Cover: A settled barnacle cyprid larva (Balanius amphitrite) imaged from beneath using confocal laser scanning microscopy (see Aldred et al., pp. 1969−1972). Barnacle cyprid adhesive is present as two brightly fluorescent green deposits. Staining was accomplished using fluoresceinamine (green), a protein-sensitive fluorophore that highlights the proteinaceous inner phase of the glue deposit. Bacteria accumulate on and around the outer non-proteinaceous phase and are stained with Hoechst nuclear stain, appearing blue. The two-phase cyprid adhesive was previously believed to be a homogeneous mixture of components. Photo credit: Neeraj V. Gohad.Close Modal - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents

Researchers from the University of Montreal, Canada, reveal how tiny filter feeding barnacles and Daphnia entrap and consume minute droplets of crude oil, introducing the pollutant at the bottom of the food chain.
Patterns and processes in amphibious fish
-Review.png?versionId=3747)
In their Review, Keegan Lutek, Cassandra Donatelli and Emily Standen discuss the biomechanics and neural control of terrestrial locomotion in amphibious fish. They explore how locomotor mode depends on body shape, physical constraints and phylogeny.
