About the journal
Global Ecology and Biogeography focuses on the emerging field of macroecology: the study of broad, consistent patterns in the ecological characteristics of organisms and ecosystems. The journal emphasizes studies that address general ecological hypotheses, explored and tested using data of broad geographic, taxonomic, or temporal scope. A variety of approaches are represented: empirical studies documenting ecological and biogeographic patterns, theoretical studies that explore the causes of those patterns, applied studies of impacts of anthropogenic influences, as well as methodological studies of the tools used to study these problems. Recent work published in Global Ecology and Biogeography has included topics such as broad-scale patterns of biodiversity, ecosystem responses to global climate change, historical and evolutionary biogeography, remote sensing of ecosystem properties, species abundance and species range patterns, and statistical methodologies. The journal was established in 1991 and is published in 6 issues a year.
Global Ecology and Biogeography is published as part of a single subscription package with its sister journals Journal of Biogeography, and Diversity and Distributions. Together these journals provide comprehensive coverage of the fields of biogeography, ecology and biodiversity. The editors may decide to transfer material between the journals where this is deemed most suitable. All papers submitted to the journals are subject to peer review.

Instructions to Authors
Instructions for Authors
Papers dealing with all aspects of spatial, ecological and historical biogeography are considered for publication in Global Ecology and Biogeography. Accepted papers become the copyright of the Journal.
Submission
Global Ecology and Biogeography requires online submission of manuscripts through ScholarOne Manuscripts at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/geb. Submission online is an intuitive, step-by-step process. By submitting online, you will benefit from quicker peer-review, web-based manuscript tracking, online reviewing and faster response. You will need your manuscript and figures in a digital format. When submitting, authors should upload a single text file with embedded figures. A PDF file will then automatically be created for reviewing purposes. Full instructions and support for authors can be found at the Site. To use the Site you will need a user ID and password. Go to the Journal's submission homepage ( http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/geb) and click 'Create a new account' if you have not registered before, or click 'Check for existing account' if you have submitted online or reviewed online before for the Journal (or if you have forgotten your details).
Enquiries
Editorial Assistant: geboffice@wiley.com
The journal welcomes submissions under the following formats:
Research Papers
Standard research articles. Manuscripts should be as concise as possible, and illustrative material should be carefully selected. The body of a manuscript (excluding references, tables and figures) should not normally exceed 5000 words, and there should not be more than 50 cited references. Authors who wish to submit a manuscript that exceeds these limits should provide an explanation of the need for greater space in a cover letter to the editor. The manuscript must include an abstract of no more than 300 words structured under the headings: Aim, Location, Methods, Results, Main conclusions. Where this format is inappropriate, e.g. for very short 'notes', abstracts should consist of a single paragraph of no more than 200 words. A short running title, and a list of between six and ten key words/phrases should be provided. The order of material should be as follows: title page, authors, contact details, abstract, key words, text, references, biosketch, tables, figure legends, figures.
Ecological Soundings
This section is intended for short, occasionally provocative, personal perspectives on important themes within the subject. The main body of the text should be of no more than 2000 words, and submissions should include a single-paragraph abstract of no more than 200 words, plus a list of key words. If you have an idea for this section, please email the Editor in advance of submitting your manuscript.
Research Reviews and Meta-Analyses
Research Reviews are concise reviews of themes central to the themes of the journal, offering a degree of synthesis and intended to advance the discipline. Meta-analyses have a similar goal, advanced through a more formal statistical analysis of previously published data. For both these paper types an abstract and key words should be provided (see 'Research Papers', above, for abstract specification). If you have an idea for a Research Review or a Meta-Analysis, please email the Editor-in-Chief in advance of submitting your manuscript.
Correspondence
The journal welcomes short items of correspondence prompted by papers previously published in this or occasionally other journals. The text should be up to 2500 words, inclusive of a short one-paragraph (150 word) abstract, and a list of 6-10 keyword entries. No Biosketch is included in Correspondence papers.
Preparation of your manuscript
All manuscripts must be written in English, and if English is not your first language it is recommended that you have your manuscript carefully checked by an English speaker before submission.
