Cover: Elephants moving across a force platform at the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang, Thailand. Despite the elephant's great size, J. J. Genin, P. A. Willems, G. A. Cavagna, R. Lair and N. C. Heglund (pp. 694−706) have shown that the centre of mass of an elephant only goes up and down 1 (high speed) to 3 cm (walking) each step, limiting the work done against gravity. This 'smooth ride' contributes to the minimization of the work done by the elephants during locomotion (J kg−1 m−1), which is only 1/3 to 1/5 that of other animals. Photos by N. C.

How climbing parrots achieve pitch stability while ascending
Climbing parrots push and pull with their feet on ladder rungs and push with their tails to prevent themselves from toppling backward as they ascend.
Towards understanding the neural origins of hibernation
Madeleine Junkins, Sviatoslav Bagriantsev and Elena Gracheva review the role of the nervous system in hibernation, arguing that it actively promotes and supports the hibernation process rather than simply enduring it.
