Cover: Pomacentrus amboinensis is a territorial damselfish that inhabits the shallow waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Experiments carried out by Siebeck and colleagues in the laboratory with freshly caught specimens reveal that the fish are able to perform visual discrimination tasks and distinguish between blue and yellow colours irrespective of their brightness (see article by U. E. Siebeck, G. M. Wallis and L. Litherland, pp. 354−360). This represents the first compelling evidence for the existence of colour vision in a coral reef fish and paves the way for further investigations into their 'perceptual abilities'. Photograph by U.

The Forest of Biologists
We are excited to announce the launch of The Forest of Biologists, a new biodiversity initiative created with support from the Woodland Trust, aiming to counteract nature loss and safeguard some of the most critically endangered ecosystems for future generations. Do take a look around our virtual forest. For every Research Article and Review/Commentary article that is published in JEB, a native tree is planted in a forest in the UK.
Celebrating 100 years of discovery
We are proud to be celebrating 100 years of discovery in Journal of Experimental Biology. Visit our centenary webpage to find out more about how we are marking this historic milestone.
Looking back on the first issue of JEB
Journal of Experimental Biology launched in 1923 as The British Journal of Experimental Biology. As we celebrate our centenary, we look back at that first issue and the zoologists publishing their work in the new journal.
JEB@100 Conversation
In our new Conversation series JEB@100, JEB Editor-in-Chief Craig Franklin talks about the big outstanding questions in the field of physiological plasticity and why he thinks a sense of community is key to the journal's success. Find out more here.
Deer mice overheat and struggle to run in high temperatures
The impacts of warming temperatures associated with climate change on performance are poorly understood in most mammals. Matthew Eizenga and colleagues examined the thermal performance curve of endurance running capacity at high temperatures in the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus).
Propose new workshop for 2025
Do you have an idea for a Workshop? We are now accepting proposals for our 2025 Biologists Workshops programme. As the scientific organiser, your involvement will be focused on the science. We'll take care of all the logistics. In 2025 we'll continue our efforts to diversify our Workshop programme and will be reserving one of our Workshops for an application from a Global South (GS) country to host an event overseas.
