Cover Figure


COVER A wood beetle, Platynus decentis, with tracheal tubes visible at the junction of the head and thorax. This specimen was used in the x-ray imaging study of insect respiration reported on page 558, which revealed a mechanism of rapid respiration in insects analogous to the inflation and deflation of vertebrate lungs.
