Linnaeus at 300: We are family p247
Updating the tree of life needs both the skills of evolutionary biologists and the data from genome-crunchers — the two ignore each other at their peril. John Whitfield reports.

Linnaeus at 300: The species and the specious p250
For some, species are simply the things you save; but for taxonomists, the concept is much more complex. Emma Marris asks whether Linnaeus's legacy is cut out for conservation.

Linnaeus at 300: The big name hunters p253
Professional taxonomists often bristle at non-professionals who name new species without going through peer review. But are amateur naturalists really bad for science? Brendan Borrell reports.

Linnaeus at 300: The royal raccoon from Swedesboro p255
Although Linnaeus is best known for his botany and taxonomy, he was also an anatomist — and a keeper of pets. Henry Nicholls tells the story of Sjupp the raccoon.

Linnaeus in the information age p259
As we celebrate the visionary genius of Carl Linnaeus, it is time to analyse how professional taxonomy interfaces with the rest of biology and beyond. Where next for Linnaeus's heirs, asks H. C. J. Godfray?

A protein called 14-3-3
inhibits the cell cycle and may act as a tumour suppressor. It now turns out that it is also involved in regulating protein synthesis from messenger RNA during cell division.

Trapped by mirrors, a photon can be monitored from birth to death by a stream of passing atoms. The technique could also be used to entangle the quantum states of many atoms — a possible boon for quantum computing.
