Cover: Predation attempt of a dusky cardinalfish, Phaeoptyx pigmenteria, on the luminescent ostracod Photeros annecohenae. The ostracod was expectorated, and is seen swimming away unharmed at the bottom of the luminescent cloud. Male P. annecohenae also use luminescence for highly complex courtship displays, and Rivers and Morin (pp. 2860−2868) discuss the relative costs of the mating and defensive displays. The image was taken using a specially built ÔcolourÕ-intensified camera, where light is split into two streams for two different image intensifiers, one sensitive to infrared to illuminate the organisms without detection, and the other to blue to simultaneously capture luminescence.

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.

Mexican fruit flies wave for distraction

Dinesh Rao and colleagues have discovered that Mexican fruit flies vanish in a blur in the eyes of predatory spiders when they wave their wings at the arachnids, buying the flies time to make their escape.
