Cover: After shedding its rigid exoskeleton, this newly molted blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) is supported by a thin, flimsy cuticle. As crabs switch from a rigid to a hydrostatic skeleton during molting, the function of the exoskeleton (cuticle) changes. Examination of the mechanical properties of the cuticle during the molt cycle reveals significant changes that correspond with the change in mechanical function of the cuticle (see article by J. R. A. Taylor, J. Hebrank and W. M. Kier, pp. 4272−4278). The cuticle mechanical properties facilitate the use of two different skeletal support systems. Photograph by William M.

INSIDE JEB
Announcing the 2024 JEB Outstanding Paper Prize shortlist and winner
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.
