About the Cover
Cover: The starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis will readily undergo both sexual and asexual reproduction under laboratory conditions. Asexual reproduction occurs by transverse fission (pictured here). The animal experiences a polarity reversal as a new pharynx and tentacle crown form at the aboral pole. Subsequently, this two-headed individual will undergo body wall fission, producing two independent animals. See article by Martindale et al. on p. 2463.
