Cover: A red kite (Milvus milvus) uses its keen eyes to scan for prey. Many raptors, such as the red kite, use vision to find and catch rodents and songbirds. Raptors have ultraviolet-sensitive photoreceptors, but how sensitive these receptors are and how they are used in foraging has been unclear. Lind et al. (pp. 1819−1826) show that raptors have low ultraviolet sensitivity compared with other bird species and?that raptors probably rely little on ultraviolet vision for finding prey.

Sharpshooting archerfish brake to overcome recoil
Archerfish are exceptional snipers and now it turns out that they use their fins as brakes to counteract the recoil that would submerge them when taking out a target with a jet of water.
Responses of terrestrial polar arthropods to high and increasing temperatures
In a Review of thermal adaptation of polar terrestrial arthropods to high temperatures, Bahrndorff et al. conclude that a large variation in upper thermal limits exists across polar regions, habitats and species.
