2009年10月24～26日，演化生物学的科学家们从世界各国和中国各地相聚北京，参加主题为“达尔文200·北京”的国际学术会议，共同纪念达尔文诞生200周年和他的巨著《物种起源》出版150周年。几十位学者就演化领域主要分支——古生物学、系统演化、扬种形成、群体遗传学、分子演化、发育演化、复杂性状遗传等方面的科学问题作，特邀报告。这此演讲包括对演化生物学历史的热情回顾，对新问题原创性的的科学探索，以及对演化研究意义的哲学思考，对达尔文留下的科学遗产做出了全面评价。本论文集收集了此次会议的思想成果．特别是大会特邀科学家们关于达尔文科学遗产的思考和讨论。22位作者根据他们的发言和思考写出了纪念文章；40多位大会演讲者留下了宝贵的发言摘要，这些文献记载了国际和国内演化领域的著名科学家对达尔文及其臣著的历史和今天科学意义的看法，以及他们在相关领域的研究成果，对现今演化生物学的科学研究具有指导作用。此外，本书也收集了部分会议期间所拍摄的相片，包括所有参加者讨沦发言时的，照片和合影，记载了纪念活动感人的真情实景。文集还收集了一些具有历史价值的文献照片，以期展示达尔文在中国的传播和历史影响，进而反映达尔文及其巨著经久不衰的影响。

插图：There is currently no single explanation tha tcan account for the GOBE （Servais et al. 2009）.Rather a coincidence of biological and geological factors combined to help drive and encourage the biodiversification. Irrespective of it scauses, the diversification changed the oceansforever and set a new agenda for marine life（Harper 2006; Liu and Zhan 2009）. The cascading increase in biodiversity at species, genus and family levels was apparent at global levels with the high provincialism of Early to Mid Ordovician faunas, at regional levels with the development of new community types, particularly in deeper water and in and around reefs and thirdly at local levels where more animals weresqueezed into existing communities. The oceans were no longer sterile expanses of water, beingfilled now by phy to and zooplankton, punctuated by blooms, and including larvae and animals such as the graptolites. Community structures were better organized and more denselypacked with the expansion of the number of socalled ecological guilds, signalling a range of new feeding strategies and life modes. Tieringstructures developed both above and within the substrates while the bioerosion and encrustation of hard surfaces offered a new range of ecological opportunities （Zhang et al. 2010）. The Paleozoic evolutionary fauna was relatively stable,surviving the end Ordovician and late Devonianextinctions for some 200 million years.
