Legal requirements
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before (except in the form of an abstract, or as part of a published lecture, or thesis); that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities - tacitly or explicitly - at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
The "Copyright Transfer Statement" has to be signed and faxed to the publisher together with the corrected proofs (see below) with which it will be provided by the publisher shortly after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
Manuscript preparation
|
All manuscripts are subject to peer review and copy editing.
|
|
|
Manuscripts must be written in English and should be typed double-spaced throughout (including acknowledgements, references, tables, and figure legends) with a margin of at least 3 cm on each side.
|
|
|
Use a normal, plain font (e.g., Times New Roman) for text.
|
|
|
Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
|
|
|
For indents use tab stops or other commands, not the space bar.
|
|
|
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention in the abstract and again in the main body of the text and used consistently thereafter.
|
|
|
Essential footnotes to the text should be numbered consecutively and placed at the bottom of the page to which they refer.
|
|
|
Generic and specific names should be written in italics, but authors of scientific names of the genus and species group should not be italicized; they are not to be abbreviated.
|
|
|
Nomenclature
Names for higher taxa should refer to monophyletic units, not to paraphyla (use, e.g., Teleostei or Plathelminthes but not designations such as Pisces or Turbellaria). International nomenclature conventions must be observed, especially the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (IRZN). At first mention, a specific name should be cited with nomenclatural author and year, e.g. Catenula lemmnae (in italics) Dug鑣, 1832. Authors unfamiliar with the taxonomy of the group to which a species belongs should consult an expert to ensure that it is properly identified and that the correct name is used.
|
|
Please arrange your manuscript as follows:
|
Title page
Including name(s) of author(s), a concise and informative title, affiliation(s) of the author(s), e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author.
|
|
|
Abstract
Each paper must be preceded by an abstract containing the most important results and conclusions in no more than 250 words.
|
|
|
Key words
Immediately following the abstract no more than five keywords should be given. They should preferably be taken from BIOSIS or be composed by analogy on the same principle.
|
|
|
The Introduction
should be brief and state the purpose of the work in relation to other work in the same field. It should not present an extensive review of the literature and contain the scientific question or testable hypothesis that led to the study.
|
|
|
The Materials and methods section
should provide enough information to permit repetition of the experimental work. This section will be set in small print.
|
|
|
The Results section
should present the findings of the research, supported by statistical or illustrative validation of the assertions. It should be free of discussion.
|
|
|
The Discussion section
should cover but not simply repeat the new findings presented in Results, setting these in context and interpreting them with a minimum of speculation. It should refer to the question/hypothesis mentioned in the Introduction.
|
|
|
References
Literature citations in the text should indicate the author's surname with the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. Carlin (1992); Brooks and Carlin (1992). If there are more than two authors, only the first should be named, followed by "et al."
References at the end of the paper should be listed in alphabetical order by the first author's name. If there is more than one work by the same author or team of authors in the same year, a, b, etc. is added to the year both in the text and in the list of references.
*Journal papers: name(s) and initial(s) of all authors; year; full title; journal title abbreviated in accordance with international practice; volume number; first and last page numbers
Example:
Gemballa S (2004) The musculoskeletal system of the caudal fin in basal Actinopterygii: heterocercy, diphycercy, homocercy. Zoomorphology 123: 15-30
If available, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the cited literature should be added at the end of the reference in question.
Example:
Van Wassenbergh S, Herrel A, Adriaens D, Aerts P (2003) Effects of jaw adductor hypertrophy on buccal expansions during feeding of air breathing catfishes (Teleostei, Clariidae). Zoomorphology DOI 10.1007/s00435-003-0090-3
*Single contributions in a book:
name(s) and initial(s) of all authors; year; title of article; editor(s); title of book; edition; volume number; publisher; place of publication; page numbers
Example:
Farquhar GD, Caemmerer S von (1982) Modelling of photosynthetic response to environmental conditions. In: Lange OL, Nobel PL, Osmon CB, Ziegler H (eds) Encyclopedia of plant physiology, NS. Physiological plant ecology II, vol 12 B. Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York, pp 550?87
*Book:
name and initial(s) of all authors; year; title; publisher; place of publication
Example:

Tables and figures
Tables must be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals and submitted separately from the text. They should have a title explaining any abbreviation used in that table.
Illustrations must be restricted to the minimum needed to clarify the text. All figures (photographs, graphs or diagrams) should be cited in the text, and numbered consecutively throughout. Figure parts should be identified by lower-case roman letters (a, b, etc.). If illustrations are supplied with uppercase labeling, lower-case letters will still be used in the figure legends and citations.
A scale bar with the length stated should be marked on each photomicrograph, etc., so that absolute sizes are clearly apparent and any reduction is automatically compensated for. On no account should magnifications be expressed by notes in the legends either of the lengths of the scale bar or of the magnification factors (e.g., x7,000; x80,000).
Figure legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations. The legends should be placed at the end of the text. Submit all figures as separate files and do not integrate them within the text.
|
Line drawings
Inscriptions should be legible, with initial capital letters and appropriately scaled to the size of the drawing (letters 2 mm high are recommended). Scanned line drawings should be digitized with a resolution of 800 dpi relative to the final figure size.
|
|
|
Computer drawings
Computer drawings are acceptable provided they are of comparable quality to line drawings (minimum resolution of 300 dpi). Computer-drawn curves and lines must be smooth. Lettering must be of high quality; Helvetica is the preferred font. Lettering fonts must be consistent within and among all figures.
|
|
|
Halftone illustrations (black and white and color)
Sharp, well-contrasted photographic prints trimmed at right angles and in the desired final size should be submitted. Inscriptions should be about 3 mm high. For scanned halftone illustrations, a resolution of 300 dpi is usually sufficient, TIFF is the preferred file format.
|
|
|
Color illustrations
Authors wishing to publish color illustrations should contact the Chief Editor. A few color pages are made available free of charge in each issue. For additional color pages the authors will be expected to make a contribution (485 � per paper, plus 16% VAT) towards the extra costs of color reproduction and printing. Save color illustrations as RGB (8 bits per channel) in TIFF format.
|
|
|
Plates
Several figures or figure parts should be grouped in a plate on one page. If figures are mounted on flexible white drawing paper, for technical reasons the paper should not exceed 0.4 mm in thickness and about 300 g/m2 in weight.
|
|
|
Vector graphics
Fonts used in the vector graphics must be included. Please do not draw with hairlines. The minimum line width is 0.2 mm (i.e., 0.567 pt) relative to the final size. EPS is the preferred file format. EPS files must always contain a preview in TIFF of the figure.
|
|
|
Size of figures
The figures, including legends, should either match the column width (86 mm) or the print area of 176 x 236 mm. In case reduction is absolutely necessary, please state the alternative scale desired. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge illustrations.
|
|
