Cover Legend

The cover shows the ventral view of a mature male and larger female black-footed slipper snails (Crepidula atrasolea). These snails are presented as a new laboratory model for studying development in a spiralian (lophotrochozoan) animal. For further details, see article by Henry et al., pp. 479-493 in the present issue.