Manuscripts should be formatted as A4 with ample margins, double line spacing, no hyphenation and with automatic wordwrap (no hard returns within paragraphs). Please use the line numbering facility within your word processing programme. Type your text consistently, e.g. take care to distinguish between '1' (one) and 'l' (lower-case L) and '0' (zero) and 'O' (capital O), etc. The title of the contribution, name(s) of the author(s), and the complete address, including post or zip code, of the institution where the work was carried out should be clear; and the full postal address of the author with whom the Editor can correspond must also be indicated, as well as the present address of any author if different from the place where the work was carried out. An email address must also be included. All pages should be numbered. Please provide a short running header to go at the top of the journal page.
Papers are accepted on the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be, published elsewhere. If accepted, papers become copyright of the Journal. No page charges will be levied, although there is a charge for colour reproduction.
If there is colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Wiley-Blackwell require you to complete and return a Colour Work Agreement Form before your paper can be published. Once completed, please return the form to the Production Editor at the address below:
Production Editor
Global Ecology and Biogeography
Wiley-Blackwell
101 George Street
Edinburgh EH2 3ES, UK
Fax: +44 131 226 3803
E-mail: geb@wiley.com
Any article received by Wiley-Blackwell with colourwork will not be published until the form has been returned. Under exceptional circumstances, authors may request the above charges to be waived. This must be done, in writing, at the time of submission of the manuscript, and authors must justify to the Editor that inclusion of the figure(s) in colour is essential for interpretation of the results presented. If authors wish to apply for funds to cover the costs of colour printing, the Editor will provide relevant support letters to funding bodies, indicating acceptance of the paper. Note that we offer a free Colour on the Web option whereby authors can have figures printed in black and white in the journal but in colour in the online version, free of charge.
Biosketch/Biosketches
A short Biosketch/Biosketches entry (30-100 words for one author/150 words for the first three authors, respectively) describing the research interests of the author(s) should be provided. For papers with >3 authors, biosketch details should be supplied for the first author only; alternatively, a general statement of the focus of the research team (which may include a link to a group web page) should be provided, together with a statement of author roles, e.g. Author contributions: A.S. and K.J. conceived the ideas; K.J. and R.L.M. collected the data; R.L.M. and P.A.K. analysed the data; and A.S. and K.J. led the writing.
Abbreviations and units and nomenclature
SI units (m, km2, kg, etc.) are preferred. Statistics and measurements should always be given in figures, i.e. 10 km, except where the number begins the paragraph. When the number does not refer to a unit of measurement, it is spelt out (e.g. three samples), except where the number is greater than 100. Use: negative exponents (e.g. t year-1, not t/year); L for litres; 24-hour clock format; and format dates as 31 March 1999. The word 'Figure' should be abbreviated in the text, e.g. Fig. 1, Figs 2 and 3. The correct nomenclatural authorities for all taxa must be given on their first appearance in the text, in Tables, or figure captions, unless a general reference to a standard source can be provided at an appropriate place. A list of preferred abbreviations and naming conventions is available here.
Headings
Three different weights of headings are available:
A: New line, full out left, all capitals, bold type; following text on new line not indented; [example A LEVEL HEADING]
B: New line, full out left, initial capital letter first word only, bold type; following text on new line not indented; [example B level heading]
C: New line, full out left, initial capital letter first word only, italic; following text on new line not indented; [example C level heading]
Tables
Tables must be typed on separate sheets and numbered consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, etc.). Column headings should be brief: with units of measurement in parentheses. Tables should be typed as text, using 'tabs' (not spaces) to align columns. The use of table editors should be avoided. Do not use graphics software to create tables.
Figures, Illustrations and Maps
All illustrations (including photographs) are classified as figures and should be numbered consecutively (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.). When submitting a manuscript to ScholarOne Manuscripts, authors should upload a single text file with embedded figures. Upon your manuscript being accepted for publication, please supply separate files containing electronic versions of your figures (see File Formats, below). Please note that your paper will go through production more quickly if instructions on content and format are followed carefully.
Each figure must have a legend that makes the material completely understandable. Legends should be presented separately from the figures, in a list at the end of the manuscript. Label multi-panel figures (a), (b), (c), etc., preferably in the upper left corner, and refer to them in the text as, for example, Fig. 1(a). Please ensure that electronic artwork is prepared such that, after reduction to fit across one or two columns or two-thirds width (80 mm, 169 mm or 110 mm, respectively) as required, all lettering and symbols will be clear and easy to read, i.e. no labels should be too large or too small. Avoid using tints if possible; if they are essential to the understanding of the figure, try to make them coarse.
