Cover: The diving bell spider, Argyroneta aquatica, spends practically its entire life underwater in ponds throughout Europe and Asia. The species constructs a gas-filled diving bell suspended underwater in a web of silk fibers between aquatic plants where it also feeds (picture) and lays eggs. The gas within the diving bell is replenished with air brought from the surface. R. S. Seymour and S. K. Hetz (pp. 2175−2181) examined the gas transfer between the water and diving bell and found that oxygen uptake from the water satisfies most of the metabolic demands, and replenishment is rare, even in warm, stagnant water.

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.
