Cover: The sponge Asbestopluma hypogea is unusual because of its peculiar carnivorous feeding habit. Starved animals are characterized by many elongated filaments (cover picture) crucial for the capture of prey. After capture, these filaments actively regress before being regenerated during a subsequent period of starvation. Martinand-Mari et al. (pp. 3937−3943) show that these events rely on a highly dynamic cellular turnover, implying a coordinated set of mechanisms, including programmed cell death, cell proliferation and cell migration, as complex as those already identified in bilaterian metazoans. The authors also identified a candidate niche for cell renewal by stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Photo credit: Alain Sahuquet. - 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.
