As habitat destruction continues to make waterways murkier, the ability for animals to see in the cloudy water is becoming more important. Tiarks &co show that young cichlids have larger eyes when raised in murky waters but not larger brains.

Shy sea anemones cope better with heat waves than the brave ones a new study Journal of Experimental Biology shows.
'The anemones we studied have two personality traits, bold and shy, and in extreme heat waves the shy do better,” says Lynne Sneddon researcher Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg t.ly/eFDbi

Dave Randall was indeed exceptionel and a wonderful person. The world is considerably less interesting now and he will be missed

In their recent Special Issue Review, Helen Eachus & Prof Soojin Ryu discuss how exposure to high levels of glucocorticoids can mediate adaptive plasticity during development, as well as allostatic overload in later life, especially in the context of the brain.
