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

In this Editorial, Craig Franklin, Michaela Handel and Kathryn Knight reflect on recent developments at JEB and acknowledge the support of the community during what has been a particularly challenging year. Looking forward, they discuss the journal’s centenary celebrations in 2023.
Our Transformative Journals have exceeded their OA growth targets
Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology are Transformative Journals, meaning that they gradually increase their share of Open Access research content each year. Our journals have not only met, but exceeded their Open Access growth targets for 2021.

In the field: an interview with Roger Hanlon
Roger Hanlon talks about his fieldwork experiences diving all over the planet to understand cephalopod camouflage and communication.
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.
