Metabolic Flexibility in Insects: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Implications | Annual Reviews The evolutionary success of insects may be partly attributed to their profound ability to adjust metabolism in response to environmental stress or resource variability at a range of timescales. Metabo...

Excited to see this paper in press. The result of a decade (!!) long conversation with Philipp about insect's profound metabolic solutions to the challenges of life...

Social media postcard promoting the JEB Special Issue: The Integrative Biology of the gut. The card includes the Guest Editors names: Carol Bucking, Matt Regan and John Terblanche. The Journal of Experimental logo is in the bottom left of the card and the Special Issue icon -- showing a generic gut overlaying a image of an environment including the sun, a tree, the soil, a lake and some bacteria -- is on the right side of the card

Our special issue The integrative Biology of the Gut is building. It addresses questions regarding the functional role of the gut, from the cellular level to its interactions with other organs & tissues, including its role in ecophysiological processes

A part of a figure from the Commentary with the heading 'Intraspecies comparison of gastric and agastric gene-edited fish'. On the left is the subheading 'WT atp4a +/+ with a depiction of a fish called Astyanax mexicanus beneath the subheading. Below this is the subheading 'WT atp4a -/- with the same a depiction an Astyanax mexicanus beneath the subheading. In the middle is a bracket connecting the two fish depictions leading to the words 'Reduced confounding factors' showing that there are advantages to using gene editing rather than comparing different species.

In their Commentary, Ferreira & co explore the repeated evolutionary loss of the stomach in fishes, describe how this affects their digestion, discuss our current understanding of how the stomach helps digest proteins and highlight unresolved questions
