Original manuscripts providing information of direct interest and benefit to California researchers and managers are welcome. The journal accepts the following types of contributions: 1.   Articles include reports of studies of broad scope, critical reviews, and in-depth essays (perspective articles) on subjects of concern to the professional and layperson. 2.   Notes are short papers of limited scope that present new knowledge worthy of immediate publication. 3.   Comments are opinions on topics already published in the journal; responses from the original authors will be invited. If the journal's contents are reproduced elsewhere, the authors and California Fish and Game should be acknowledged. THE MANUSCRIPT Submit 4 copies (retain the original) of manuscripts directly to the Editors-in-Chief at the address on the inside, front cover of the journal, accompanied by a cover letter that 1) states the category (article, note, or comment) intended for the paper; 2) describes other manuscripts or published material that contain the same or similar information; 3) lists colleagues who have seen the draft manuscript; 4) lists potential referees; 5) specifically accepts page charges (US$40.00 per page); and 6) contains the phone, FAX, and e-mail numbers of the corresponding author. Manuscripts should be printed letter-quality on standard white bond paper. Draft figures and illustrations are acceptable for the initial review process. Double-space all material, including the abstract, text, quotations, figure captions, tables, and literature cited. Provide ample margins, at least 2.5 cm on all sides. Number pages, including tables and literature cited. Type each table on a separate sheet. Each section must immediately follow the previous section; do not start on a new page. Include an initial statement in the introduction explaining the purpose or objective(s) of the work. Articles must be introduced by a concise, single-paragraph abstract. Notes do not include an abstract. Very long articles should also have a concise summary, understandable without reference to the text. Avoid the passive voice, lengthy tables or appendices, repetition, and long lists of title interest except to the author. Personal pronouns may be used when they do not create strained phrasing. Punctuate and proofread carefully. Check all formulas and equations for accuracy. Assure consistency between “Literature Cited?and citations in the text. Inattention to detail aggravates editors and affects referees' opinions of the manuscript. The journal follows the CBE Style Manual (Sixth Edition) in most matters, but use these instructions and a recent issue of California Fish and Game as definitive guides in the correct preparation of manuscripts. UNITS OF MEASUREMENT The metric system is used exclusively in California Fish and Game because of its worldwide acceptance. The modernized metric system, “Systeme International d'Unites?(SI), is the preferred system. This system provides unambiguous symbols, standard in all languages, for units of measurement. The CBE Style Manual contains a discussion of the SI, as well as conversion factors from common English measurements to metric. TABLES AND FIGURES Tables and figures are numbered consecutively beginning with ?? Refer to tables and figures by number in the manuscript. Do not say “as shown in the following table,?because the table in question may not immediately follow that statement in final placement. Make complete statements of fact in the text. Use figures and tables only as supporting references. For instance, avoid statements like “Table I shows the estimated rate of exploitation and expectation of deaths from natural causes.?Rather, state: “Estimated exploitation rate and expectation of death from natural causes were 50% higher in 1962 than in any of the next 6 years (Table 1).?In this way the reader is never forced to search out Table I to understand the text. Tables Think carefully about table layout; most tables can be formatted to fit the standard page width of the journal (119 mm). Deviate from this (portrait) format to landscape format only as a last resort. Table headings should contain sufficient information for tables to stand alone without reference to the text. Capitalization in table headings should follow the same format as other text, as illustrated in example Table 1. In column headings and row labels, capitalize first letter of initial word only, as in “Age at maturity.?Underline column headings, but do not include any other horizontal or vertical rules in tables. Horizontal rules, as shown in example Table 1, will be inserted by the editors. Use tabs (1 tab between column headings and column entries), not the space bar, to space between columns. No other spacing should be included between columns. Figures Figure captions should contain sufficient information for figures to stand alone without reference to the text. Type all figure captions consecutively, double-spaced, on a separate page following the Literature Cited section at the end of the manuscript. Do not attach captions to figures. Identify figures on the back with last name of author(s) in the upper left-hand comer and the figure number in the upper right-hand corner. Submit figures that can be satisfactorily reduced to the format of the journal. Reductions should not exceed 50%. Take care that lines and lettering are large enough to be legible when reduced to the size of the journal page. Consider proportions of figures in relation to the page size of California Fish and Game. The usable printed page size is 119 by 187 mm. This must be considered in planning a figure, since the figure with its caption cannot exceed these limits. To the extent possible, figures should be sized and oriented so that they occupy only part of a page of the journal. Maps are only necessary when they show detail, such as sampling sites, not available in a standard atlas. Maps should show the scale in kilometers and compass direction. Latitude and longitude on the appropriate borders are often desirable. An inset location map is generally useful. Illustrations drawn to scale should be so indicated in the figure caption. Photographs Digital photographs need to be submitted at a resolution of 300 dpi in TIFF(PC) format. Submit prints (black and white only) on glossy