Cover: A bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is shown poking its head through a curtain of microbubbles that was used to visualize the wake of the animal when actively swimming. The bubbles were generated from a fine porous hose connected to a compressed air source. Using digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) from the bubbles, the propulsive forces were calculated. From measurements on two dolphins, Fish et al. (pp. 252−260) show that these animals can produce high thrust and power output at moderate swimming speeds and do not require special drag-reducing mechanisms. Photo credit: F.

Extraordinary creatures: mantis shrimp
In our new Conversation series focusing on extraordinary creatures, Tom Cronin and Sheila Patek tell us about the incredible biology of mantis shrimp, from their complex vision to their powerful striking abilities.
Behaviour as a physiological process
In this Commentary, Shamil Debaere & colleagues argue the case for integration of behaviour into animal physiology, and advocate for behaviour to be considered as a physiological process.
Tiny ring-necked snakes keep warm heads despite their size
Some ectotherms are able to raise the temperature of certain body parts above the temperature of other regions & now Christian Fox and Albert Chung, with undergraduates from the University of Virginia, reveal that the heads of tiny ring-necked snakes can be 2.1C warmer than their tails, even though they are only 20cm long.
