Applications are now open for Inside Out: New Frontiers in the Comparative Physiology of the Vertebrate Gut, a Workshop organised by Carol Bucking and Chris M. Wood that will examine the function of the vertebrate gastro-intestinal tract. Funded places are available for early-career researchers.

In the field: an interview with Chris Wood

Professor Chris Wood talks about his experiences on the legendary R/V Alpha Helix expedition to the Amazon in 1976, his development of the Tusker Chamber in Kenya and more recent adventures on Vancouver Island, Canada.

Docile raccoons are likely trash can criminal masterminds

Raccoons are notoriously adaptable to city dwelling, but it's not the bold proactive animals that you need to be wary of; it's the docile animals which are the best learners and likely trash can raiding criminal masterminds.

Finding the right thermal limit

In this Review, Michael Ørsted, Lisa Bjerregaard Jørgensen and Johannes Overgaard present a framework to reconcile methodological measurements and mechanisms related to the physiology of heat stress tolerance limits, thermal injury and repair in ectotherms.

Resources for early-career researchers

JEB and our publisher The Company of Biologists offer a number of practical ways to help you meet the unique needs and challenges you may encounter as an early-career researcher (ECR). Visit our dedicated ECR webpage to find out more.
