Carl Linnaeus introduced the systematic classification upon which all subsequent natural history has been built. This Nature web focus brings together a range of material celebrating the tercentenary of his birth in 1707, including features on how the explosion of genetic data changes the way we look at taxonomy, and the conflict between professionals and amateurs when naming species. There are also commentaries by leading taxonomists on the future of their field, articles on Linnaeus's global network of contacts and even his lost and lamented pet raccoon, original research on the origin of flowering plants and a review on speciation - the first of several such articles to be published this year, which will be added to the web focus over time along with other coverage.

Carl Linnaeus introduced the systematic classification upon which all subsequent natural history has been built. In taking Zoo 101 in college, oh how I cursed his memory.