paper. Remember that the printed halftone will not be as clear as the photograph. A fuzzy photo cannot yield anything but a muddy printed product. As for figures, consider the shape of the print. Crop items that distract from the central object such as out-of-focus foreground and overbalancing areas of sky. Pack photographs carefully before mailing and provide backing. Cracks on prints will show in the halftone. Do not put paper clips on photographs. Never write on the back of photographs or figures with any object harder than a soft tip pen or china marking pencil. Captions for photographs should include the name of the photographer and, if appropriate, the month and year in which the photo was taken. Use “Photograph by author?if that is the case. TITLES AND SUBTITLES Follow this pattern in setting up titles and subtitles: TITLE IN CAPS AUTHOR IN CAPS Organization in Initial Caps Complete Mailing Address in Initial Caps MAJOR SUBHEAD ?CENTER CAPS Next Subhead ?Center, Initial Caps Only Third Subhead ?Left Margin Italicized, Initial Caps Only Fourth subhead italicized ?Indented as a paragraph with the text following like this sentence. FOOTNOTES Double-space footnotes in numeric order after “Literature Cited.? A footnote with the author's name is used to reflect the present address of the author if different from the address while doing the work (e.g., 1Current address:). Use of footnotes should be minimized. Their most common use is for citation of nonprimary (gray) literature not appropriate for inclusion in “Literature Cited.?If used, they should be denoted by superscript numbers, numbered consecutively (1, 2, ...) throughout the manuscript, and placed on a separate page after “Literature Cited?and before any figure captions. Footnotes in tables should be consecutive lowercase letters (a, b, ...) and the sequence begins again in each table. Table footnotes should be placed below the body of the table. MEASUREMENTS Use Arabic numerals in preference to words when numbers are counts or measurements, as ? quail?or ? mm.?Treat ordinal numbers in the same manner (3rd, 33rd). Never begin a sentence with an Arabic numeral (spell out the number) or use numerals for 2 consecutive numbers (e.g., “two 3-liter flasks,?not ? 3-liter flasks?. Show temperatures in degrees Celsius with the abbreviation 'C. Give latitude and longitude in the form: 33?1'30"N, 118?9'05"W. Dates are expressed as: 23 January 1998. Use the 24-hour system for time of day: 1100 hours. ABBREVIATIONS Abbreviations should be used sparingly. The following abbreviations are used in California Fish and Game without definition: alternating current AC centimeter cm confidence interval CI degree (angular measure of degree Celsius) P degrees of freedom df direct current DC east E gram(s) g hectare ha kilogram(s) kg kilometer(s) km lethal concentration, 50% LC50 lethal dose, median LD50 logarithm (base 10) log, log10 logarithm (base e) ln, loge meter(s) m microgram µg micron(s) (10-3 mm) µm milligram(s) mg milliliter(s) ml millimeter(s) mm north N parts per billion ppb parts per million ppm parts per thousand P percent (parts per hundred) % probability P second(s) (angular measure) " south S species (taxonomy only, singular sp. species (plural) spp. standard deviation SD standard error SE volt V west W CAPITALIZATION Do not capitalize common names of organisms. Capitalize bay, city, county, river, street, and similar words only when they form part of a name: Humboldt Bay, Shasta County, City of Stockton; but Humboldt and Shasta counties or American and Sacramento rivers. Do not capitalize northern and southern in the expressions northern California and southern California. Capitalize the word State when it stands alone and refers to California. Capitalize Department in referring to the Department of Fish and Game. STATISTICAL RESULTS Results of statistical tests should be presented in fall in the text. This includes the value of the test statistic (e.g., F =, t =, x2 =), degrees of freedom (df =), and probability of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis (P =). Place the test results in parentheses following the statement of the statistical conclusion, using correct internal punctuation (e.g., F = 5.61; df = 1, 9; P = 0.02). Probability can be expressed as an exact value or as greater than (>) or less than (<) a critical value, but the same convention should be used throughout the manuscript. If multiple statistical tests were conducted and all yielded the same (significant or nonsignificant) results, each test statistic need not be presented. Instead, provide the name of the test and the relation of the resultant probabilities to the critical value (e.g., ANOVA, all P <0.05). In tables, if probabilities are not presented in a separate column, indicate significance of tabular values with asterisks and define the values for these symbols in the figure caption (e.g., * P <0.05, ** P <0.01). PREPARATION OF COPY Wide availability of word processing software allows production of copy with boldface, italics, small caps, etc. Use typesetting conventions (e.g., 1 underline for italics) only if appropriate word processing software is not available. Scientific names are always italicized. Italicize only the generic name when unknown or multiple species are denoted, as Sebastes sp. or Sebastes spp. Scientific names should be set off with commas, as “mosquito fish, Gambusia affinis, in Golden Pond.? Spell out fish length designations, followed by abbreviations in parentheses (FL, SL, or TL), the first time you use them. Thereafter, use abbreviations only. Better yet, describe the measurement technique in the Methods section and eliminate the subsequent need for length designations. Capitalize and italicize names of vessels: LONGFIN, DAVID STARR JORDAN. In the text, italicize names of books, journals, and similar literary works. Do not italicize citations in the Literature Cited section. Be especially careful with hyphens. Most authors tend to hyphenate many words which should be written unhyphenated. Note particularly that commonly used prefixes and suffixes (such as inter, like, mid, non, over, post, pre, semi, sub, under) usually are not hyphenated. Compound modifiers normally are hyphenated (e.g., 25-mm specimen, deep-water fishes), unless the first word of the compound expression is an adverb. Use parentheses and Arabic numerals to label enumerations included in a sentence or paragraph, as “The primary objectives of this study were to determine 1) food habits, 2) effects of hunting, and 3) extent of depredations on agricultural crops of wintering mallards. COMMON AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES The scientific name of a species should be introduced the first time the common name is used in the abstract and in the text. Thereafter, use the common name in text, tables, and figures unless no recognized common name exists. If a great many species are under consideration, it is permissible to use common names in the text and to list common and scientific names in an appendix or table. Do not include a scientific name in the title unless no common name exists or the manuscript deals primarily with systematics or a range extension of a species that is rare in California. