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

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.
