Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Color vision is widespread among insects but varies among species, depending on the spectral sensitivities and interplay of the participating photoreceptors. The spectral sensitivity of a photoreceptor is principally determined by the absorption spectrum of the expressed visual pigment, but it can be modified by various optical and electrophysiological factors. For example, screening and filtering pigments, rhabdom waveguide properties, retinal structure, and neural processing all influence the perceived color signal. We review the diversity in compound eye structure, visual pigments, photoreceptor physiology, and visual ecology of insects. Based on an overview of the current information about the spectral sensitivities of insect photoreceptors, covering 221 species in 13 insect orders, we discuss the evolution of color vision and highlight present knowledge gaps and promising future research directions in the field.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- During the 99 years of its history, the Journal of Comparative Physiology A has published many of the most influential papers in comparative physiology and related disciplines. To celebrate this achievement of the journal’s authors, annual Editors’ Choice Awards and Readers’ Choice Awards are presented. The winners of the 2023 Editors’ Choice Awards are ‘Contact chemoreception in multi‑modal sensing of prey by Octopus’ by Buresch et al. (J Comp Physiol A 208:435–442, 2022) in the Original Paper category; and ‘Magnetic maps in animal navigation’ by Lohmann et al. (J Comp Physiol A 208:41–67, 2022) in the Review/Review-History Article category. The winners of the 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards are ‘Coping with the cold and fighting the heat: thermal homeostasis of a superorganism, the honeybee colony’ by Stabentheiner et al. (J Comp Physiol A 207:337–351; 2021) in the Original Paper category; and ‘Einstein, von Frisch and the honeybee: a historical letter comes to light’ by Dyer et al. (J Comp Physiol A 207:449–456, 2021) in the Review/Review-History category.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This year marks the inauguration of the annual Editors’ Choice Award and the Readers’ Choice Award, each presented for outstanding original papers and review articles published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A. The winners of the 2022 Editors’ Choice Award were determined by vote of the Editorial Board for the most highly recommended papers published in Volume 207 in 2021. They are ‘Visual discrimination and resolution in freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygon motoro)’ by Daniel et al. (J Comp Physiol A 207, 43–58, 2021) in the Original Paper category; and ‘Neurophysiology goes wild: from exploring sensory coding in sound proof rooms to natural environments’ by Römer (J Comp Physiol A 207, 303–319, 2021) in the Review Article category. The 2022 Readers’ Choice Award was based on access number of articles published in Volume 206 in 2020, to ensure at least 12-month online presence. It is given to Nicholas et al. for their original paper titled ‘Visual motion sensitivity in descending neurons in the hoverfly’ (J Comp Physiol A 206, 149–163, 2020); and to Schnaitmann et al. for their review article entitled ‘Color vision in insects: insights from Drosophila’ (J Comp Physiol A 206, 183–198, 2020).
