Sharpshooting archerfish brake to overcome recoil

Archerfish are exceptional snipers and now it turns out that they use their fins as brakes to counteract the recoil that would submerge them when taking out a target with a jet of water.

Responses of terrestrial polar arthropods to high and increasing temperatures

In a Review of thermal adaptation of polar terrestrial arthropods to high temperatures, Bahrndorff et al. conclude that a large variation in upper thermal limits exists across polar regions, habitats and species.
