Getting a glimpse into the sensory worlds of animals

Abstract

The Editors’ and Readers’ Choice Awards were established in 2022 to celebrate some of the outstanding articles published every year in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A. The recipients of the 2024 Editors’ Choice Awards were selected based on votes cast by the Editorial Board on articles published in 2023. In the category Original Paper, this distinction goes to ‘Views from ‘crabworld’: the spatial distribution of light in a tropical mudflat’ by Jochen Zeil (J Comp Physiol A 209:859–876, 2023); and in the category Review Article to ‘Olfactory navigation in arthropods’ by Theresa J. Steele and colleagues (J Comp Physiol A 209:467–488, 2023). The winners of the 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards were determined by the number of online accesses of articles published in 2022. In the category Original Paper, the winner is ‘Broadband 75–85 MHz radiofrequency fields disrupt magnetic compass orientation in night‑migratory songbirds consistent with a flavin‑based radical pair magnetoreceptor’ by Bo Leberecht and colleagues (J Comp Physiol A 208:97–106, 2022). In the category Review Article, the winner is ‘Magnetic maps in animal navigation’ by Kenneth J. Lohmann and colleagues (J Comp Physiol A 208:41–67, 2022), which already won the Editors’ Choice Award in 2023. Show more
