About the journal
Development Genes and Evolution publishes high quality reports on all major aspects of devel-opment biology.
The journal is a continuation of “Roux’s Archives of Development Biology” and, as such, it follows the tradition initiated
by Wilhelm Roux, who founded the journal in 1890 as a forum for the exchange of ideas to promote experimental
embryology. Over the years, the journal has evolved in accordance with the evolution of the discipline.The change of name to
Development Genes and Evolution manifests the journal’s new, broader scope. The journal reports on experimental work
at the systemic, cellular and molecular levels in the field of animal and plant systems, covering aspects of the following topics:
– Developmental diversity and evolution
– Genes and pattern formation in
invertebrates, vertebrates and plants
– Axial patterning, embryonic induction
and fate maps
1. Manuscripts should be submitted to the editor whose field of interest is most closely related to the subject matter
dealt with in the manuscript. An editor may choose to forward the manuscript to another editor if he feels that it
is not within his area of expertise. Only papers written in
English will be considered for publication.
2. The categories of papers published include Full papers,Short communications, Expression notes and Technical
notes. Papers dealing mainly with sequence analysis and comparisons will be published under the category Sequence
corner. Suggestions for Reviews on topical questions in the field of development and evolution are welcome. Please
contact the reviews editor before submission. All papers may be accompanied by additional documentary material
that will be made available via the Springer file server af-ter the paper has been accepted. Full papers should pres-ent
substantial original work and should be structured as detailed below. Short communications should highlight
single experimental results and should be structured like full papers, but with a combined Results and discussion
section and a maximum of 15 references. The same orga-nization applies to contributions to the Sequence corner.
Expression notes should present a concise and short description of a new gene, or of a known homologous gene
in a new species that is relevant for understanding the evo-lution of developmental processes. They should not exceed
two printed pages in length, one of which should include the figure(s). An abstract of no more than 100 words should
be included; the text should not be divided into different sections; references should be kept to a minimum. If a new
gene is described, its DNA and amino acid sequence should be provided for the referees and, of applicable, an align-ment
with genes of similar sequence should also be pro-vided.Technical notes should present novel techniques, or substantial improvements of existing techniques, in exper-imental developmental biology that are of broad interest.They should be presented in the style of short communica-tions,but with an extended technical section to explain the new technique in sufficient detail.
3. Three copies of the manuscript are required and three sets of high-quality reproductions of the original figures
should be included. The originals of the figures should not be submitted until the manuscript has been accepted. The
manuscripts and the figures will not normally be returned,unless specifically requested by the authors. Manuscripts must be accompanied by the Copyright Transfer State-ment (the form is regularly published in this journal).
4. Full papers should normally not exceed ten printed pages; Short communications and Technical notes
should not exceed six printed pages in length (1000 words are approximately equivalent to one printed page).
The space required for the figures and tables should be calculated on the basis of their final printed size.
5. When first submitted, manuscripts need only conform loosely to the style specifications given in the following.
However, if the manuscript is accepted, the authors will be asked to follow the guidelines very carefully when pre-paring
the final revised version.
6. Manuscripts should be typewritten, double-spaced throughout (including acknowledgements, references,
tables and figure legends) and be on sheets of uniform size, no larger than DIN A4 (approx. 21 ×30 cm), with a
margin of at least 3 cm on each side.
7. The title page should contain:
– The names of the author(s)
– A concise and informative title (which may be changed
by the editors if considered inappropriate)
– The affiliations and addresses of the author(s)
– Telephone and fax numbers of the communicating author,
as well as an e-mail address, if available
– The total number of words (including references and
figure legends) as well as the expected printed length of
the paper (see point 4)
8. Abstract. Each paper must be preceded by an abstract of the most important results and conclusions in no more
than 250 words.
9. Key words. Immediately following the abstract no more than five key words should be given. They should prefer-ably
be taken from Index Medicus (Medical Subject Head-ings) or be composed by analogy on the same principle.
10. The Introduction should be brief and state the pur-pose of the work in relation to other work in the same field.
It should not present an extensive review of the literature.
11. The Materials and methods section should follow the Introduction and should provide enough information to
permit repetition of the experimental work. This section will be set in small print. In Expression notes short de-scriptions
of methods and materials should be included in the figure legend(s).
