Cover: After about 100 years of Drosophila research, a new large pair of inflow valves (ostia) in the anterior heart chamber and associated 'venous' channels have been discovered by L.T. Wasserthal, and their central role in heartbeat reversals analyzed (pp. 3707−3719). Long-time recordings of heartbeat in intact flies were performed using a linear optosensor array for measurement of the transmitted IR light after lateral passage through the heart. This allowed detection of pulse direction, pulse speed and frequency along five sensor points. The new fifth set of inflow tracts helps clarify the connection between genetically distinct cell types and their ontogenetic fate. - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents

Using the reactive scope model to redefine social stress in fishes
In their Review, Katie Gilmour and colleagues redefine the ambiguous concept of social stress by using the reactive scope model as a framework to explain the divergent physiological phenotypes of dominant and subordinate fishes.
JEB grants to support junior faculty
Learn about the grants that we launched in 2023 to support junior faculty from two of our awardees: Erin Leonard, Early-Career Researcher (ECR) Visiting Fellowship recipient, and Pauline Fleischmann, Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grant recipient. The next deadline to apply is 6 June 2025.
Thirteen-lined ground squirrels survive extraordinarily low blood oxygen
Brynne Duffy and colleagues reveal that thirteen-lined ground squirrels are true hypoxia champions surviving extreme low blood oxygen, down to just 34% oxygen, when they emerge briefly from hibernation.
The Company of Biologists Workshops
For the last 15 years, our publisher, The Company of Biologists, has provided an apt environment to inspire biology and support biologists through our Workshops series. Read about the evolution of the Workshop series and revisit JEB's experience with hosting the first Global South Workshop.
Fast & Fair peer review
Our sister journal Biology Open has recently launched the next phase of their Fast & Fair peer review initiative: offering high-quality peer review within 7 working days.
