Cover: Experiments have shown that anguilliform swimmers generate laterally split wakes with two rows of vortices whereas carangiform swimmers generate wakes with a single row of connected vortex loops. I. Borazjani and F. Sotiropoulos (pp. 576−592) carried out three-dimensional numerical simulations and showed that this striking difference is not due to body shape and/or kinematics but rather a Strouhal number effect. The figure visualizes the calculated wake structure of a tethered lamprey at Reynolds number Re_4000 and Strouhal number St=0.2. The numerical results suggest that anguilliform swimmers would also generate a single row wake if they could swim at Strouhal numbers in the same range as carangiform swimmers.Close Modal - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents

After 15 years with the journal, Julian Dow from University of Glasgow, UK, is stepping down as a Monitoring Editor. We wish Julian all the best for the future and welcome John Terblanche, Stellenbosch University, South Africa, who is joining the team. Julian talks about his long association with The Company of Biologists and the journal and John tells us about his life and career in this News article.
The capture of crude oil droplets by filter feeders at high and low Reynolds numbers

Researchers from the University of Montreal, Canada, reveal how tiny filter feeding barnacles and Daphnia entrap and consume minute droplets of crude oil, introducing the pollutant at the bottom of the food chain.
Patterns and processes in amphibious fish
-Review.png?versionId=3747)
In their Review, Keegan Lutek, Cassandra Donatelli and Emily Standen discuss the biomechanics and neural control of terrestrial locomotion in amphibious fish. They explore how locomotor mode depends on body shape, physical constraints and phylogeny.
