5/5/2015. The Awá people of the Brazilian Amazon. Some of the Awá have recently contacted the outside world, and such contacts with isolated tribes are on the rise. Anthropologists say that these emerging tribes are threatened by common Western diseases and exploitative outsiders and may face a dangerous future without protection.

22 Ma 2015. Various species of plankton. Using the research vessel Tara, the Tara Oceans expedition sampled plankton ecosystems around the world and collected associated oceanographic data. The wet part of the expedition was accompanied by an integrative analysis on land, incorporating DNA sequencing and bioinformatics, microscopic imaging, and network analysis. Photos: C.

15 May 2015. A young woman in Havana checks her smartphone last month. Warmer ties between Cuba and the United States are expected to better integrate Cuban scientists into the global community and boost joint research on topics as diverse as the island's stunning coral reefs and the mosquito-borne chikungunya disease.

A representation of how variation in the human genome affects gene expression among individuals and tissues. Colors and shapes show variations between people and within individuals. The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Consortium examined postmortem tissue to document how genetic variants confer differences in gene expression across the human body.

COVER 10 April 2015. On 27 February 2015, Planet Labs released two CubeSats from the International Space Station, adding to its swarm of Earth-observing satellites, which are no larger than a loaf of bread. Each CubeSat can discern features as small as trees and trucks. But the real power comes from having dozens, even hundreds, in space; the company plans to image the entire Earth every day.

6/3/1015: In 1915, Albert Einstein was a celebrity. His idea of seamlessly interwoven space and time—spacetime—had revolutionized physics and dazzled the world. Then he published his masterpiece: a short paper describing how warped spacetime creates gravity. A century later, that "general theory of relativity" remains a pillar of physics and Einstein a peerless scientific icon.

Feb.20, 2015. Sea slugs like the Spanish shawl nudibranch (Flabellina iodinea) are model systems for helping us to understand neural circuits, cellular properties of neurons, neuromodulation, learning, memory, and behavioral evolution. The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Neuroethology will be held 28 June to 3 July 2015 in Barga, Italy. See page 888 for the Gordon Research Conference schedule and preliminary programs.

Termite mounds (shown here in the Tanami Desert, Australia) are ubiquitous in tropical grasslands and savannas, where they generate distinctive spatial patterns and influence key ecological processes. These regularly spaced mounds are often resource-rich relative to surrounding soils, enhancing plant growth on and/or around the mounds. Photo: © William D. Bachman/Science Source 6 Feb. 2015.

COVER 30 January 2015: Data pour out of us and our devices every second of every day, and people no longer control their personal privacy. Understanding how these data streams can be used will help us to cope with the consequences. For a key to the data in the art on the cover and on page 490 (high-res version), search for an encrypted URL and decode it. Image: William Duke
