Aims and Scope
Mammal Review covers all aspects of mammalian biology and ecology. The Editors particularly welcome hypothesis-driven analytical and systematic reviews of current theoretical and applied research on mammals, meta-analyses, practical assessments of techniques for studying mammals and large-scale considerations of the status, conservation and management of mammals. As well as reviews, short communications, in which original research or new methods are described, are published, if the topic is particularly novel and important. Authors are invited to consult the Editor-in-Chief about potential contributions; unsolicited papers are also welcome. The journal is the official scientific periodical of the Mammal Society.

Instructions to Authors
Mammal Review is intended for a wide international readership, and is used by both academics and practitioners in mammalian biology and conservation. Contributors should present their subject matter in simple, lucid and concise terms, and should bear in mind that English is not the first language of many readers. Both review papers and short communications should be hypothesis-driven or have clear aims. Reviews are necessarily variable in length, but should be concisely written. As a guideline, few reviews should be longer than 15000 words including references and tables. Short communications, in which new research or methods are described, should be strictly and without exception no more than 2500 words in total. All submissions should include a concise title, an Abstract, an Introduction including an explicit statement of aims or hypotheses to test, Methods, and References. Mammal Review operates double-blind peer review. Members of the Editorial Board, who are sometimes asked to review papers, are aware of the authors’ identity.
Authorship
To decide who should be included as an author, please follow the guidelines produced by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org/index.html#author), which state: “Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2, and 3.” Further guidelines are given by COPE (http://publicationethics.org/guidelines).
Conventions
Scientific names should be included, and italicised, if species are mentioned in the title and Abstract, as well as at the first mention in the remainder of the text (often in the Introduction). Authorities should not normally be given. Names of families, orders etc. are not italicised. Lower case typescript should be used for common names, which may be given and used throughout, given in parentheses, or omitted completely (so that scientific names are used throughout). For mammalian species’ scientific names, please follow Wilson and Reeder (Wilson DE, Reeder DM (eds; 2005) Mammal Species of the World. A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference, 3rd ed. Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, Maryland, USA, see http://www.bucknell.edu/MSW3/). Numbers should be spelt out up to nine; numbers above nine should be given as numerals. Units of measurement should be metric. For large numerals, use the form ‘106’ rather than ‘billion’ etc., to avoid confusion between American, British and continental European usage. Do not include footnotes. For spelling, refer to the Oxford English Dictionary (http://www.oed.com/); for grammar and style, follow British rather than American conventions (refer to the Complete Plain Words, by E. Gowers). Please give place names and other geographical names following the conventions of the Times World Atlas (http://www.timesatlas.com/).
Preparation of documents for online submission and double-blind peer review
Please prepare your documents in an editable format (i.e. not as PDF files; MS Word documents are preferred). To allow double-blind peer-review, it is important that manuscripts are prepared as two or more separate documents, as follows:
1. The title page, which should be the only document containing the authors' names and addresses.
2. The main document, which should not include the names and addresses of the authors. Please check all parts of your document and remove any reference to authors; if you used 'track changes' in MS Word, accept all changes. The main document should include the title, Abstract, key words, word count (of the entire main document, i.e. not including the title page), Introduction, Methods and other sections as appropriate, References, figure legends, and tables.
3, 4, 5, etc. The figures and any appendices.
The documents you submit, with the exception of the title page, will be combined into a single PDF document for the peer review process. You will be able to designate the order in which your files appear within this new document.
Title page
The title page, a separate document, should include the title and the names and addresses of all authors. The title should be concise and informative, and a running head of up to 50 characters should be given. The correspondence author should be identified clearly, and an E-mail address should be provided for each author. If the paper is accepted, the authors’ names will be published as they are presented here (i.e. with first names or initials, depending on each author’s preference).
Abstract
The first page of the main document should include the title, the Abstract, the key words, the running head and the word count (of the entire main document, i.e. not including the separate title page). The concise, informative Abstract, which must not exceed 300 words for reviews and 100 words for short communications, should be intelligible without reference to the main body of the paper. For reviews, but not for short communications, the Abstract should be formatted as numbered points. We suggest allocation of the numbered points as follows:
1. Introduction
2. Hypothesis or aims
3. Methods.
4, 5, 6…Main body of review, or Results and Discussion
Last. Synthesis, conclusions, or guidelines
Five key words or key phrases, which are used for online search facilities, should be given after the abstract in alphabetical order. Do not repeat words used in the title. The title, Abstract, key words, running head and word count are requested separately as part of the online submission process. Here, they should be provided exactly as in the submitted document.
Introduction
Provide brief background information, then state an explicit hypothesis or clear aims.
