Cover: The intensity and spectrum of artificial light at night affect animal behavior by determining the degree to which animal visual and circadian systems are influenced. Longcore et al. (jeb247235) measured light at night in the Coachella Valley, CA, USA, with hemispherical imagery (pictured) to set realistic exposure levels for a laboratory study with house mice. They showed a synergistic effect of light intensity (as perceived by humans) and spectral composition, with a much lower suppression of nocturnal activity for lights with a lower correlated color temperature, suggesting an avenue to reduce the adverse effects of light pollution through adjusting the spectrum.

Announcing the 2024 JEB Outstanding Paper Prize shortlist and winner
Every year JEB celebrates early-career researchers through the Outstanding Paper Prize. We recognise the shortlisted ECRS that contributed to 11 remarkable studies published in 2024 and congratulate the winner, Elise Laetz, from University of Groningen. See how else JEB supports and promotes ECRs.
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.
