Journal Conventions: Vernacular names should be in lower case and be accompanied by the scientific names in italics on first mention. The authority for the name should also be included. Foreign words and names of muscles etc. are italicized. SI units are preferred. Measurements should be given in figures, e.g. 10 cm, except when beginning a sentence. A number which is not a unit of measurement is spelled out unless it is greater than twenty.
Illustrations: Good quality drawings or glossy prints of figures should be provided. They should be unlabelled and any lettering shown on an overlay or on a photocopy. Computer-generated diagrams should be printed on good quality paper with a laser or high-quality inkjet printer using a minimum of 300 dpi. Photographs are acceptable if essential to the text. They should be original (i.e. not re-photographed), half-tone prints, unmounted with lettering indicated on overlays or photocopies. Magnification should be given where appropriate. Colour prints are acceptable only at the author's expense. A scale should be included on all maps and the direction of north indicated. Where possible, digital versions of your figures should be included on the disk submitted after acceptance. Ideally these should be sent in native format or PICT if created on a Mac, or in native format or WMF if created in Windows. Files saved as PS, EPS, GIF and TIF may also be used, but please note that it may not be possible to modify them. Avoid using tints if possible; if they are essential to the understanding of the figure, try to make them coarse as this aids their clear reproduction. For more details on submission of electronic artwork, plese see http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp
French translations of the abstracts are provided by Dr J.-P. d'Huart.

Extensive reference lists are to be avoided and only essential citations should be included. References should follow the Harvard system and should be indicated in the text by the name of the author(s) with year of publication e.g. 'Jones (1996) reported that...' or 'It has been shown (Jones, 1995; Smith & Brown, 1996)...'. Please note the punctuation. For papers by more than two authors, use et al. except in the case of a paper by three authors, when all names should be given when first mentioned and et al. used subsequently. Several papers by the same author(s) in the same year should be cited with a, b, c etc. after the date. References to theses or to unpublished reports should be avoided if possible but when essential they should be cited as if they were books. References should be listed, double spaced, in alphabetical order and in the form of the following examples. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the latest (4th) edition of the World List of Scientific Periodicals.
