Cover: Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) foraging in the ice-covered waters of Wilhelmina Bay, Western Antarctic Peninsula. The whale is outfitted with a multi-sensor recording tag to measure underwater movement and behavior. Friedlaender et al. (pp. 2851-2854) find that these whales perform unique feeding dives under sea ice and forage at extraordinarily high rates, greater than any other baleen whale. The minke whale’s unique combination of body size, feeding mechanism and habitat define a previously undocumented ecological niche unique among diving vertebrates. Photo credit: A.

The Integrative Biology of the Heart

We are pleased to welcome submissions to be considered for our upcoming special issue: The Integrative Biology of the Heart, guest edited by William Joyce and Holly Shiels. This issue will consider the biology of the heart at all levels of organisation, across animal groups and scientific fields.
JEB@100: an interview with Monitoring Editor John Terblanche

John Terblanche reveals how he narrowly avoided becoming a sports scientist and why he thinks phenotypic plasticity is the big question currently facing comparative physiologists. Find out more about the series on our Interviews page.

Reconciling the variability in the biological response of marine invertebrates to climate change

Drawing on work in reef-building corals, Zoe Dellaert and Hollie Putnam provide historical context to some of the long-standing challenges in global change biology that constrain our capacity for eco-evolutionary forecasting, as well as considering unresolved questions and future research approaches.

Sipping takes no effort for hovering hawkmoths

Hovering takes the most effort so how much energy does sipping require when hawkmoths hover? Next to nothing, apparently. Alexandre Palaoro & colleagues have discovered that the insects’ proboscises are incredibly wettable, drawing nectar along the length with no effort, giving them a free drink on the wing.
