Vote for your favourite Development cover, 2016

Posted by , on 19 December 2016

*Winner announced!*

With over 200 votes counted, the cover of Development’s Special Issue on Plant Development has won the voter’s favourite cover for 2016! The fruit bat came second, and in joint third the fly nervous system and the fly legs. A fitting variety of model organisms for a great year in developmental biology!

 

 

In our in-house competition, the fly nervous system won the Development team’s vote (showing we’re not too far from public opinion!) , but sadly lost out to these beautiful blood cells from our sister journal in the Company of Biologists, The Journal of Cell Science.

 

 

 


 

The cover images for the 24 issues of Development in 2016 showcase the breadth and beauty of developmental biology today. Model systems from plants to bats were imaged in various modalities – confocal and electron microscopy, microCT, good old fashioned skeletal preps and darkfield – and we also featured some in silico modelling.

Which one is your favourite? You can vote below the gallery (click to expand), and tell us why in the comments section.

 

 

Poll closes Thursday, 22nd December, 13.00 GMT!