12. The Results should be presented concisely. Informa-tion given in the text should not be repeated in the tables orA6
figure legends. The Discussion should interpret the results and not repeat them. In short manuscripts it may often be
advantageous to combine Results and Discussion in one section. Note that the terms “homology” or “homologous”
should be used only in the context of a phylogenetic hypo-thesis,but not for describing sequence similarities.
13. The list of References should include only published work or work in press. For citing references in the text,
the author-year system should be used: (Lewis 1978; Nüss-lein-Volhard and Wieschaus 1980; Jürgens et al. 1984) or
“... the study of Preiss et al. (1985) showed...”.Works by two authors should be listed alphabetically according to
coauthor, then chronologically. All works by more than two authors should be listed chronologically. If there is
more than one publication by the same author(s) in the same year, a, b, c etc. should be added as necessary. Jour-nal
titles should be abbreviated in accordance with IndexMedicus.

Mutations affecting the pattern of the larval cuticle in
Drosophila melanogaster I. Ygotic loci on the second
chromosome. Roux’s Arch Dev Biol 193: 267–282

3rd edn. Academic Press, Orlando
Permission to communicate unpublished results. Un-published
results may be cited in the text as personal com-munications.
However, in this case the final version of the
manuscript must be accompanied by a note of consent
signed by each author quoted.
14. Tables should be typed on separate pages. All tables should be mentioned in the text and be numbered conse-cutively
with arabic numerals. The head of each table should provide a brief, self-sufficient explanation of its contents.Units in which the results are expressed should appear at the top of each column. Tables should be clearly structured.
15. Figure legends should be typed in sequence at the end of the manuscript, starting on a new page. Legends should
be brief and descriptive and should not repeat passages from the text.
16. The number and size of figures should be kept to a min-imum.All figures should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively with arabic numerals. Figures showing only DNA and/or protein sequences will not be published. However, if they are not yet available via thedata bases (see point 19), they must be provided for the referees. Figures providing sequence alignments with other genes should be made for amino acids only, using the single letter code. They should be concise and may not fill
more than one printed page. Matching characters should be highlighted or marked, but the use of colour should be avoided. Only high-quality working copies of the figures should be included when a manuscript is initially submit-ted.
These copies should be firmly mounted on sheets of paper of the same size as the remainder of the manuscript and should be appended to the manuscript. Original fig-ures should not be submitted until the paper has been ac-cepted.
Figures in their final size should either match the column width (86 mm) or that of the print area (176 mm).
Overlays should not be used when labelling figures. In-stead,Helvetica type press-on symbols should be used,
such that after reduction the size is approximately 14 pt.Figure parts should be distinguished by bold lower-case
letters (a, b, c, etc.). Colour illustrations will be accepted if recommended by the reviewers and at the editor’s discre-tion
(note that colour illustrations may also be published as supplementary material; see point 20). No charge will be
made to the author if the figures are provided in elec-tronic form (TIFF files 300–1200 dpi). Otherwise,
authors will be expected to make a contribution ( � 485 per article) towards the extra costs. However, within a certain
limit, editors can waive these charges. Authors will be informed of the relevant decisions once the manuscript has
been forwarded to the publisher.
17. Colour pictures may also be submitted as suggestions
for cover illustrations.
18. Electronic files. Once a manuscript has been accepted,the authors should provide electronic files of the text and
of the figures if possible. Detailed instructions will be giv-en upon acceptance.
19. DNA sequences must be submitted to Genbank or EBI and accession numbers must be provided when the paper is
accepted.
20. Electronic Supplementary Material. Data such as black and white or colour illustrations, large tables, animati-ons,
video clips, or sound recordings that are not essential for the understanding of a printed article but yet of interest can
be put on Springer-Verlag’s server and will be accessible free of charge on the contents site of this journal. Such material
has to be submitted in electronic form and will also be revie-wed.For further information, visit the World Wide Web:
http://link.springer.de/cgi/esupp.pl. Reference to this materi-al will be given with the printed article.
21. Fifty offprints of each contribution are supplied free of charge. If you wish to order additional offprints you must
return the order form with the corrected proofs. You are entitled to receive a pdf file of your article for your own personal use.