Maps that display area data and organism distribution at a continental, hemispheric, or world scale must always use an equal-area map projection (e.g. Mollweide or Aitoff's). Note especially that Mercator's projection is not acceptable for such data. Please indicate the precise projection employed in the caption. On these maps, the equatorial scale should be indicated, while scale information should be provided, preferably as a scale bar within the figure, for all maps of whatever size and area.
File Formats: After acceptance of your manuscript for publication, figure files should be supplied as follows. Photographic figures should be saved in tif format at 300 d.p.i. (or failing that in jpg format with low compression). Line figures should be saved as vector graphics (i.e. composed of lines, curves, points and fonts; not pixels) in eps or pdf format, or embedded as such in Word, as this enhances their display when published online. Combination figures (those composed of vector and pixel/raster elements) should also be saved in eps or pdf format where possible (or embedded as such in Word). If line figures and combination figures cannot be saved in vector graphics format, they should be saved in tif format at high resolution (i.e. 600 d.p.i.) (do not save them in jpg format). If you are unsure about the resolution of your tif files, please zoom in and check that fonts, curves and diagonal lines are smooth-edged and do not appear blocky when viewed at high magnification. Note that line and combination figures supplied in tif format are downsampled for online publication and so authors should preferentially opt for vector graphic formats for these figure types (full resolution tif files are used for print publication).
Full artwork guidelines are given on the publisher's web site http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp
Appendices and Supporting Information
Appendices may be provided for important primary data, which needs to be included in the paper. If, however, these data are very extensive, or if they are of only indirect relevance to the paper, they will normally be made available in an electronic form through the Journal's web pages. Mention of the first supporting appendix, table or figure ,etc., in the text should be in the form 'see Appendix S1 in Supporting Information' [where 'S' indicates Supporting], subsequent mention should be in the form 'see Appendix S2'. Authors should then include a Supporting Information section after the References section, which should be in the following form (text in curly brackets is for completion by the author, see instructions below):
--------------------------------------------
Supplementary Material
Additional Supporting Information may be found in the online version of this article:
Appendix S1 {Insert short legend to online appendix 1}
Appendix S2 {Insert short legend to online appendix 2}
As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors. Such materials are peer-reviewed and may be reorganized for online delivery, but are not copy-edited or typeset. Technical support issues arising from supporting information (other than missing files) should be addressed to the authors.
-------------------------------------------
Only short legends to online appendices should be given in the Supporting Information section; full legends can be given with the online supporting information itself. In the above URL, 'YEAR' is the year of article acceptance (e.g. 2007), and '12345' is the 5-digit production office code for your paper, e.g. 00361. Supporting Information files are hosted by the Publisher in the format supplied by the author and are not copy-edited by the Publisher. It is the responsibility of the author to supply Supporting Information in an appropriate file format and to ensure that it is accurate and correct. The onus is on the author to ensure that material is sent in a correct form at the time of submission. Note: if authors supply links to their own web sites, Wiley-Blackwell is not responsible for the material on these sites. Further information on Supporting Information is available here.
References
Authors must use the system illustrated below. Abbreviate editors to eds and edition to edn. Page extents of single-volume works are not required. Titles of journals should be given in full. Unpublished data, works in preparation and papers submitted but not yet accepted may be cited in the text, giving the author's initials and surname, but should not be included in the reference list. It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission from colleagues to include their work as a personal communication.
In the text, references should be made by giving the author's name with the year of publication, as follows: (Bush & Rivera, 1998). When reference is made to a work by three or more authors the first name followed by et al. is used on all occasions. If several papers by the same author and from the same year are cited, a, b, c, etc., should be put after the year of publication, as follows (Schoener & Shoener, 1983a, b). When citing a list of papers, place them in date order (alphabetically when within a year) and separate them with semi-colons as follows (Schoener & Shoener, 1983a, b; Bush & Rivera, 1998; Collins, 1998).

Policy on the use of RAPD markers. The appropriateness of RAPD markers for population genetic inference is increasingly questioned by our reviewers and editors because of concerns about reproducibility, dominance, and homology. Given these worries, and the ready availability of other kinds of markers that do not suffer from all of these problems, studies based primarily on RAPDs only rarely pass the scrutiny of peer review in Global Ecology and Biogeography. Of course, there may be situations in which RAPDs are appropriate, such as in genetic mapping studies or in searches for diagnostic markers for a given species or trait. These latter kinds of studies will continue to be reviewed by the journal.
