Cover Illustration: Adult female of the American wandering spider Cupiennius salei. The spider has caught a cricket and begun digesting its prey. Cupiennius salei is one of the emerging model organisms in Evo-Devo research. (Image courtesy of Andreas Hartl.) For more information on this organism, see The American Wandering Spider Cupiennius salei (doi:10.1101/pdb.emo103).
