About the journal
Aims and scope
Biological Invasions publishes research papers on the patterns and processes of biological invasions (both human-mediated introductions and natural range expansions) in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine (including brackish) ecosystems. Papers concerning: the ecological consequences of invasions relative to alterations in community-ecosystem structure (including energy flow, biodiversity, and invasion-mediated extinction), the factors that influence inoculation, establishment, and persistence of invasions, the mechanisms that control the abundance and distribution of invasive species, biogeography, genetics, dispersal vectors, and the evolutionary consequences of invasions in both historical and geological time are especially encouraged, as are analytical syntheses and overviews of invasive biotas. Also of interest are papers with theoretical bases on biocontrol and on the release of genetically modified organisms as they illuminate the science of biological invasions, as well as scholarly papers on management and policy issues as they relate to conservation programs and the global amelioration or control of invasions. The journal will consider proposals for special issues resulting from conferences or workshops on invasions.

Electronic figures
Electronic versions of your figures must be supplied. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal: line figures − 600 − 1200 dpi; photographs − 300 dpi; screen dumps − leave as is. Colour figures can be submitted in the RGB colour system. Font−related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier and Helvetica.
Colour figures
Springer offers two options for reproducing colour illustrations in your article. Please let us know what you prefer: 1) Free online colour. The colour figure will only appear in colour on www.springer.com and not in the printed version of the journal. 2) Online and printed colour. The colour figures will appear in colour on our website and in the printed version of the journal. The charges are EUR 950/USD 1150 per article.
Language
The journal憇 language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language is corrected before submission. This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language.
Manuscript Presentation
Please double−space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left−hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
Abstract
|
Please provide a short abstract of 100−−250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. | Key words
|
Please provide 5−10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order. | Abbreviations
|
Abbreviations and their explanations should be collected in a list. | Article Types
|
Regular PapersThese are full length papers describing original research. A concise presentation is encouraged; the paper should not ordinarily exceed 30 pages of double−spaced typed text (including abstracts, tables, figures and references). One double−spaced, typed page contains approximately 300−350 words. |
|
Perspectives and ParadigmsThis section provides a venue for conceptual, synthetic and novel papers beyond the prevue of normal research papers published in Biological Invasions. While there is no tacit length restriction for papers in this section, authors are urged to be concise. Typically, the Editor−in−Chief or Editorial Board members comission articles for this section. However, we are pleased to entertain proposal for articles from interested contributors. |
|
Invasion NotesInvasion Notes are brief communications documenting new species invasions, range expansions, taxonomic clarifications, and technical issues. In addition, brief conference summaries and the results and recommendations of invasion working groups are appropriate. |
|
Book ReviewsBiological Invasions publishes critical reviews of recently published volumes on all themes related to invasion biology. | Section headings
|
First−, second−, third−, and fourth−order headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered. | Appendices
|
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections. | Notes
|
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page. | Cross−referencing
|
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author憇 name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author憇 name should be mentioned, followed by 抏t al.? In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and inthe reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like 抋?and 抌?afterthe date to distinguish the works. |

All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a 'Figure' and they should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). Multi−part figures ought to be labelled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references. | Tables
|
Each table should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript. |
Proofs
