The outskirts of clusters are dynamically complex regions populated by galaxies falling into the cluster potential for the first time as well as some which have already visited the cluster core. Addressing the properties of galaxies in these transition regions requires the integration of cluster dynamics, an understanding of environmental influences on galaxies at both high and low densities and hierarchical scenarios of cluster formation and growth. In this review I describe some recent observational results on galaxies in the outskirts of clusters, and the evolution of galaxies in clusters as a function of local density and radius.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
