About the journal
|
All aspects of insect physiology are published in this journal which will also accept papers on the physiology of other arthropods, if the referees consider the work to be of general interest. The coverage includes endocrinology (in relation to moulting, reproduction and metabolism), pheromones, neurobiology (cellular, integrative and developmental), physiological pharmacology, nutrition (food selection, digestion and absorption), homeostasis, excretion, reproduction and behaviour. Papers covering functional genomics and molecular approaches to physiological problems will also be included. Communications on structure and applied entomology can be published if the subject matter has an explicit bearing on the physiology of arthropods. Review articles are also welcomed.
This journal is available at a special rate to members of the Entomological Society of America http://www.entsoc.org/.

Instructions to Authors
Online Submission using the Author Gateway:
Authors are encouraged to submit and upload their manuscripts via the "Author Gateway"page of this journal (http://authors.elsevier.com/jnlnr/231), where you will also find a detailed description on its use. The system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article which is used for the reviewing process. It is crucial that all graphical and tabular elements be placed within the text, so that the file is suitable for reviewing. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary.
If you have any further questions after reading the instructions online, you may direct your queries at authorsupport@elsevier.com
Submission of Papers through the mail:
Authors are requested to submit three copies of their original manuscript, including three sets of good quality figures, to one of the Editors:

Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. Submission also implies that all authors have approved the paper for release and are in agreement with its content.
Types of Contributions
1. Original research articles (Regular Articles).
2. Reviews
Original Research Articles should report the results of original research. The material should not have been previously published elsewhere, except in a preliminary form.
Reviews will deal with tightly defined topics, which are highly novel, and of particular interest to the readership of the Journal. Suggested length of the text is approximately 5000 words. Authors of reviews are offered a stipend of $200 upon acceptance of their paper, plus one free colour page.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Manuscripts must be printed, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The corresponding author should be identified (include telephone, fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final version. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use..
Instructions for authors regarding GenBank/DNA sequence linking
DNA sequences and GenBank Accession numbers Many Elsevier journals cite "gene accession numbers" in their running text and footnotes. Gene accession numbers refer to genes or DNA sequences about which further information can be found in the databases at the National Center for Biotechnical Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine. Elsevier authors wishing to enable other scientists to use the accession numbers cited in their papers via links to these sources, should type this information in the following manner:
For each and every accession number cited in an article, authors should type the accession number in bold, underlined text. Letters in the accession number should always be capitalised. (See Example 1 below). This combination of letters and format will enable Elsevier's typesetters to recognize the relevant texts as accession numbers and add the required link to GenBank's sequences.
Example 1: "GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511, AI632198, and BF223228), a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)".
Authors are encouraged to check accession numbers used very carefully. An error in a letter or number can result in a dead link.
In the final version of the printed article, the accession number text will not appear bold or underlined (see Example 2 below).
Example 2: "GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511, AI632198, and BF223228), a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)".
In the final version of the electronic copy, the accession number text will be linked to the appropriate source in the NCBI databases enabling readers to go directly to that source from the article (see Example 3 below).
Example 3: "GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511, AI632198, and BF223228), a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)".

Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Illustrations, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers.
Only standard abbreviations should be used. Subject specific abbreviations and jargon will not be accepted.
The Latin names should be given for all species used in the investigation, although taxonomic affiliation and authority need not be provided in the title.
Sequences should be accompanied by an accession number.
Abstracts: This should be a brief summary of the contents and conclusions of the paper, and should not be longer than 200 words and should not contain references.
Keywords: No more than five key word entries should be provided for rapid scanning of the contents of the paper and for compiling the index.
Introduction: This should contain a brief survey of the relevant literature and the reasons for doing the work.
Materials and Methods: Sufficient information should be given to permit repetition of the experimental work. The technical description of methods should be given only when such methods are new.
Results: These should be presented concisely. Only in exceptional cases will it be permissible to present the same set of results in both table and a figure. The results section should not be used for discussion.
Discussion: This should be separate from the results section and should deal with the significance of the results and their relationship to the object of the work.
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication (e.g. "Since Peterson (1993) has shown that ...." or "This is in agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1994)". For three or more authors use the first author followed by "et al.", in the text. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
References should be given in the following form:
Bernays, E.A., Chapman, R.F., 2001. Taste cell responses in the polyphagous arctiid, Grammia geneura: towards a general pattern for caterpillars. Journal of Insect Physiology 47, 1029-1043.
Saunders, D.S., 1982. Insect clocks, 2nd edn. Pergamon Press, Oxford.
Pichon, Y., Ashcroft, F.M., 1985. Nerve and muscle: electrical activity. In: Kerkut, G.A., Gilbert, L.I. (Eds.), Comprehensive insect physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology, Vol. 5. Pergamon Press, Oxford, pp. 85-113.
References to papers "in press" must mean that the article has been accepted for publication.
References to "personal communications" and unpublished work are permitted in the text only; references to papers in preparation or submitted are not permissible.
Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet. As far as possible, authors should endeavor to provide each figure with a legend that states concisely what the figure shows. Examples of good practice are to be found in Marcu, O. and Locke, M. (1999). The origin, transport and cleavage of the molt-associated cuticular protein CECP22 from Calpodes ethlius (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae). Journal of Insect Physiology 45, 861-870.
Line Drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour:Authors will be charged for colour reproduction as follows: Euro 363 for the first page, Euro 182 for subsequent pages. The costs for exceptional colour plates may be waived at the discretion of the journal.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs). Units of measure should always be indicated clearly.
Electronic Submission
Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the final version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Full details of electronic submission and formats can be obtained from Author Services at Elsevier Science.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the author (first named author if no corresponding author is identified of multi-authored papers) and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any others may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return, since the inclusion of late corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofs are to be returned to the Log-in Department of the relevant Elsevier Science site.
Offprints
Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge. Offprints can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints will incur a 50% surcharge.
