A schematic image identifying areas of experimental biology where we anticipate substantial future contributions: including -omics approaches (represented by an image of modified DNA); how lessons about population- species- and community-level ecophysiology can be learned by focusing on individual (represented by a beetle); how physiology can be moved into the field (represented by an image of trees in rolling hills with a blue sky with clouds); and how in-silico modelling and simulations also contribute to comparative physiology (represented by an image of a computer system).

Lauren Sumner-Rooney discusses the diversity of architecture in animal visual systems, particularly those that depart from the typical two-eyed configuration in her #JEB100 Commentary in addition to outlining future directions in the area

A figure showing distributed visual systems  in a wide range of taxa and configurations. Panel A, a crab spider (family Thomisidae) with eight eyes of two types: the two principal (anterior median, white arrowhead) and six secondary eyes (black arrowhead). Panel B, the chiton Tonicia lebruni, with rows of shell eyes on either side of the body (Image: Julia Sigwart, specimen from California Academy of Sciences). Panel C, the brittle star Ophiomastix wendtii, one of two confirmed examples of non-ocular vision. Panel D, a bee with two lateral compound eyes (black arrowhead) and three ocelli (white arrowhead; image: Sam J. England). Panel E, bright blue reflector eyes of a scallop (Image: Matthew Krummins under Creative Commons). Panel F, a juvenile bullfrog Rana catesbeiana, with lateral (black arrowhead) and parietal eyes (white arrowhead; image: AlphaWolf via WikiMedia Commons). Panel G, a phylogentic tree of showing variable visual system architectures across Metazoa. Black arrows indicate phyla that exhibit variable visual architecture, i.e. variable numbers or types of eyes among taxa. Grey arrows indicate uniform visual system architecture.

As part of our #JEB100 celebrations, we have funded two new travel grants to help junior faculty:

Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grants biologists.com/grants/kickstar

and ECR Visiting Fellowships biologists.com/grants/ecr-visi

Deadline for applications: 1 Dec 2023

The banners says: 'Are you an early-carer researcher within five years of your first appointment to to a faculty position?'. In an orange box, the text says 'You could be eligible for our new Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grants'. Beneath the box is the Journal of Experimental Biology logo and on the right side of the image is the Travel Grant logo showing two hands shaking.

As part of our #JEB100 celebrations, we have produced a poster and article telling the story of the journal's first century, from its foundation by Lancelot Hogben, Julian Huxley and Frances Crew and its association with H. G. Wells, through nine Editors-in-Chief, to becoming the champion of the comparative community that it is today.
