The Royal Society is the UK academy of science. Independent since its founding more than 300 years ago, it promotes, funds, and disseminates science nationally and internationally. It thereby exerts a powerful influence on science, engineering, and technology (SET) research and development worldwide, and is at the forefront of efforts to advance knowledge and enhance quality of life. The Society's major roles and activities involve:
* funding high calibre research and disseminating research results through meetings, exhibitions, publications and lectures.
* recognizing and rewarding excellence in SET. * providing independent, authoritative, advice to government on science policy. * fostering public understanding and awareness of SET and promoting science education. * supporting and encouraging research into the history of science.

Cover picture from the paper by Prum et al. The plumage of the rose-faced lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis) includes vivid structural colours that are produced by the interaction of light with the nanostructure of the feather barbs. The physical mechanism for the production of these and other feather barb structural colours is investigated in the paper.

The background design is taken from figure 4 of Parker et al. (1998). It is a scanning electron micrograph showing the detail of two adjacent ommatidia of the corneal surface of Zalea minor, an extant dipteran (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B 265, 811-815).
