Cover: A clutch of first-stage stomatopod larvae (Lysiosquillina maculata). These larvae are illuminated in such a way to make both their transparent bodies as well as their green-reflective ‘eyeshine’ highly visible on a black background. In this issue, Feller and Cronin (pp. 3263-3273) examine properties of stomatopod larval eyeshine, concluding it serves as a novel pelagic camouflage reflective strategy spectrally matched to the natural light environment. Although eyeshine may appear highly visible on a black background, in nature, eye structures disguise the opaque retinas so that invisibility achieved by the larvae’s transparent body tissue is minimally compromised.

Inside the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change with Hans-Otto Pörtner
During the past two decades, Hans-Otto Pörtner has steered climate change policy as a co-Chair of IPCC Working Group II. He tells us about the experience in this Perspective.
Photosynthesis turns symbiotic sea anemone's tentacles toward sun
Snakelocks sea anemones point their tentacles, packed with symbiotic algae, toward the sun so their lodgers can photosynthesize, and now Vengamanaidu Modepalli & colleagues have discovered that photosynthesis by the algae guides their host's tentacles towards the sun.
