timing in diverse groups of chordates, including th...
