Correction: The constant threat from a non-native predator increases tail muscle and fast-start swimming performance in Xenopus tadpoles

The Forest of Biologists is a biodiversity initiative created by The Company of Biologists, with support from the Woodland Trust. For every Research and Review article published in Biology Open a native tree is planted in a UK forest. In addition to this we are protecting and restoring ancient woodland and are dedicating these trees to our peer reviewers. Visit our virtual forest to learn more.

Do you have an idea for a Workshop? We are now accepting proposals for our 2025 Biologists Workshops programme. As the scientific organiser, your involvement will be focused on the science. We'll take care of all the logistics. In 2025 we'll continue our efforts to diversify our Workshop programme and will be reserving one of our Workshops for an application from a Global South (GS) country to host an event overseas.

This A Year at the Forefront Review sheds light on the most recent developments in the study of bacterial response to and defence against reactive oxygen and chlorine species. Visit our online Open Access Journal to read all about Sadia Sultana and Jan-Ulrik Dahl's work.

Have a paper that has been reviewed elsewhere? BiO is pleased to consider such manuscripts for fast-tracked decision making. Send us your manuscript together with the full set of reviews and decision letters, and we will make an initial decision in one week (or less).

BiO’s Future Leader Reviews help early-career researchers:

• Establish themselves in their field
• Find a foothold in a new area after a subject change post-PhD/postdoc
• Build their profile for grant, fellowship and job applications
