In article number 1902238, David Kisailus and co‐workers identify multiscale structure‐mechanical property relationships within the shield‐like exoskeletal telson structure of the mantis shrimp, used for defense and protection. Comparison of telsons from two evolutionarily divergent species reveal differences in macromorphology, cuticle thickness, and mineralization, imparting compressive stiffness...