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Acknowledgments generally should be in the order of assistance rendered or alphabetized within an organization if more than 1 individual gave the same help. Grants-in-aid and other funding sources should be included in this section. Use only initials of given names, but spell out the entire names of organizations, unless an abbreviation has been defined earlier in the text. LITERATURE CITED List citations, double-spaced, in alphabetical order at the end of the manuscript. Your list must be headed “LITERATURE CITED.?All entries must be cited in the text. Avoid extensive references to nonprimary (gray) literature, such as unpublished agency reports, M.S. theses, Ph.D dissertations, and technical reports with limited distribution. Reports with limited or no peer review fall into the gray literature category. Gray literature cited in the text should not be included in “Literature Cited? instead, it should appear on a separate page following “Literature Cited?and should follow the same format as primary literature citations (see “Footnote?section). Check all citations carefully against the original publications, especially titles and dates. Refer to them in the text using the name-and-year system. Where there are 3 or more authors, use “et al.?for the junior authors in the text, as: “Turner et al. (1969),?but list all authors in “Literature Cited.? Multiple references cited in the text should be in chronological order, as ?Lea 1975, Herrgesell 1984, Hashagen 1985).?A gray literature citation should have the superscript footnote number following the author's name, as: “Zielinskil (1992).?Citations for direct quotations in the text should include the page number from which the quotation was drawn, as ?Moyle 1976:144).? Write out the names of periodicals completely (e.g. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, California Fish and Game, Wildlife Monographs). Include the periodical issue number only if page numbers are not consecutive from issue to issue. Omit the number of pages in books, bulletins, and symposia proceedings if the entire publication is cited. Spell out the names of cities and states (or other appropriate governmental or geographic unit) where publishers are headquartered and include the country (e.g., USA, Ireland).

Southwestern Naturalist 25:272-275. These general rules apply: 1.       Only proper nouns are capitalized. 2.       Initials are substituted for given names. 3.       The words “vol.?and “no.? or their equivalents in foreign languages, are not used in citing journals and periodicals. 4.       Unpublished papers are not cited in “Literature Cited? If they must be used, they may be footnoted. Papers “in press?can be cited if they are being published in the peer-reviewed, primary literature; if in the gray literature, they should be footnoted. 5.       Personal communications are not cited in “Literature Cited? they are cited in the text as- ?A.J. Cordone, California Department of Fish and Game, personal communication).?Subsequent citations would be as follows: ?A.J. Cordone, personal communication).?/P> MANUSCRIPT PROCESSING Upon receipt by the Editors-in-Chief, a manuscript will be acknowledged and forwarded to the appropriate associate editor, who will then have the manuscript reviewed by at least 2 referees. When reviews are complete, the associate editor will send the reviewed manuscript, with a recommendation for acceptance or rejection back to the Editors-in-Chief. The Editors-in-Chief will forward referees' comments and an acceptance or rejection notice to the author with further instructions. Manuscripts are generally published in the order accepted by the Editors-in- Chief, within space limitations of the journal. FINAL FORM OF MANUSCRIPT An electronic copy of the final, accepted manuscript is required before publication. This diskette copy should be in PC (not MAC) word-processor or text format. Tables, figure captions, and footnotes can be included in the same document as the text, or in separate documents. If they are included in the same document, tables should each be on a separate page; figure captions can all be included on 1 page, as can footnotes. As noted earlier, it is imperative that spaces between columns in tables be created with tabs, not the spacebar, with only 1 tab between columns. Do not include horizontal or vertical lines in tables; however, column headings should be underlined. We request diskette copies of figures also. While all the following formats are acceptable, the first one is preferred: TIF, EPS, GIF, BMP, and JPG. If the figures were not produced using computer graphics, or if conversion of graphics files to our desktop publishing software is unsuccessful, original, high-quality, scannable line drawings will be required. GALLEY PROOF The author has the ultimate responsibility for the content of the paper. Check the galley proof carefully. Clearly indicate corrections on the proof and return it to the Editors-in-Chief within 7 days of receipt. Major revisions are not normally necessary in proof. Do not add or rewrite portions of your paper at this stage unless serious misstatements or misinterpretations will result. However, sometimes the Editors will allow a manuscript to proceed to the galley-proof stage while some questions or revisions remain in order to facilitate timely publication.
