Cover: Coral reef ecosystems are of great economic value, but they are threatened by global climate change. Most evidence indicates that elevated temperature is the cause of mass bleaching events. On the Great Barrier Reef, such events could bleach 45% of corals to some degree. Turbinaria reniformis is a symbiotic hermatypic coral that is present on reefs in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific. Béraud et al. (pp. 2665−2674) studied the link between the nitrogen status of the coral holobiont and temperature stress. They found that small nitrogen addition maintains high levels of photosynthetic and photoprotective pigments in the symbionts and allows for maximal rates of photosynthesis. Photo credit: E.

On 1 July, FocalPlane celebrated its first birthday!
Look back over the community site's successful first year and join the celebrations as FocalPlane launches a new image competition to feature on the cover of Journal of Cell Science.
Is hypoxia vulnerability in fishes a by-product of maximum metabolic rate?
In their Commentary, Andrew Esbaugh and co-authors provide evidence that oxygen supply capacity in some fishes is optimized for performance at low oxygen, and discuss the implications of this finding for calculations of metabolic index.
Determinants of climbing energetic costs in humans
Since our ancient ancestors descended from the trees few of us looked back but now Elaine Kozmer and Herman Pontzer find that despite our terrestrial lifestyle human climbers are just as efficient as our arboreal primate cousins.
