ALT First page of Research Article, Penguins maintain effort, despite reduced dive efficiency, with limited physiological response under increased swimming workload, by Camille Lemonnier, Antoine Stier, Anne Cillard, Marine Montblanc, Fabrice Bertile, Pierre Bize, Jean-Patrice Robin, Vincent A. Viblanc, Charles-André Bost and Yves Handrich. The publishing information states: © 2026. Published by The Company of Biologists | Journal of Experimental Biology (2026) 229, jeb252912. doi:10.1242/jeb.252912. The first sentence of the abstract reads: 'In the highly variable marine habitat, studying how free-ranging animals cope with variation in the energy cost of locomotion is key to understanding their flexibility and survival'.

The background is black with sparkling droplets of water falling through the air on the right, behind the bat, which is flying toward the left of the image. Green foliage and balsa flower buds are beneath the bat, as it approaches the single open balsa flower. (Photo credit: Christian Ziegler). Above the picture of the bat is the Journal of Experimental Biology logo in a white bar with 'Volume 229 (20) October 2026' at the top of the cover. The Company of Biologists logo is in the bottom left corner of the cover.
