About the journal
|
Florida Entomologist, the first long-published, refereed, natural science journal on the Internet. Florida Entomologist is also
the first journal to put its contents on the Internet in PDF format,
the first life science journal to have all current and back issues on the Web with free access, the first entomological journal to allow authors to archive supplemental digital material with their articles,
the first journal to be freely accessible on BioOne.
The Florida Entomological Society still produces the traditionally printed version of Florida Entomologist, but you can also view, search, or print any article published since June 1917 by accessing online files.

A PAPER COPY IS NOT NECESSARY. Manuscripts may be assigned to an associate editor.
Double-space sentences. Use 8.5” x 11” format, 1-inch margins.
ORDER manuscript as: title page, abstract with key words, resumen, text, acknowledgments (or endnote), references cited, tables, figure-caption list. Number pages.
TITLE PAGE: Place name, address, e-mail address, and phone number of author designated to process revisions and review proofs in upper right corner and suggested running head (60 characters or spaces or less) in upper left corner. Order and Family of key organisms should be included in title, but omit authority for scientific names in title.
ABSTRACT: Submit an abstract in English and resumen in Spanish (preferred), or Portuguese. The Editor will obtain a translation if author cannot. Include the complete scientific name of all pertinent organisms. KEY WORDS: 4-6 below the Abstract.
TEXT: Follow a general format of introduction (no head), MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION. Use metric measurements; express quantities as Arabic numerals except as the first word of a sentence or to avoid ambiguity. Manuscripts in systematics must have an introduction. Taxonomic keys should use the format of vol. 72(2)(1989). Descriptions of new taxa should contain information that will distinguish them from other related taxa including appropriate amendment of existing keys. Formal descriptions of taxa may be telegraphic; use of gender symbols is acceptable except for headings. Abbreviate collection dates with Roman numerals for months and Arabic numerals for days and years: 30-IV-1947.
CITATIONS IN TEXT: Use the name-date format: Jones (1986); (Jones 1986); Jones & Smith (1986); (Jones & Smith 1986); Jones (in press); (A.F. Jones, Dept. Zoology, Ohio State University, personal communication). Use “et al.” for 3 or more authors. Provide evidence of acceptance for works “in press”, otherwise cite as “unpublished” or “personal communication.” Provide written permission from personal communicants.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: Place disclaimers, journal series numbers, funding sources, address changes other than correspondent, etc. here.
REFERENCES CITED: Important format change: Put initials of ALL authors after the last (family) name. Example: JONES, B. J., AND SMITH, C. A. 2008…. Include all source material cited in the manuscript. Provide all information that would allow retrieval of the material. Do not abbreviate place names in journal citations (Florida Entomol, Folia Mexicana), otherwise use the abbreviations found in the Council of Biological Editors Style Manual or Biological Abstracts List of Serials with Title Abbreviations. All author names are to be in uppercase.
TABLES AND FIGURES: Submit all figures and photographs as .jpg or .tiff files. Please DO NOT embed figures in text or submit figures as .ppt files. All figures and tables must be referenced in the text with Arabic numerals in the order in which they appear in the text. Table footnotes are written below the table and indicated as superscript Arabic numerals. Table legend in uppercase. All captions for figures are listed together on a separate page. All illustrations must be complete and final. Make a composite figure if numerous line drawings or photographs are needed; do not combine photographs and drawings in the same figure.
SCIENTIFIC NOTES: Short contributions with a maximum text length of 1000 words. More than 2 figures and/or tables are discouraged. Submit a title page and text in logical scientific order without any headings except, “Summary” and “References Cited.” Summary should be 1 to 3 sentences in length, “abstract-like” and located at end of text.
CHARGES: $58 per printed page with a surcharge of $26 per figure or table. Reprints are available; order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs. IFWA (Immediate Free Web Access), regular article - $100.00, scientific notes -$50.00.
ELECTRONIC REPRINTS: Internet publication of all articles is included in the page charges. Persons with access to the Web can read or make e-reprints@ (equivalent to high quality photocopies) at any time and without charge.
