Editorial

Abstract

The 2012 issue of Living World is dedicated to Dr. Julian S. Kenny, former Professor of Zoology, University of the West Indies and a long-standing and influential supporter of the Journal. In this issue, we publish five Research Papers and a record thirteen Nature Notes spanning a wide range of taxa and life habits. However, in this issue we have no paper on plants; but fortunately our Guest Editorial this year on the Darwin Initiative comes from Yasmin Comeau, Curator of the National Herbarium and our flo- ra is given recognition.
