Evolutionary Biology, of which this is the seventeenth volume, continues to offer its readers a wide range of original articles, reviews, and com#65533; mentaries on evolution, in the broadest sense of that term. The topics of reviews range from anthropology and behavior to molecular biology and systematics. In recent volumes, a broad spectrum of articles have ap#65533; peared on subjects such as natural selection among replicating molecules in vitro, mate recognition and the reproductive behavior of Drosophila, molecular systematics of Crocodilia, evolution of the monocotyledons, and the communication network made possible among even distantly re#65533; lated genera of bacteria by plasmids and transposable elements. Articles such as these, often too long for standard journals, are the stuff of Ev#65533; olutionary Biology. The editors continue to solicit manuscripts on an international scale in an effort to see that everyone of the many facets of biological evolution is covered. Manuscripts should be sent to anyone of the following: Max K. Hecht, Department of Biology, Queens College of the City University of New York, Flushing, New York 11367; Bruce Wallace, Department of Biology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacks#65533; burg, Virginia 24061; Ghillean T. Prance, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458.