INFOLINKS: For $45, a hyperlink will be inserted in the online table of contents that accesses the author’s article (for more information, see http://www.fcla.edu/FlaEnt/infolink.pdf).
Disk & Typescript Submission Requirements:

CIRCLED ITEMS ARE MARKED ON THE MANUSCRIPT. PLEASE REVISE.
Title Page
2. Renumber pages as 1 -title page, 2 -abstract and key words, 3 -Resumen, 4+ text.
3. All words in title in uppercase letters.
4. Insert (Order: Family) in the title.
5. Use either ESA accepted common name or Latin binomial, not both.
6. Delete systematic authority from Latin binomial in title.
7. Authors’ names in uppercase letters. If authors are not from a single affiliation, type author names, separated by commas. Use a superscript numeral to designate each affiliation. Drop down and type the affiliations in order of appearance on the author line and designate by the appropriate superscript.
8 Name, address, and phone number for galley proofs belong in the upper right corner beginning one line below the running head.
9. Type a running head of no more than 55 characters (including author designation) beginning in the upper left corner of the title page. Underline except for words that would normally be in italics. Use the form: Jones: New Method for Fly Control; For two authors use Jones & Smith:, and for more than two, Jones et al.:. Scientific Notes carry a running head of Scientific Notes. DO NOT PLACE RUNNING HEAD ON SAME LINE AS ANY OTHER TEXT.
Order
10. Sections of the manuscript should be in the following order: title page, abstract, key words, resumen, text, acknowledgment or end note, references cited, footnotes, tables, figure legends, figures. The title page, abstract and resumen, footnotes, each table, and the list of figure legends must be on separate pages.
Abstract
11. CENTER the word ABSTRACT, typed entirely in capital letters and not underlined. Indent the first paragraph. On the page following the English abstract center the title RESUMEN. If you have prepared a Spanish translation place it here, other wise leave it blank. Do not attempt a translation unless you or your translator are very fluent in Spanish. Spanish abstract Editor will provide translation.
12. Give the systematic authority at first mention in the abstract and the text. Spell out all authorities except Linnaeus and Fabricius.
Key Words
13. Type 4-6 key words other than those in the title directly below abstract.
Text
14. Indent first paragraph of the introduction and do not type the first words entirely in capitals.
15. Routine use of common name acronyms is not encouraged. Please write out the common name or use the Latin binomial with the genus abbreviated. Ensure that you have not unnecessarily repeated the name of the organism where it is clear to which animal you are referring. If the article is about the cabbage looper, you do not have to say "cabbage looper larvae", just say "the larvae".
16. Use "approximately", "about", or a similar term, not "ca.".
17. Avoid the term "prior to". Use "before".
18. The words "since" and "while" should be used only in a temporal sense. Do not use "since" as a synonym for "because".
19. "That" is used of persons, animals, or things; "which", only of animals or things ("who" preferably designates the individual or distinguishes each member of a group, whereas "that" identifies the group or class itself). Clauses essential to the sense of a sentence (called restrictive clauses) are introduced by "that". Nonrestrictive clauses--those that describe their antecedents--are introduced by "which". Nonrestrictive clauses are parenthetical and may be omitted without harm.
20. "compared with," not "compared to."
21. Plural/singular noun requires plural/singular verb.
22. No comma, the terms are not equal (the lycaenid Eumaeus atala).
23. Insert comma, the terms are equal (a lycaenid, Eumaeus atala).
24. Improper abbreviation. See CBE Style Manual.
25. Use "per" unless reporting unit/unit measurement.
26. Use metric units only. Report English units in parentheses if deemed necessary.
27. Do not abbreviate "liter".
28. Specify photoperiod as "a photoperiod of __:__ (L:D)."
29. Use "h" to abbreviate hour. Use "hours" for military time (1330 hours). Use "s" to abbreviate second.
Headings
30. Please use the heading MATERIALS AND METHODS not Methods and Materials.
31. Delete the heading "Introduction". This section is not labeled.
32. PRIMARY HEADINGS are CENTERED and in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. DO NOT UNDERLINE.
33. SECONDARY HEADINGS are placed flush left with capitalization of the first letter of each major term. Do not underline. Drop down one line, and indent to begin the first sentence of the section.
