This timely journal disseminates the most current original research on the inheritance and evolution of behavioral characteristics in man and other species. Contributions from eminent international researchers focus on both the application of various genetic perspectives to the study of behavioral characteristics and the influence of behavioral differences on the genetic structure of populations.     Instructions to Authors Manuscripts, in English, should be submitted to the Executive Editor¡¯s Office via the journal¡¯s web-based online manuscript submission and peer-review system: http://bege.edmgr.com Inquiries regarding journal policy and other such general topics should be sent to the Executive Editor: John K. Hewitt Executive Editor, Behavior Genetics Institute for Behavioral Genetics 447 UCB University of Colorado Boulder, CO 80309 USA e-mail: John.Hewitt@colorado.edu The online system offers easy straightforward log-in and submission; supports a wide range of submission file formats [Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTeX for manuscripts; TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, PPT, and Postscript for figures (artwork)]; eliminates the need to submit manuscripts as hard-copy printouts, disks, and/or e-mail attachments; enables real-time tracking of manuscript status by author; and provides help should authors experience any submission difficulties (click on "Contact Us" from the toolbar). Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Plenum Publishing Corporation will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Executive Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible. All pages should be typed double-spaced and numbered (including pages containing the title, authors¡¯ names and affiliation footnotes, abstract, acknowledgments, references, tables, and figure caption list). A title page is to be provided and should include the title of the article, author¡¯s name (no degrees), author¡¯s affiliation, and suggested running head. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the author¡¯s name. The suggested running head should be less than 80 characters (including spaces) and should comprise the article title or an abbreviated version thereof. For office purposes, the title page should include the complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address of the one author designated to review proofs. An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 150 words. A list of 5¨C6 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purpose. Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals. The captions for illustrations should be typed on a separate page. Photographs should be large glossy images, showing high contrast. Color art should be in the CYMK color space. Tables should be numbered (with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate page. Center the title above the table, and type explanatory footnotes (indicated by superscript lowercase letters) below the table. List references alphabetically at the end of the paper and refer to them in the text by name and year in parentheses. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author's name is given in the text, followed by et al. References should include titles of papers. In general, Behavior Genetics follows the recommendations of Style Manual for Biological Journals, published by the American Institute of Biological Sciences, and it is suggested that contributors refer to this publication. After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor's Office as hard copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information ¡ª software, journal name, and first author's last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editor's Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard-copy manuscript. This point does not apply to manuscripts in the online system. The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms are sent with proofs.
