Cover: Mechanical phase shifter in the cricket left forewing. Male crickets produce tonal calls in the range from 2 to 6 kHz to attract conspecific females. Sounds are generated by stridulation: a plectrum on the left forewing tegmen strikes teeth of a modified vein on the right tegmen. Remarkably, both tegmina contribute to sound radiation; therefore, they must oscillate in phase to circumvent destructive interference. But the nature of tooth impacts causes both forewings to react in opposite oscillatory directions. To overcome this problem, the plectrum bears a mechanical phase shifter that changes the phase of the left forewing into that of the right forewing (see article by F. Montealegre-Z, J. F. C. Windmill, G. K. Morris and D. Robert, pp. 257-269). Illustrations and photograph by F. Montealegre-Z. - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents

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.
