Published since 1897 by the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, The Biological Bulletin is one of America's oldest, peer-reviewed scientific journals. The journal is aimed at a general readership, and especially invites articles about those novel phenomena and contexts characteristic of intersecting fields. Communications about manuscripts should be sent to Michael J. Greenberg, Editor-in-Chief, or Pamela Clapp Hinkle, Managing Editor, at: The Marine Biological Laboratory The Biological Bulletin 7 MBL Street Woods Hole, MA 02543 Tel: 508-289-7428 Fax: 508-289-7922 Email: Managing Editor For permission to copy or reprint articles or portions thereof, email Permissions or send a letter to the Permissions Administrator at the above address. The Biological Bulletinis indexed in bibliographic services including Index Medicusand MEDLINE, Chemical Abstracts, Current Contents, Elsevier BIOBASE/Current Awareness in Biological Sciences,and Geo Abstracts.   Instructions to Authors   The Biological Bulletin  accepts outstanding original research reports of general interest to biologists throughout the world. Papers are usually of intermediate length (10-40 manuscript pages). A limited number of solicited review papers may be accepted after formal review. A paper will usually appear within four months after its acceptance. Very short, especially topical papers (less than 9 manuscript pages including tables, figures, and bibliography) will be published in a separate section entitled "Research Notes." A Research Note in The Biological Bulletin follows the format of similar notes in Nature. It should open with a summary paragraph of 150 to 200 words comprising the introduction and the conclusions. The rest of the text should continue on without subheadings, and there should be no more than 30 references. References should be referred to in the text by number and listed in the Literature Cited section in the order that they appear in the text. Unlike references in Nature, references in the Research Notes section should conform in punctuation and arrangement to the style of recent issues of The Biological Bulletin. Materials and Methods should be incorporated into appropriate figure legends. See the article by Lohmann et al. (October 1990, Vol.179:214-218) for sample style. A Research Note will usually appear within two months after its acceptance. The Editorial Board requests that regular manuscripts conform to the requirements set below; those manuscripts that do not conform will be returned to authors for correction before review. Manuscripts should be submitted to: Editor-in-Chief The Biological Bulletin Marine Biological Laboratory 7 MBL Street Woods Hole, Masschusetts 02543 USA The instructions presented below contain the following headings: 1. Manuscripts 2. Title page 3. Figures 4. Tables, footnotes, figure legends, etc. 5. Literature cited 6. Sequences 7. Reprints, page proofs, and charges 1. Manuscripts. Manuscripts, including figures, should be submitted in quadruplicate. (Photocopies of photographs are not acceptable for review purposes.) If possible, please include an electronic copy of the text of the manuscript. Label the disk with the name of the first author and the name and version of the word processing software used to create the file. If the file was not created in some version of Microsoft Word, save the text in rich text format (rtf). The submission letter accompanying the manuscript should include a telephone number, a FAX number, and (if possible) an E-mail address for the corresponding author. The original manuscript must be typed in no smaller than 12 pitch or 10 point, using double spacing (includingfigure legends, footnotes, bibliography, etc.) on one side of 16- or 20-lb. bond paper, 8 1/2 by 11 inches. Please, no right justification. Manuscripts should be proofread carefully and errors corrected prior to submission. Pages should be numbered consecutively. Margins on all sides should be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm). Manuscripts should conform to the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual, 5th Edition (Council of Biology Editors, 1983) and to American spelling. Unusual abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and should be spelled out on first reference as well as defined in a footnote on the title page. Manuscripts should be divided into the following components: Title page, Abstract (of no more than 200 words), Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, Literature Cited, Tables, and Figure Legends. In addition, authors should supply a list of words and phrases under which the article should be indexed. 2. Title page. The title page consists of a condensed title or running head of no more than 35 letters and spaces, the manuscript title, authors' names and appropriate addresses, and footnotes listing present addresses, acknowledgments or contribution numbers, and explanation of unusual abbreviations. 