100th Volume

Journal of Heredity celebrates its 100th Volume in 2009


Editor-in-Chief, C. Scott Baker, is proud to announce that in 2009 we celebrate not only the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of "On the Origin of Species", but also publication of the 100th volume of the Journal of Heredity.

The primary scope of the Journal has evolved over the years, shifting away from practical applications of plant, animal, and human breeding, towards primary research in organismal genomics and evolutionary diversity. As part of this centenary celebration, we are also pleased to provide free electronic access to all articles in the first issue of volume 100. Articles include:

• descriptions of the worldwide phylogeography of bottlenose dolphins
• the geographic origins of the avocado cultivars
• the stunningly low diversity of microsatellites in the Hawaiian monk seals
• surprisingly restricted, pollen-mediated gene flow among wild grapevines

Please click here to appreciate the tremendous diversity of the Journal's current scope, and to consider the possibilities offered by the exploding growth in genomics over the next decade and century.

Oxford Journals is also offering you free access to the 100 most cited papers in the history of the journal.
