About the journal
|
Biological control is an environmentally sound and effective means of reducing or mitigating pests and pest effects through the use of natural enemies. The aim of Biological Control is to promote this science and technology through publication of original research articles and reviews of research and theory. The journal devotes a section to reports on biotechnologies dealing with the elucidation and use of genes or gene products for the enhancement of biological control agents.
The journal encompasses biological control of viral, microbial, nematode, insect, mite, weed, and vertebrate pests in agriculture, aquatic, forest, natural resource, stored product, and urban environments. Biological control of arthropod pests of human and domestic animals is also included. Ecological, molecular, and biotechnological approaches to the understanding of biological control are welcome.
This multidisciplinary journal covers:
Entomology-parasitoids, predators, and pathogens and their use through importation, augmentation, and/or habitat management strategies
Plant Pathology-antagonism, competition, cross-protection, hyperparasitism, hypovirulence, and soil suppressiveness through naturally occurring and introduced agents
Nematology-predators, parasitoids, and pathogens in biological control through augmentation and/or habitat management strategies and suppressive soils through naturally occurring and introduced agents
Weed Science-vertebrates, invertebrates, and pathogens and their use through classical, augmentative, or bioherbicidal tactics
The following sections are included:

Instructions to Authors
Biological Control
promotes the science and technology of biological control through publication of original research articles and reviews of research and theory. The focus includes new and emerging trends in this field. Biological control is defined as the reduction or mitigation of pests and pest effects through the use of natural enemies. Biotechnologies dealing with the elucidation and use of genes or gene products for the enhancement of biological control agents are also of interest.
The journal encompasses biological control of viral, microbial, nematode, insect, mite, weed, and vertebrate pests in agricultural, aquatic, forest, natural resource, stored products, and urban environments. Biological control of arthropod pests of human and domestic animals is also included. Ecological, molecular, and biotechnological approaches to advancing the understanding of biological control agents are welcome.
Subject areas of the journal include:
- Entomology--Parasitoids, predators, and pathogens and their use through importation, augmentation, and/or habitat management strategies
- Plant pathology--Antagonism, competition, cross-protection, hyperparasitism, hypovirulence, and soil suppressiveness through naturally occurring and introduced agents
- Nematology--Predators, parasites, and pathogens in biological control through augmentation and/or habitat management strategies and suppressive soils through naturally occurring and introduced agents
- Weeds--Vertebrates, invertebrates, and pathogens and their use through classical, augmentative, or bioherbicidal tactics
In addition, molecular technology that advances the understanding and use of biological control agents and a commentary on theory and special topics are featured. Letters to the editor may serve as an avenue for debate.
Submission of manuscripts.
Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise, and grammatically correct English and should be submitted in duplicate (one original and one photocopy), including two sets of original figures or good-quality glossy prints (photocopies are acceptable for charts and graphs included in the copy), to:

There are no submission fees or page charges except for color figures as noted under "Figures." Failure to supply the required number of copies of the manuscript may delay review.
Electronic transmission.
Authors are requested to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form, via either computer disk or FTP (ftp.elsevier.com, with username anon and password essd4acc), each time a new version is submitted. Hard-copy print outs of the manuscript and art that exactly match the electronic files must be supplied. The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and the proofs must be read carefully by the author.
Original papers only will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been published nor is presently under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out; further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation. Written authorization may be required at the discretion of the Editors. Articles and any other material published in Biological Control represent the opinions of the authors and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editors or the Publisher.
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright for the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher. The Copyright Transfer Agreement should be signed by the appropriate person(s).
Should questions of probity arise under extraordinary and controversial situations, the Editors will reserve the right to subject the authors' data to independent scientific evaluation.
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reprint previously published figures, tables, and other material.
Preparation of manuscript.
Prepare word-processed manuscripts double-spaced throughout, including abstract, key words, acknowledgments, references, and tables, on one side of 8.5 x 11-inch (21.6 x 28-cm) or A4 white paper. Lines should be numbered on the left margin. Number the pages consecutively. Page 1 should contain the article title, authors' names, and complete affiliations. Corresponding authors should be indicated with a footnote containing their e-mail address, fax number, and phone number. Page 2 should contain a short abstract and a list of keywords. The Abstract should be a summary of the study, the methods, and the results and their significance in a single paragraph of 250 words or less.
