Cover: Tunu, a young spotted seal (Phoca largha), is pictured with the experimental apparatus used for his behavioral hearing tests. Sills et al. (pp. 726−734) measured the auditory sensitivity of two spotted seals under various environmental conditions, and demonstrated that these amphibious seals possess auditory capabilities comparable to those of hearing specialists both in air and under water. This study provides new understanding of spotted seal auditory biology and the effects of noise on hearing, and informs best management practice for these seals in a rapidly changing Arctic environment.

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.