3. Figures. The dimensions of the printed page, 7 by 9 inches, should be kept in mind in preparing figures for publication. We recommend that figures be about 1 1/2 times the linear dimensions of the final printing desired, and that the ratio of the largest to the smallest letter or number and of the thickest to the thinnest line not exceed 1:1.5. Explanatory matter generally should be included in legends, although axes should always be identified on the illustration itself. Figures should be prepared for reproduction as either line cuts or halftones. Figures to be reproduced as line cuts should be unmounted glossy photographic reproductions or drawn in black ink on white paper, good-quality tracing cloth or plastic, or blue-lined coordinate paper. Those to be reproduced as halftones should be mounted on board, with both designating numbers or letters and scale bars affixed directly to the figures. All figures should be numbered in consecutive order, with no distinction between text and plate figures. The author's name and an arrow indicating orientation should appear on the reverse side of all figures. Color: The Biological Bulletinwill publish color figures and plates, but must bill authors for the actual additional cost of printing in color. The process is expensive, so authors with more than one color image should, consistent with editorial concerns, especially citation of figures in order, combine them into a single plate to reduce the expense. On request, when supplied with a copy of a color illustration, the editorial staff will provide a pre-publication estimate of the printing cost. Digital Art: The Biological Bulletin will accept figures submitted in electronic form: see guidelines: 4. Tables, footnotes, figure legends, etc. Authors should follow the style in a recent issue of The Biological Bulletin in preparing table headings, figure legends, and the like. Because of the high cost of setting tabular material in type, authors are asked to limit such material as much as possible. Tables, with their headings and footnotes, should be typed on separate sheets, numbered with consecutive Roman numerals, and placed after the Literature Cited. Figure legends should contain enough information to make the figure intelligible separate from the text. Legends should be typed double spaced, with consecutive Arabic numbers, on a separate sheet at the end of the paper. Footnotes should be limited to authors' current addresses, acknowledgments or contribution numbers, and explanation of unusual abbreviations. All such footnotes should appear on the title page. Footnotes are not normally permitted in the body of the text. 5. Literature cited.In the text, literature should be cited by the Harvard system, with papers by more than two authors cited as Jones et al.,1980. Personal communications and material in preparation or in press should be cited in the text only, with author's initials and institutions, unless the material has been formally accepted and a volume number can be supplied. The list of references following the text should be headed Literature Cited, and must be typed double spaced on separate pages, conforming in punctuation and arrangement to the style of recent issues of The Biological Bulletin. Citations should include complete titles and inclusive pagination. Journal abbreviations should normally follow those of the U.S.A. Standards Institute (USASI), as adopted by Biological Abstracts and Chemical Abstracts, with the minor differences set out below. The most generally useful list of biological journal titles is that published each year by Biological Abstracts (BIOSIS List of Serials; the most recent issue). Foreign authors, and others who are accustomed to using The World List of Scientific Periodicals, may find a booklet published by the Biological Council of the U.K. (obtainable from the Institute of Biology, 41 Queen's Gate, London, S.W.7, England, U.K.) useful, since it sets out the World List abbreviations for most biological journals with notes of the USASI abbreviations where these differ. Chemical Abstracts publishes quarterly supplements of additional abbreviations. The following points of reference style for The Biological Bulletin differ from USASI (or modified World List usage: A. Journal abbreviations, and book titles, all underlined (for italics) B. All components of abbreviations with initial capitals (not as European usage in WORLD LIST e.g., J. Cell. Comp. Physiol. NOT J. cell. comp. Physiol.) C. All abbreviated components must be followed by a period, whole word components must not (i.e., J. Cancer Res.) D. Space between all components (e.g., J. Cell. Comp. Physiol., NOT J.Cell.Comp.Physiol.) E. Unusual words in journal titles should be spelled out in full, rather than employing new abbreviations invented by the author. For example, use Rit Visindafjelags Islendinga without abbreviation. F. All single word journal titles in full (e.g., Veliger, Ecology, Brain). G. The order of abbreviated components should be the same as the word order of the complete title (i.e., Proc. and Trans. placed where they appear, not transposed as in some Biological Abstracts listings). H. A few well-known international journals in their preferred forms rather than World List or USASI usage (e.g., Nature, Science, Evolution, NOT Nature, Lond., Science, N. Y.; Evolution, Lancaster, Pa.) 6. Sequences.By the time a paper is sent to the press, all nucleotide or amino acid sequences and associated alignments should have been deposited in a generally accessible database (e.g., GenBank, EMBL, SwissProt), and the sequence accession number should be provided. 7. Reprints, page proofs, and charges.Authors may purchase reprints in lots of 100. Forms for placing reprint orders are sent with page proofs. Reprints normally will be delivered about 2 to 3 months after the issue date. Authors (or delegates for foreign authors) will receive page proofs of articles shortly before publication. They will be charged the current cost of printers' time for corrections to these (other than corrections of printers' or editors' errors). Other than these charges for authors' alterations, The Biological Bulletin does not have page charges. Editorial Board   Editor-in-Chief Michael J.
