Few experimental characterizations exist, each describing terrain qualitatively without any relation to others or flat ground. This precludes mechanistic explanation of the energy costs. Here we show that energy cost varies smoothly and approximately quadratically as a function of terrain amplitude. We tested this with healthy adults (N=10) walking on synthetic uneven terrain with random step heights of parametrically controlled maximum amplitude (four conditions 0 - 0.045 m), and at four walking speeds (0.8 - 1.4 m.s-1). Both net metabolic rate and the rate of positive work increased approximately with amplitude squared and speed cubed (R2 = 0.74,0.82 respectively), as predicted by a simple walking model. The model requires work to redirect the body center of mass velocity between successive arcs described by pendulum-like legs, at proportional metabolic cost. Humans performed most of the greater work with terrain amplitude early in the single stance phase, and with speed later in stance during push-off. Work and energy rates changed with approximately linear proportionality, with a ratio or delta efficiency of 49.5% (R2 = 0.68). The efficiency was high enough to suggest substantial work performed passively by elastic tendon and not only by active muscle. Simple kinematic measures such as mid-swing foot clearance also increased with terrain amplitude (R2 = 0.65), possibly costing energy as well. Nevertheless, most of the metabolic cost of walking faster or on more uneven terrain can be explained mechanistically by the work performed.</p>","PeriodicalId":15786,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143065679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the subterranean environment is characterized by thermally-stable conditions, small changes in ambient temperature could be critical in shaping immunity. However, little is known about the effects of ambient temperature, in naturally varying ranges, on immunity of wild species. Therefore, to evaluate the effect of short-term exposure to ambient temperatures on energy metabolism and body temperature during the acute phase immune response (APR) in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum, 70 adult animals were divided into 3 experimental groups exposed twice for 1 h to 15°C, 25°C or 32°C (below, at or near the upper limit of the thermoneutral zone, respectively) before and after injections with saline (C, control) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS, which induces the APR). Animals exposed to 25°C and 32°C showed a similar APR pattern, characterized by fever (average: 37.1°C and 37.7°C, respectively), a 16% increase in O2 consumption and an increase in the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (N/L). Body mass loss and symptoms of sickness behavior were detected from 1 and 3 h post injection. Individuals exposed to 15°C, increased their metabolic rate by 60%, showed frequent hypothermia (34.3°C on average) and the characteristic N/L increase was attenuated. Body mass loss and sickness behavior were mostly detected 24 h post injection. Our results suggest that the thermoregulation costs in C. talarum may limit the energy available for immunity, leading to different strategies to cope with infection.</p>","PeriodicalId":15786,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143065654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gut digestive fluid of many invertebrates is acidified by the vesicular-type H+-ATPase (VHA). In contrast, vertebrates generate acidic gut fluids using the gastric H+/K+-ATPase (HKA); an evolutionary innovation linked with the appearance of a true stomach that greatly improves digestion, absorption, and immune function. Hagfishes are the most basal extant vertebrates, and their mechanism of digestive acidification remains unclear. Herein we report that the stomachless Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) acidify their gut using the VHA, while searches of E. stoutii gut transcriptomes and the genome of a closely related hagfish species (E. burgerii) indicate they lack HKA, consistent with its emergence following the 2R whole genome duplication. Immunostaining revealed prominent VHA presence in the apical membrane of enterocytes and sub-apical expression of both VHA and sAC. Interestingly, akin to vertebrates, VHA was also observed in immature pancreatic-like zymogen granules and was noticeably absent from the mature granules. Furthermore, isolated gut sacs from fed hagfish demonstrate increased VHA-dependent luminal H+ secretion that is stimulated by the cAMP pathway. Overall, these results suggest that the hagfish gut shares the trait of VHA-dependent acidification with invertebrates, while simultaneously performing some roles of the pancreas and intestine of gnathostomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":15786,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143065661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most cricket species, males sing and females walk or fly to calling males. In the tribe Lebinthini, however, males produce calls that trigger a vibrational reply from females, and males use the substrate vibrations to find the responding female. Here we assess two hypotheses regarding the behavioral origin of this multimodal duet in the Lebinthini. We conducted playback experiments and measured behavioral and neuronal responses in multiple related cricket species to assess whether the precursor to the lebinthine duet was 1) a startle response to high-frequency sound, or 2) elaboration of a preexisting courtship behavior. We found behavioral similarities between the vibrational response of Lebinthini females and the acoustic startle behavior in other gryllid crickets. Specifically, the amplitude of the vibrational reply increases with male song amplitude in Lebinthini, and the magnitude of vibrations produced by two gryllid species when startled with ultrasound also correlates with the stimulus amplitude. Like in-flight startle behavior, the startle vibrations produced by perched crickets are suppressed when low-frequency sound is played simultaneously. We also observed courtship behavior in four gryllid species and found few instances of female vibration. Vibrational signals observed in Gryllus pennsylvanicus females were not correlated with male calls and occurred more frequently in pairs that did not mate after courtship. Combined, accumulating evidence supports the hypothesis that the lebinthine duet more likely evolved from a startle precursor than courtship behavior.</p>","PeriodicalId":15786,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143052780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multitude of structures and pleiotropic actions reflect the tremendous morphological, physiological and behavioral diversity of the phylum.

However, we know little regarding their physiologically relevant actions. Here we functionally characterize the cognate receptor for AST-C and AST-CC, determine tissue expression and comprehensively examine the localization of AST mRNA and peptide. We also measured peptide release, circulating titers and performed bioassays to investigate possible roles. AST-C and -CC activate a single receptor (AST-CRd), but this, and other candidate receptors were not activated by AST-CCC. Whole mount in-situ hybridization (ISH) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) FISH complemented neuropeptide immunolocalization strategies and revealed extensive expression of AST-Cs in the central nervous system. AST-C or -CCC expressing neurons were found in the cerebral ganglia, but AST-CC expression was never observed. Of note, we infer that AST-C and -CC are co-expressed in every neuron expressing crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) and bursicon (BURS); all four peptides are released from the pericardial organs during a brief period coinciding with completion of emergence. In contrast to other studies, none of the AST-C peptides exhibited any effect on ecdysteroid synthesis or cardiac activity.

Molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), a neuropeptide synthesized and secreted by the eyestalk ganglia, negatively regulates YO ecdysteroidogenesis. MIH signaling is mediated by cyclic nucleotide second messengers. cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) is the presumed effector of MIH signaling by inhibiting mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1)-dependent ecdysteroidogenesis. Phylogenetic analysis of PKG contiguous sequences in CrusTome as well as 35 additional species in NCBI RefSeq, identified 206 PKG1 sequences in 108 species and 59 PKG2 sequences in 53 species. These included four PKG1α splice variants in the N-terminal region that were unique to decapods, as well as PKG1β and PKG2 homologs. In vitro assays using YOs from the blackback land crab (Gecarcinus lateralis) and green shore crab (Carcinus maenas) determined the effects of MIH±PKG inhibitors on ecdysteroid secretion. A general PKG inhibitor, Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS, countered the effects of MIH, as ecdysteroid secretion increased in PKG-inhibited YOs compared to C. maenas YOs incubated with MIH alone. By contrast, a PKG2-specific inhibitor, AP-C5 (4-[4-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)phenyl]-N-2-propyn-1-yl-2-pyrimidinamine), enhanced the effects of MIH, as ecdysteroid secretion decreased in G. lateralis and C. maenas YOs incubated with AP-C5 and MIH compared to YOs incubated with MIH alone. These data suggest that both PKG1 and PKG2 are activated by MIH, but have opposing effects on mTORC1-dependent ecdysteroidogenesis.
