Cover: The predatory sea star Pisaster ochraceus lives in the rocky intertidal, where it experiences harsh conditions. The temperature of the five arms and the central disc fluctuates largely at low tide. Yet the relationship between regional heterothermy and the response to sublethal and lethal conditions remains underexplored. Pincebourde et al. (pp. 2183−2191) studied the link between arm and central disc temperatures, survival and arm abscission. They found that arms were actively maintained warmer than the central disc to keep this vital part below the lethal temperature level. This strategy comes, however, at the risk of losing one or several arms. Photo credit: S. Pincebourde.Close Modal - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents
Celebrating 100 years of discovery

Craig Franklin launches our centenary celebrations
Editor-in-Chief Craig Franklin reflects on 100 years of JEB and looks forward to our centenary celebrations, including a supplementary special issue, a new early-career researcher interview series and the launch of our latest funding initiatives.
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.
