We are an independent, charitable body and derive our authoritative status from over 1400 Fellows and Foreign Members. AIMS AND SCOPE Each issue of Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B is devoted to a specific area of the biological sciences. This area will define a research frontier that is advancing rapidly, often bridging traditional disciplines. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B is essential reading for scientists working across the biological sciences. In particular, the journal is focused on the following four cluster areas: neuroscience and cognition; organismal and evolutionary biology; cell and developmental biology; and health and disease. As well as theme issues, the journal publishes papers from the Royal Society’s biological discussion meetings. For information on submitting a proposal for a theme issue, consult the journal‘s website at rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org. Our mission: to expand knowledge and further the role of science and engineering in making the world a better place. The Royal Society’s strategic priorities are to: • invest in future scientific leaders and in • ISBN: 978-1-78252-042-9 Copyright © 2013 The Royal Society Except as otherwise permitted under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988, this publication may only be reproduced, stored or transmitted, in any form or by any other means, with the prior permission in writing of the publisher, or in the case of reprographic reproduction, in accordance with the terms of a licence issued by the Copyright Licensing Agency.
