Cover: The vocal system of American alligators consists of a combination of features that are also found in the extremely vocal birds and mammals. Riede, Tokuda and Farmer (pp. 3082−3095) investigated how juvenile alligators modulate fundamental frequency of their calls. Physiological measurements and a vocal fold computer model indicate that the fine-tuned interplay between lung pressure and glottal adduction is responsible for frequency modulations. This suggests that the alligator larynx represents a sound source with only two active control parameters in contrast to the mammalian larynx in which three parameters can be altered to modulate frequency.

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.