Methods
For reviews, the Methods should include information on how any searches for data were conducted, and the geographical, taxonomic, temporal or other limits to the review should be stated explicitly. For short communications, state the research methods used.
Results, Discussion, Conclusion
Flexibility is allowed in the headings and sub-headings used in reviews. For short communications, authors should include Results, Discussion and (if appropriate) Conclusion.
Acknowledgements
State very briefly, if appropriate, the source of funding for the study, compliance with the law or ethical guidelines, and (as a list) the names of people who have helped with the study. Do not thank peer reviewers or editors.
References
In the References section, all cited sources should be listed, ordered alphabetically by first author. For joint authors, '&' should be used only in parentheses in the text. For papers with three or more authors, the first name and ‘et al.’ should be used in the text; give all the authors in the References. Reference to papers in the text should be as “(Smith & Jones 2009)” or “Smith and Jones (2009) found that…” Where more than one reference by the same author(s) appeared in the same year, use '2009a, b' in both text and References. Multiple references in parentheses should be presented in chronological order and separated by commas, thus: (Tyler et al. 2001, Bloggs 2002). In the reference list, titles of periodicals should be given in full. Titles of papers and books cited must be given, together with volume number and full pagination for papers, and the publisher and place and country of publication for books. Books or papers without an author (i.e. a person responsible for writing the text) should be cited as “Anonymous”. Titles in languages not using Roman script may be given in translation or transliteration. Authors are asked to check their reference list against their text to ensure that all authors cited are included and that dates and spellings are consistent. Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the references quoted. Style should be as follows:

Figures
Illustrations, including maps and graphs, should be generated electronically, and submitted as separate documents. Further details are available on the publisher's website at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp. Authors pay the full cost of the reproduction of any colour figures in Mammal Review. Therefore, if colour figures or photographs are included in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, you must complete and upload a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. If you are considering using colour figures, please bear in mind that many readers obtain papers as PDF files, and may not have access to a colour printer. Any colour figures should therefore be designed to provide the intended information when printed in black-and-white, as well as when printed in colour. Labels and other text in figures should be in Arial or similar font.
Cover photo
The cover of each issue of Mammal Review features an image, supplied by the authors. If your paper is accepted for publication, you will be asked to supply an image for consideration as a cover image. All contributing first authors are asked to submit an image, and the Editors decide which images will be used for the cover. The Editors' decision is final, and by submitting an image, you are agreeing to allow the Mammal Society to use it for Society business and on the Mammal Society web site.
Submission
To submit a paper to Mammal Review, visit our online submission and peer review site at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mammal. Click on ‘Register here’ to create an account. Full instructions on how to submit are available online, and there is a 'Get Help Now' link at the top right of every page. If you cannot submit or review online, or have any problems, please contact the Managing Editor.
Exclusive Licence Form
Authors will be required to sign and upload an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) if their paper is accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication, but does not affect the ownership of copyright; authors retain the right to publish their paper in various media or circumstances (please see the form for further details).
Proofs
Manuscripts should be checked before submission to avoid extensive corrections to the proofs. Once accepted, papers will be prepared as ‘First Look’ proofs, and editorial changes made by the Managing Editor at this stage must be incorporated by the author. A page proof will then be sent to the correspondence author. The corrected proof must be returned directly to the Production Editor. If no response is received it will be assumed that the author had no comments or corrections. Revised page proofs are not normally sent to authors.
Early View publication
Mammal Review conducts Early View publication of complete, full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, and authors do not have to wait for the next scheduled print issue. To register to receive an e-mail alert when your Early View article is published, please go to Wiley author services at http://authorservices.wiley.com/default.asp. Early View articles have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. No changes can be made after online publication. Early View articles do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so they cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows them to be cited and tracked before allocation to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found at http://www.doi.org/about_the_doi.html.
OnlineOpen
OnlineOpen is a pay-to-publish system in which authors whose paper is accepted for publication can pay for it to become open access (i.e. free for all to view and download) via the Wiley Interscience website. This costs £1525 (equivalent to $3000), payable in advance of publication. Upon Early View publication, the article (both full-text and PDF versions) is available to view and download free of charge. The print version of the article is branded as OnlineOpen, which draws attention to the fact that the paper can be downloaded free via Wiley Interscience. Any authors wishing to make their paper OnlineOpen must complete the combined payment and copyright licence form available from: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/mam_oof.pdf. The completed form should be sent to the Production Editor at the time of acceptance or as soon as possible thereafter (preferably within 24 hours to avoid any delays in processing). Do not inform the Editors that you intend to publish your paper OnlineOpen before acceptance. The copyright statement for OnlineOpen authors will read:
