About the journal
|
MOLECULAR AND DEVELOPMENTAL EVOLUTION (MDE) welcomes papers that contribute to a causal understanding of the evolution of development and how development influences patterns of molecular and phenotypic evolution. Papers that take diverse disciplinary approaches, including developmental, molecular, genetic, evolutionary, systematic, ecological, and paleontological, will be published. MDE seeks research articles without page restriction or charges, review articles, invited commentaries, and book reviews. The Editor-in-Chief has discretion over the use of a number of free color plates. Only color illustrations that highlight the text and convey essential scientific information will be considered for reproduction free of charge, subject to the recommendations of the reviewers and Associate Editors. |

Each reference in the text must appear in the literature list, and each reference in the literature list must be cited in the text. References in the text to the literature should be cited by author's name followed by year of publication:
. . . studies by Tucker ('91) reveal . . .
. . . studies by Desvages and Pieau ('91) reveal . . .
. . . studies by Hara et al. ('92) reveal . . .
. . . an earlier report (Tucker, '91) . . .
. . . earlier reports (Desvages and Pieau, '91; Hara et al., '92) . . .
References should be listed in chronoligical order when more than one is cited:..."ealier reports (Bunt et al, '80; Briggs and Porter, '85, Laemle, '90) suggested that..."
When references are made to more than one paper by the same author, published in the same year, they are to be designated in the text as (Tucker, '91a,b) and in the literature list as follows:
Tucker RP. 1991a. The sequential expression of tenascin mRNA in epithelium and mesenchyme during feather morphogenesis. Roux's Arch Dev Biol 200:108-112.
Tucker RP. 1991b. The distribution of tenascin and its transcript in the developing avian central nervous system. J Exp Zool 259:78-91.
Literature Cited is to be arranged alphabetically by authors in the following style:
Author's name (or names), year of publication, complete title, volume and inclusive pages, as follows:
Desvages G and Pieau C. 1991. Steroid metabolism in gonads of turtle embryos as a function of the incubation temperature of eggs. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 39:203-213.
Hara K, Fujiwara S, Kawamura K. 1992. Retinoic acid can induce a secondary axis in developing buds of colonial ascidian, Polyandrocarpa misakiensis. Dev Growth Differ 34:437-445.

Vetter RD, Powell MA, Somero GN. 1991. Metazoan adaptations to hydrogen sulphide. In: Bryant C, editor. Metazoan Life Without Oxygen. London: Chapman and Hall. p 109-128.
Abbreviations of journal titles should follow those used in Index Medicus.
A paper that is "In Preparation" or "Submitted" is not considered a legitimate reference and will not be included in the Literature Cited section. (Such work can be cited in the text as a Personal Communication.)
Beginning with 1901, and thereafter, references in the text to the literature are made by an abbreviated date of publication after author's name:
('01), ('04), ('94) not (1901), (1904), (1994). Reference in the text to papers published before 1901 should not be abbreviated: (1784), (1889), (1900)
Never abbreviate the year in the list of Literature Cited.
Footnotes. Number footnotes to the text consecutively with corresponding reference numbers clearly indicated in the text. Additional references to the identical footnotes are to be numbered with the next following consecutive number; for example:
2 Material used for this experiment secured through the courtesy of . . .
3 See footnote 1, page . . .
Footnotes to a table should be typed directly beneath the table and lettered 1,2,3 etc. They should not be numbered in sequence with the footnotes in the text. Asterisks are used for P values.
Tables. All tables must be numbered and cited consecutively in the tect, and they should have titles that are complete but brief. Since tabular matter is expensive to reproduce it should be simple and uncomplicated, with as few vertical and horizontal rules as possible and no vertical rules. The text should indicate where the tables are to appear in the text. Tables should be numbered with arabic, not Roman, numerals. Information other than that defining the data should be presented as table footnotes.
Legends. All figures (including charts and graphs) must be numbered and cited consecutively in the text. Figure legends are to be numbered consecutively, as follows:
Fig. 1 . .
Fig. 2 . .
Fig. 3 . .
Reference to relevant text passages can often reduce the length of legends and avoid redundancy. Figures may extend across two or more pages, but each figure requires a separate legend, except for a plate of figures that can be described in a single legend.
Abbreviations. Abbreviations pertaining to the labeling of figures should be listed once alphabetically and placed before the first figure containing these abbreviations:
cyt |
cytotrophoblast |
end |
endothelium |
ery |
erythrocyte |
meg |
megakaryoblast |
General Manuscript Instructions. The manuscript should be typed double-spaced throughout on one side of bond or heavy-bodied paper, 8? x 11" (22 x 28 cm) with a 1" (2.5 cm) margin on all sides. Submitters can indicate preference of division for the review and publication of their work.
Number all pages of the manuscript consecutively.
Submit the original and three copies of the entire manuscript, including the illustrations. The Journal strongly encourages authors to deliver the final, revised version of their accepted manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on disk. For more detailed information, please see the Disk Submission Instructions that follow this Guide for Authors.
Do not divide words at the end of a line, for if they are unfamiliar to the printer they may be incorrectly hyphenated. Manuscripts should not be right-hand justified.
Corrections to the manuscript should be either typed or printed legibly in ink.
Do not begin sentences with abbreviations or Arabic numerals.
The word "Figure" is not abbreviated in the text except when appearing in parentheses: Figure 2 (Figs. 4-6)
Spell nontechnical terms according to the current Webster's International Dictionary.
Always spell out numbers when they stand as the first word in a sentence; do not follow such numbers with abbreviations. Numbers indicating time, weight, and measurements are to be in arabic numerals when followed by abbreviations (e.g., 2 mm; 1 sec; 3 ml). Numbers applicable to the same category should be treated alike throughout a paragraph (e.g., 2 male rates and 4 female rates). In general, the numbers one to ten should be written in the text. All higher numbers should be given in arabic numerals.
Dates should be written as follows:
October 11, 1994 –or?11th of October
Label any Greek letters in your manuscript which could be confused with English alphabet characters. For example, ?is easily confused with u.
The sections on Materials and Methods should include a clear description of the method of killing of any animals that may be used. Research involving vertebrate animals must have been approved by the author's institution's animal care and use committee and should conform to NIH guidelines. A statement to this effect must be included in the Materials and Methods section.
The manuscript should be accompanied by a statement by the submitting author certifying that all the authors have read the paper and have agreed to having their names listed as authos. A similar statement should be appended for the names of colleagues who are acknowledged in footnotes as having contributed to or criticized the paper.
Either American or British spelling is acceptable so long as one usage is maintained thoughout the paper.
Metric system. Express all measurements (weight, etc.) according to the metric system. Temperatures should always be expressed in degrees Celsius (centigrade). Metric abbreviations, as listed below, should be lowercase without periods.

Illustrations
General Instructions. Original illustrations, and three sets of high quality photographic copies for review purposes (not photocopies), should be submitted with the manuscript.
If original drawings are larger than 11" ?16" (28 x 40 cm), photographic prints should be submitted.
Review copies of photomicrographs must be or high photographic quality and should be approximately 8½ ?11". Photocopies or low-quality laser prints are not acceptable for review purposes.
Our reproduction process is unable to accomodate illustrations larger than 11" x 16" (28 x 40 cm). Original artwork larger than this size must be cut by the authors into smaller segments that can be reassembled photographically.
Because copies of the papers must be mailed to reviewers and editors in other cites and coutnries, it is necessary to restrict the size of illustrations to reasonable dimensions for mailing. Oversized pictures are easily damaged by the postal services. It is best to keep the size of illustrations within the dimensions of the journal itself (8 1/4" x 11" or 21 x 28cm); under no circumstances should dimensions exceed 11" x 16" or 28 x 40cm.
In general, to achieve greatest fidelity and rendition of detail, it is preferable that the printer work directly from original photographic prints, drawings, or digital files. Sharp-contrast photocopies of line drawings are acceptable for review purposes, however photographic quality copies must be provided for reviewers to assess adequately the quality of all photomicrographs. All illustrations must be submitted in complete and finished form, with adequate labelling.
Digitally processed or retouched photographs. The method of figure preparation (i.e., computer software) and degree of alteration should be indicated either in the figure legend or in the Methods sections.
Black-and-white prints. Prints should be on white, nonmatte paper. To achieve optimum half-tone quality, photographic prints submitted for reproduction must be of adequate contrast, and when more than one print is included in a single figure, they should be of uniform tone.
Color illustrations. Authors are encouraged to submit color illustrations. Color reproduction costs $950 for the first page and $500 for each subsequent page up to a total of four. Once a paper has been accepted, the author will have the opportunity to approve both costs and proofs prior to printing.
Color prints and/or transparencies are acceptable for reproduction. However, in the latter instance, the frame of the transparency should be marked to indicate the area that can safely be cropped to arrive at the critical image area that is to appear in the final printing. Do not use silk finish or matte papers for color prints. Affix color plates to flexible surfaces (see mounting instructions).
Reduction to printed size. Indicate clearly on each illustration the reduction desired bearing the following in mind:
- Illustrations cannot be reduced to less than 20% of their submitted size.
- Submitted line drawings cannot exceed the dimension of 30" (75 cm) x 40" (100 cm).
- Lettering and labels must be readable after reduction. When reduced, the minimum height of a capital letter should not be less than 2.5 mm for a photomicrograph and 2 mm for a graph or chart; the maximum is 6 mm and 3 mm, respectively.
- When printed, an individual figure or group of figures should not exceed the dimensions of 6 3/16" (15.5 cm) wide by 9" (19 cm) long or 3 5/16" (6.5 cm) wide by 9" (19 cm) long in the case of a single column placement.
- Excessively large figures are difficult to handle, ship, and store; submitted illustrations cannot exceed 11" x 16" (28 x 40 cm).
- As far as possible the publisher will adhere to the author's suggested reduction. However, there may be instances where discretionary adjustments must be made.
Line drawings. Figures should be drawn with black ink on medium-weight white paper or lightweight art board. A photoprint can be submitted in lieu of the original. The artwork should be sharp and black to achieve maximum contrast.
Use "stippling" and "hatching" techniques to achieve tonal quality. Avoid the use of "shading" (pencil, wash, or airbrush) for tonal effect unless the drawing is to be reproduced as a halftone with its attendant gray tint background. When preparing graphs use only blue-ruled paper since colors other than blue will be reproduced.
Mounting figures. Photomicrographs and illustrations, including electronically generated ones, should be presented as follows:
- Figures should be trimmed on all sides and "squared."
- Black-and-white photomicrographs or drawings can either be printed on 8 1/2" x 11" paper, or, if they are small or part of a plate of figures, mounted on Bristol board of no more than 2 mm thickness with at least a 1" (2.5 cm) margin surrounding the figure or grouping of figures.
- Color figures should be printed of 8 1/2" x 11" paper or mounted on a thin, flexible sheet, with the margins indicated above.
- Mulitpart or small figures should be attached to the Bristol board using appropriate "dry mounting" materials, or a cement or glue, which when set, is white or colorless.
- When assembling two or more figures, they should be mounted close together, separated by approximately 1 mm of open space.
- Figures grouped to form a plate should be of similar density and highlighting; otherwise, loss of fidelity is inevitable, especially in respect to minute detail.
Lettering and labels.
- Illustrations should be lettered and numbered with printed, paste-on or transfer labels.
- Labels should be large enough to allow for suitable reduction and sturdy enough to withstand mailing and handling in the production process.
- For protection, it is recommended that the labeling be sprayed with an appropriate clear adhesive to prevent it from becoming scratched, adhering to adjoining material, or being torn off. Labeling of illustrations should be done directly on the drawing or photographic print. Under no circumstance should labeling be done on an overlay.
- All labeling should be placed at least 1/8" (3 mm) in from the edges of the illustration.
- Consideration must be given to achieving greatest contrast between the label or letter and its background, placing white labeling over dark backgrounds and black labeling over light backgrounds.
Numbering. Figures, including charts and graphs, are to be numbered consecutively. Plates of photomicrographs are preferably labeled as a single figure with panels labeled as A,B,C,D, etc. (lower or uppercase).
Revise
The Journal of Experimental Zoology offers a service for contributors whose native language is not English. Contributors who are not at ease with the English language sometimes find it difficult to prepare acceptable manuscripts. Our service called Revise is intended to help authors in such instances. Revise works in the following way. Authors wishing to avail themselves of this service will so indicate when they submit manuscripts. A Revise manuscript accepted for publication on scientific merit will then be judged on the basis of its English grammar and composition. If a manuscript requires Revise editing, the manuscript will be sent to a professional English language editor. Type should be double-spaced and no less than 14 points in size. Corrected manuscripts will be returned to authors to assure that revisions have not altered the original scientific intent of the manuscript.
We believe this service is advantageous in a number of ways. Namely, it helps authors to prepare superior text, it frees the reviewers from this task so they can confine themselves to a consideration of the scientific content of manuscripts, and finally it shortens the publication time of articles requiring grammatical revision.
Miscellaneous
The editor and publisher reserve the right to return to the author for revision manuscripts and illustrations that are not in proper finished form.
Upon acceptance of an article for publication, the author will be asked to sign a copyright transfer agreement, transferring rights to the publisher, who reserves copyright.
It is the current policy to underwrite all normal black-and-white tabular and illustration costs. It is the policy of the Journal not to levy page charges. However, because of the very high cost of color reproduction, such work will be initiated only at the author's request and expense.
Proofs. A single set of page and illustration proofs will be sent to the author. All corrections should be marked clearly directly on page proofs.
Reprints. Reprints may be purchased at prices quoted on the reprint order form. Reprint orders should be returned with the proofs. It is important to order initially a sufficient quantity of reprints since the price is substantially higher if they are ordered after the paper has been published.
Foldouts The Journal does not publish foldouts. Larger picutres can be speard across the binding onto two pages, or they can be printed as two panels on facing pages.
656: Rapid Communications for Short Reports of Timely and Unusual Interest
Publication within approximately eight weeks of receipt by the Publisher will be provided for manuscripts of timely and unusual interest. These should consist of approximately eight to ten typewritten pages and one page of illustrations. Authors will receive proofs, which should be returned promptly in order to effect quick publication.
Instructions for Preparation of Manuscripts
The manuscript must be submitted on disk with a matching hard copy. The manuscript is to be typed on paper measuring 8 1/2 x 11 inches with a one-inch margin on all sides. The manuscript should include title, abstract, body of the text, tables, illustrations, legends, and literature. All material is to be double-spaced. The titles and column heads of tables are to be centered with material so arranged as to be esthetically pleasing and to give proper emphasis to pertinent data.
Footnotes, if necessary, will follow the Literature Cited. Figure legends will be the last listed section of the manuscript.
Normally, all illustrations will appear on one page as single or multiple figures occupying a total maximum area of 6 3/16 x 9 inches. The Guide for Authors contains additional instructions for preparing illustration copy.
Reprints (available in multiples of 100) may be purchased at prices quoted on the reprint order form. Reprint orders should be returned with the proofs.
Manuscripts with illustrations, packed flat, are to be sent by express prepaid or by registered mail to the Editor. Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, authors will be requested to sign a form transferring copyright to the publisher, who reserves copyright.
Disk Submission Instructions
Please return your final, revised manuscript on disk as well as hard copy.
The hard copy must match the disk.
The Journal strongly encourages authors to deliver the final, revised version of their accepted manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on disk. Given the near-universal use of computer word-processing for manuscript preparation, we anticipate that providing a disk will be convenient for you, and it carries the added advantages of maintaining the integrity of your keystrokes and expediting typesetting. Please return the disk submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled disk(s).
Guidelines for Electronic Submission
Text
Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor
