- Fig. 1.
Rates of cooling on the skin surface and inside the body for cane toads (Rhinella marina) transferred from a refrigerator to a freezer. The panels show (A) ambient temperatures during the trials, (B) skin-surface temperatures, (C) deep-body temperatures, and (D) the thermal differential between the skin surface and the body core (means and standard errors). X-axis shows midpoint time for each 10-min period.
- Fig. 2.
Changes in brain activity measured as cumulative EEG power, and delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma power, as a function of time spent in the new thermal regime. Across all frequency bandwidths, brain activity shows a smooth decline across the first 60 min in the fridge and 30 min in the freezer (means and standard errors). X-axis shows midpoint time for each 10-min period.

Cover article – Temperature-induced physiological stress and reproductive characteristics of the migratory seahorse Hippocampus erectus
Seahorses have previously been regarded as a sedentary species. Now Qiang Lin and co-workers describe an inshore-offshore migration pattern driven by water temperature, and an associated high tolerance to thermal stress in the animals’ reproductive system.

Featured article – Spatio-temporal neural stem cell behavior leads to both perfect and imperfect structural brain regeneration in adult newts
Kiyokazu Agata and colleagues report that structural regeneration of brain cytoarchitecture in adult newts depends on how the wound is closed by neural stem cells residing between brain sub-regions.

Transfer to Biology Open
If your submission to one of our other journals, Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology or Disease Models & Mechanism, is unsuccessful, did you know you can transfer your paper and any reviews directly to Biology Open? The majority of papers transferred with reviews are accepted for publication. Find out how here.
preLights – Preprint highlights, selected by the biological community
Meet the preLighters! The preLights team caught up with Erik Clark, a postdoc at the University of Cambridge and winner of the BSDB Beddington medal for the best PhD thesis in Developmental Biology, to talk about his evo-devo research and his experience with preprints and preLights.
