Cover: Circadian systems have evolved to temporally coordinate an animal’s physiology with environmental cycles. Although circadian rhythms have been described in a variety of insect species, the praying mantis has received limited attention. Schirmer, Prete and colleagues (pp. 3853−3861) used a multilevel experimental approach to assess whether circadian rhythms modulate the visual physiology and behavior of the praying mantis Hierodula patellifera (pictured). The results of these experiments suggest that circadian rhythms are widespread and operate at the cellular, cellular systems and organismal levels in this species.

In their Perspective, Janneke Schwaner and Ksenia Keplinger propose 10 useful strategies for experimental biologists at all career stages to become active allies for gender diversity and inclusion and to help close the gender gap in our field.
The Company of Biologists celebrates its first Global South Workshop
In March 2024, Andrea Fuller and Kênia Bicego organised the first Global South (GS) Workshop hosted by The Company of Biologists - How Global South Research Can Shape the Future of Comparative Physiology - bringing together ECRs from the GS and international experts in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Find out about this extraordinary meeting in our Perspective.
High-resolution WildPose 3D scans revolutionise biomechanics in the wild
Collecting detailed kinematics from animals in the wild is a holy grail of biomechanics, and now Naoya Muramatsu and colleagues reveal the extraordinary observations that they have made with their new WildPose wildlife motion capture system in South Africa.
