Cover: 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth (12th February) and the 150th anniversary of the publication of 'On the Origin of Species'. Following his five-year voyage on the Beagle, Darwin formulated his theory on evolution through natural selection. To this day, Darwin's theory remains the cornerstone of modern biology and is constantly reinforced by molecular and genomic studies. The Beagle's voyage map is reproduced with permission from John van Wyhe ed., The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online (http://darwin-online.org.uk/). The cover figure was designed by Cheryl Ryan.