34. Tertiary Headings. These are indented with capitalization of the first letter of each major term, underlined to indicate italics, and followed by a period. Immediately begin the first sentence of the section.
Citations in Text
35. Tables and figures must be cited in numerical order in the text. Each figure or table must be cited.
36. Reference citations in the text are separated by commas, not semicolons. Do not use a comma between author’s name and date.
37. Use an ampersand (&) for "and" in text citations.
38. Do not underline "et al.", "ad hoc", or similar Latin phrases. Properly abbreviate "al."
39. If unpublished data is all from the authors of the paper cite as "(unpublished data)." If the data are from only 1 (or more) of the authors, cite as "(R.F.K & R.M.N., unpublished data)."
40. Unpublished data or a personal communication from a person other than the authors will not be published without a corroborating letter from the person cited. Please provide an affiliation sufficient for a reader to contact the communicant when citing unpublished work or personal communications.
41. In parentheses, give the manufacturer's name and address, and model number or similar identifier if relevant.
Statistical Presentation
42. Describe statistical methods in full in Materials and Methods together with citation of the methodology or software used.
43. When presenting the results of analysis of variance (or t test), specify F (or t), degrees of freedom, and Probability (or a) level either in text or in appropriate table footnotes. Present similar parameters for other statistical tests.
44. Multiple mean separation tests (Duncan, SNK, Dunnet, various so-called 'Ryans' tests, etc.) are increasingly in disfavor throughout the statistical community, having been called into question by such luminaries as Fisher, Yates, and even Duncan. The use of such tests is strongly discouraged. (If you are compelled to use an MMST we suggest the Waller-Duncan k-ratio t test). In many cases the simple presentation of means with descriptive statistics such as standard deviation, standard error of the mean, coefficient of variation, confidence limits, or variance will suffice.
Insecticides and Similar Compounds
45. Define terms such as EC, WP; then use abbreviation.
46. Use accepted common names for insecticides. Trade names may be given in parentheses at first mention in text, with name and location of manufacturer. Provide the chemical name for those without an accepted common name at first use in abstract and text.
Acknowledgment or Endnote
47. Place disclaimers, journal series numbers, funding sources, address changes other than correspondent, work as part of postgraduate degree requirements, etc. here, not in a footnote. If only acknowledgment is included, head as "ACKNOWLEDGMENT", if other information is included, head as "ENDNOTE." Do not use titles before names. Generally, people precede institutions and institutions precede grants. Spell out institutions.
Footnotes
48. Generally to be avoided. Use to indicate the address to which reprint requests should be sent, if different from the address (affiliation) of the senior author.
Figures
49. Figures must be submitted appropriately assembled (camera ready). Paste up separate units of a multiple figure into a single plate. Label appropriately.
50. Provide a separate legend for each figure or combine into a plate.
51. Photo may not reproduce well.
52. Photo or figure does not seem necessary.
53. Photo or figure not cited in text.
Tables
54. Table legend in uppercase.
55. Cite table in text.
56. Prepare table as in CBE style manual or consult past issues of Florida Entomologist.
57. Use superscript numbers to reference table footnotes.
References Cited
58. Begin on a new page.
59. All author names should be in uppercase, e.g., JONES, E. G., AND A. B. HOWARD. 1988.
60. When citing references from a book use following order: JONES, E. G. 1988. Sampling techniques, pp. 34-45 IN A. B. Howard [ed.] Insect Collecting Procedures. Bradberry Publications N. Y. 200 pp.
61. Not in journal style, change as indicated or check recent issues for style.
62. Spell out place or geographic names in journal titles (Mexicana, Georgia, Canadian, Australian, Florida, etc.)
Scientific Notes
63. Short contributions with a maximum text length of 1000 words.
64. Title page and text in logical order without headings, except "SUMMARY" and "REFERENCES CITED".
65. Summary should be 1 to 3 sentences in length "abstract-like" and located at the end of the text.
66. No more than 2 tables or figures.
