Cover: The austral summer corresponds to the breeding season of Adélie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae in Antarctica. During this period, both partners have to alternate foraging trips at sea and periods on the nest. Beaulieu et al. (pp. 33−39) experimentally increased foraging constraints of one mate within pairs and examined in both mates food-related stress as well as the use of ecological niches. Both partners appeared to change their foraging decisions by foraging in more coastal areas. This flexibility may allow birds facing increased breeding constraints to avoid a chronic stress and to minimize the impact on their body condition. Photo by M.

Extraordinary creatures: mantis shrimp
In our new Conversation series focusing on extraordinary creatures, Tom Cronin and Sheila Patek tell us about the incredible biology of mantis shrimp, from their complex vision to their powerful striking abilities.
Behaviour as a physiological process
In this Commentary, Shamil Debaere & colleagues argue the case for integration of behaviour into animal physiology, and advocate for behaviour to be considered as a physiological process.
Tiny ring-necked snakes keep warm heads despite their size
Some ectotherms are able to raise the temperature of certain body parts above the temperature of other regions & now Christian Fox and Albert Chung, with undergraduates from the University of Virginia, reveal that the heads of tiny ring-necked snakes can be 2.1C warmer than their tails, even though they are only 20cm long.
