Cover: Archegozetes longisetosus is a soil-dwelling microarthropod (length, <1 mm; mass, 100 mg). By measuring muscle forces, Heethoff and Koerner (pp. 3036−3042) show that this species produces forces of more than 1000 times its body weight. Relative forces were compared to those of insects and it is shown that, despite its small body size, A. longisetosus produces higher forces than any reported insect species. Also, the muscle stresses are much higher than in insects or vertebrates. 3-D image produced using VGStudio Max software (Volume Graphics). Data obtained by synchrotron X-ray microtomography at the ESRF in Grenoble, France by M. Heethoff; experiment SC2127. - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents

Every year JEB celebrates early-career researchers through the Outstanding Paper Prize. We recognise the shortlisted ECRS that contributed to 11 remarkable studies published in 2024 and congratulate the winner, Elise Laetz, from University of Groningen. See how else JEB supports and promotes ECRs.
Inside the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change with Hans-Otto Pörtner
During the past two decades, Hans-Otto Pörtner has steered climate change policy as a co-Chair of IPCC Working Group II. He tells us about the experience in this Perspective.
Photosynthesis turns symbiotic sea anemone's tentacles toward sun
Snakelocks sea anemones point their tentacles, packed with symbiotic algae, toward the sun so their lodgers can photosynthesize, and now Vengamanaidu Modepalli & colleagues have discovered that photosynthesis by the algae guides their host's tentacles towards the sun.