Keywords.
The list of key words following the abstract should reflect the contents of the paper accurately and help to describe it to scientific nonexpert readers. The taxonomic designations of all organisms discussed in the manuscript must be included. The names of enzymes, substrates, and other important compounds should appear in this list. The following is an example of the style to be employed: Bacillus thuringiensis; Plodia interpunctella; storage moth; biological control; endotoxin; bacterial epizootic.
Headings.
The organization of the paper must be clearly indicated by appropriate headings and subheadings. The text should be divided into Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. Results and Discussion may be combined. Acknowledgments, References, tables, and figures follow.
Style and terminology.
Authors are encouraged to deposit appropriately preserved and labeled voucher specimens in a permanent federal, state, or university collection. Consult the CBE Style Manual, 6th ed., Council of Biology Editors, Inc., for standard abbreviations, names, and symbols for units, as well as for informative suggestions about grammar, style, and usage. Nonstandard abbreviations should be minimal and should be defined at first mention. Follow "Webster's New International Dictionary," 3rd ed., Unabridged (1986) for spelling and division of words. Use numerals with standard units of measurement and for any number above nine.
For organisms, the complete taxonomic name including the authority must be given at first mention in the text. The names of insects will be in accordance with the Entomological Society of America. Wherever a common name for a pesticide exists, it should be used. The chemical name of the pesticide must be included in parentheses following the first mention of the common name. Most common names may be found in Guide to the Chemicals Used in Crop Protection by E. Y. Spencer, Agriculture Canada, 7th ed., 1982, and more recent entries are found in The Pesticide Manual-A World Compendium (C. R. Worthington, Ed.; S. B. Walker, Asst. Ed.), 8th ed., British Crop Protection Council, Binfield, Bracknell, Berks RG 125QE, England. In addition, common names of insecticides are listed from time to time by the Entomological Society of America; of herbicides, by the Weed Science Society of America; and of fungicides, by the American Phytopathological Society. For weed names, use the terminology approved by the Weed Science Society of America [Weed Sci. 32 (Suppl. 2), 1-137, 1984]. For enzymes, the systematic name and number given by the Enzyme Commission (EC) should be included at the first point of mention for each enzyme of importance in the paper. For EC numbers consult, Recommendations (1984) of the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry, 1984, Enzyme Nomenclature, Academic Press.
Figures.
Number figures with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type all legends consecutively on a separate sheet. Plan all figures to fit the proportions of the printed page (7 1/8 x 9 in.; 18.2 x 23 cm). All illustrations should be in finished form suitable for reproduction and no larger than 8.5 x 11 in. (21.6 x 28 cm). Identify all figures on the back lightly in soft pencil with the author(s) name(s) and figure number; indicate the TOP.
Lettering on drawings should be of professional quality or generated by high-resolution computer graphics and should be large enough (10-12 points) to take a reduction of 50 to 60%. Freehand, penciled, or typewritten lettering is not acceptable. Please visit our Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.
Illustrations in color can be accepted only if the authors defray the cost.
Tables
should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text and collected at the end of the manuscript. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive caption typed directly above the table and with any necessary footnotes (indicated by superscript lowercase letters) typed directly below the table. Authors may wish to submit complex tables as camera-ready copy. In this way, they are spared tedious proofreading and the chance of error is reduced. Tables submitted as camera-ready copy should be typed single-spaced whenever possible.
References.
Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such within the text.
It is the author's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of all references.
Cite references in the text by the author's surname and date of publication. The text citations can be given in the form 'As Federici (1981) showed ....' or "As already shown (Federici, 1981; Saleuddin and Wilbur, 1983)....' Where there are more than two authors, use the first author's surname followed by et al.: 'In Keating et al. (1989) it was ....' List references in alphabetical order and double-spaced type throughout. The names of journals should be abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index. Please note the following examples:
