Papers will be published in English only, but abstracts or summaries in French, German, Portuguese, or Spanish may be added when appropriate. Descriptions of single new species may be accepted if accompanied by significant information on zoogeography, ecology, phylogenetic relationships, or other biological concerns. Instructions to Authors Submission of Manuscripts Manuscripts should be sent to the Editor, Journal of Crustacean Biology, P.O. Box 4430, Seminole, Florida 33775-4430, U.S.A. An original plus three printed copies must be submitted. Manuscripts are routinely sent to three reviewers, and the original copy is maintained in the editorial office. Failure to provide the required number of copies will only delay the peer-review process. Also, the word processor file, with embedded illustrations and tables, should be submitted, if possible, preferably in Microsoft Word (.doc) format, to facilitate electronic distribution to the referees. Manuscripts not accompanied by the word processor file will be mailed to the referees, which is slower than electronic distribution.  Form of Manuscripts  The printed manuscript must be typed double-spaced on one side of white paper, either U.S. letter size (21.5 by 28 cm or 8.5 by 11 inches) or A4 paper (about 21 by 29.7 cm), leaving margins of at least 2.54 cm (one inch) all around. Use triple spacing above primary headings. Number pages consecutively in the upper right corner.  Sequence of material should be as follows: Running head, including author name and brief title; Title; Author(s) name(s); Mailing and e-mail address(es) of author(s) (see journal for format); Abstract; Article body; Acknowledgements; Literature Cited; Appendix; Tables; Figure captions; Figures (each numbered and identified).  The title page should give the running head; the title of the paper, typed in all capital letters; and the author name(s) (in italics), followed by affiliation(s) (in Roman type) including e-mail address(es). In the case of multiple authorship, list all authors' names first, then each author's initials should be enclosed in parentheses before the appropriate mailing address; the e-mail address should be within parentheses immediately following the mailing address. The running head should contain the first author's name, a colon, and an abbreviated title in the case of a single author. When there are two authors, include both authors' names before the colon. In the case of three or more authors, use only the first author's name followed by et al. The running head should not exceed about 52 characters.  The abstract should not exceed one double-spaced page. It should contain a summary of significant findings and note the implication of those findings. The section title "ABSTRACT" should be in all capital letters and centered within the margins.  In the text, the Journal of Crustacean Biology follows the style of the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual, 4th Edition; more recent editions are not favored. The Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, Deluxe Second Edition, serves as authority for correct spelling and division of words. However, British spelling is allowed. Metric units of measurement are preferred.  Tables and figures should be self-explanatory, not requiring reference to the text. Each table should start on a separate page and must be double-spaced throughout, even if it extends onto multiple pages. Headings and format must be consistent with the style used in Journal of Crustacean Biology; see previous issues for format. Vertical rules and excessive horizontal rules should not be used. For treatment of large tables of gene sequences, see below.  Figures must be proportioned to fit nicely within the journal's margins when reduced. Figures will be reduced to either 140 mm width (full page) or 67 mm width (column width) and a maximum height of 210 mm (including the space for caption beneath). For figures with multiple parts (e.g., A, B, C, etc.), all of the parts must be together on one sheet, not spread over multiple sheets. For electronic submission of figures, see below.  All papers referred to in the text should be listed in the "Literature Cited" section alphabetically by the authors' surnames, then chronologically for multiple papers by the same author(s) (e.g., Smith, 1999, followed by Smith and Brown, 1998, followed by Smith and Jones, 1996, followed by Smith and Jones, 1997). Use only the authors' surnames and initials in the Literature Cited; place a space between an author's initials. Names of periodicals should be written out in full and should not be italicized. Do not use issue numbers of continuously paginated volumes. Use a hanging indent for multiple lines within one citation (see below for more about hanging indents).  A sample citation of an article by a single author in a serial journal follows: Smith, J. Q. 1981. The distribution of swimming crabs.---Journal of Crustacean Biology 1: 105--119.  A sample citation of an article by two authors follows: Martin, G., and P. Juchault. 1999. Androgenic hormone specificity in terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea): systematic involvements.---Journal of Crustacean Biology 19: 684--689.  A sample citation of an article in an edited work follows: Garth, J. S. 1991. Taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of Galapagos Brachyura. Pp. 123--125 in M. J. James, ed. Galapagos Marine Invertebrates. Plenum Publishing Company, New York.  Some Things To Do or Not To Do When Preparing the Manuscript (also see Guidelines for Submission of Electronic Text Files, below)  Do not use a type size smaller than 12 points.  Do not use boldface type anywhere.  Do not justify the right margin.  Use italics for the scientific names of genera and lower categories; do not use underlining.  Italicize "et al." and fully spelled Latin words such as "sensu" or "ad libitum", but make no other typesetting indications. Do not underline them.  Always italicize the punctuation mark immediately following an italic word.  Do not use running headers on each page of the manuscript; however, number every page in the upper right corner.  Line numbers may be used in the original version in order to facilitate peer review. However, do not use line numbers in the final draft.  Center primary and secondary section headings within the margins; primary headings should be in all capital letters, and secondary headings should be in uppercase and lowercase letters. Tertiary (third-level) headings should be even with the left margin, upper and lower case italic letters, and followed by a period and an em-dash (or three hyphens).  Do not begin a sentence with an abbreviation, especially of a genus-level Latin name of an organism.  Do not use an ampersand (&) for "and", even between authors' names in text citations.  Do not quadruple-space text between paragraphs.  Indent the first line of each paragraph except when a third-level heading is used, which is set flush left on the margin (see above). Do not use the space bar to indent the line; either use the tab key (not preferred) or set a first-line-indent distance in paragraph formatting with the word processor settings (preferred).  In synonymies used in taxonomic papers, use a hanging indent if the references listed after a scientific name extend onto multiple lines (see below for more about hanging indents).  Do not use United States Postal Service initials for states and territories of the United States, even in the author's mailing address; spell the name in full. However, abbreviate District of Columbia as D.C. and use periods in the abbreviation U.S.A.  Place a space between the author's initials in the Literature Cited section (see above).  Do not use issue numbers of continuously paginated volumes in the Literature Cited section (see above).  Shorten the title of your paper by eliminating the author and date of a taxon name (they will appear in the text) and by not using "Crustacea: " within parentheses when giving the classification of the organism (this is the Journal of Crustacean Biology; abstract services will know to place your article in the subject Crustacea).  Include the author and date of publication of each species-level name the first time it appears in the body text or in the tables (but not in the title or abstract).  Provide long tables or appendices of character-state data used in phylogenetic analyses as camera-ready copy or as an electronic image file (not text file), because they will be treated as figures in order to avoid retyping them and introducing errors. Provide the table title for such a table on a separate page, because it will be typeset.  Do not submit long tables or appendices of gene sequences.  Submit sequence data to an appropriate repository (e.g., GenBank) and publish only the accession numbers.  Proofs  The printer will send galley proofs to the corresponding author for correction and approval. Changes other than correcting printer's or editor's errors or for updating references listed as "in press" to add the publication date will be charged to authors.  Printed reprints, available by purchase from the printer only (see Publication costs, above), may be ordered at the time proofs are returned. Artwork will be returned only upon request.   Guidelines for Submission of Text in Electronic Format to JCB  Most manuscripts today are prepared using word-processing software on computers. When these articles are published in Journal of Crustacean Biology, the author is requested to provide a copy of the electronic file along with the final printed version (two copies) of the manuscript. The Editor must mark the hard copy to instruct the printer, but the printer also uses the electronic version to avoid retyping the entire paper. Doing so saves time, reduces errors, and saves The Crustacean Society money. The following guidelines, supplied by our printer, must be followed in order to make use of the electronic document.  Upon first submission, the word processor file, with tables included, preferrably in Miscrosoft Word format, may be submitted to facilitate electronic distribution to the reviewers. In this version, the figures can be embedded in the file or submitted as separate image files that are linked to the word processor file so that the figures appear along with the text when opened in a word processor.  After peer review and manuscript revision, the final file submitted must not have the figures embedded in or linked to the word processor file. In addition to the Word file, or in lieu of it when another word processor software is used, the text should be converted to the Rich Text format (.rtf) and submitted along with two printed copies of the final version.  Media: The printer will accept files created on both Macintosh and IBM-PC compatible computers. All floppy disks must be 3.5-inch, High Density media formatted for Microsoft Operating Systems (MS-DOS, Windows 3.x/95/98/NT/etc.) or Macintosh OS. Files may also be sent on similarly formatted 100 MB Iomega Zip disks or standard (ISO 9660 based) Compact Discs (CD-Rs, but preferrably not CD-RWs). Label all disks with the journal's name, the manuscript number, the first author's name, and the computer operating system used.  When the files are converted for use by the printer's typesetting system, document formatting, such as hyphenation, justification, font and font size, spacing, paragraph formatting, and pagination, are NOT retained. Page-appearance commands such as these are replaced with proprietary commands used by the printer's typesetting system (i.e., SGML code). Keeping the document simple by avoiding linked or embedded objects, images, and other advanced word-processing features usually helps to ensure that the printer can use the file.  When the files are converted for use by the printer's typesetting system, character formatting, such as italics, superscript, and subscript, ARE retained. Therefore, these formatting codes must be used carefully and correctly.  Do not use unusual fonts. Use the Symbol, Times/Times New Roman, Courier/Courier New, or Helvetica/Arial fonts.  Serif fonts are preferred over sans-serif fonts for ease of reading.  Be consistent in the representation of each symbol throughout the document. The correct representation of special symbols is critical if the printer is to use the file.  Distinguish between similar-looking but disparate symbols, such as with the letter "x", a multiplication symbol, and the Greek letter Chi. Use the proper symbol, not the similar-looking letter (i.e., do not use "X" when you mean it to be a multiplication symbol).  The same guidelines apply to minus signs, hyphens, and dashes. Use the special characters for en- and em-dashes (in ranges and for parentheses, respectively); alternatively, use two hyphens for an en-dash and three hyphens for an em-dash (example: "Carapace lengths ranged 21--32 mm.").  In Literature Cited, an em-dash (or three hyphens) should appear between the article title and the journal title within each citation of journal articles (see examples above).  Similarly, an en-dash (or two hyphens) should appear within the range of pages for the article. (Do not italicize journal titles.)  Do not try to create the look of certain characters by creating your own symbol. For example, a superscript letter "o" will not translate as a degrees symbol; it will translate as a superscript "o", which is unacceptable for degrees.  Similarly, an apostrophe will not translate as a minute or prime symbol; a prime mark should be used for minutes in latitude-longitude coordinates.  In the Literature Cited section, do not create a hanging indent by pressing the "enter" or "return" key at the end of each line and the "tab" key at the start of indented lines. Use the software's paragraph formatting feature to make a hanging indent. Otherwise, when the printer translates the file, the line breaks and tabs end up in arbitrary places.  Do not create plus-minus signs by underlining a plus sign. Use the plus-minus symbol instead.  Upon final submission, not all parts of the document should be in one electronic file, as they were upon initial submission. Parts of the document that should be included in a single electronic file are as follows: Running head; Title; Author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s)/ addresses; Abstract; Article body; Acknowledgements; Literature Cited; Non-tabular appendices; and Figure captions.  Upon final submission, figures, tables, table captions (titles for regular tables that are not treated as figures), table captions (titles for tables or appendices that will be treated as figures) and display equations (i.e., equations created with Equation Editor) are processed by the printer separately. Do not include them in the main text file. Either send hard copy of these only or send separate electronic files for each of these parts of a manuscript (one file for each table, etc., properly labeled).  If the electronic version of your table is to be used, you must create them using the word processor's "Table" command or use a single tab (not space bar) between columns and a hard return between rows. Use no rules except those created by the word processor's Table-menu commands (i.e., do not use underlining to create a rule). Use no borders or shading and no text boxes.  For guidelines on the submission of figures electronically, see below. Guidelines for Submitting Electronic Art Files to JCB  The electronic submission of image files is encouraged. However, the files on disk must conform exactly to the following specifications established by the printer and the JCB Editor for the submission of electronic art. Failure to do so will only result in the unnecessary delay of processing an accepted manuscript.  Send electronic art files along with the text files only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.  The figures on disk must be the final size desired (i.e., the size at which each ultimately will be printed), and all mounting must be done electronically. A printout of each image must accompany the disk (in addition to those sent with the original manuscript submission). The JCB Editor or the printer will not resize electronic art. Nor will they balance ("curve") brightness and contrast of electronic images. Therefore, it is incumbent on the author to work with the Editor regarding final size and quality of the images PRIOR to submission of the electronic files to the editorial office. The Editor has final authority over the size at which a figure will be printed.  Dot sizes should range from 4 percent dot (highlight areas) to 96 percent dot (shadow areas) to compensate for the dot gain of the printer's presses.  Indicate the input resolution on any images that have been scanned. Line art must be scanned at 1200 dots per inch (472 dots per centimeter). Halftones must be scanned at 600 dpi (236 dpc). Combination halftones (i.e., continuous grade plus line art) must be scanned at 600 dpi.  Color must be scanned at 350 dpi.  Only Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) or Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) formats for both Macintosh and PC platforms are acceptable. Indicate the file format of the image in the file name (examples: "fig1.tif" or "fig2.eps"). Images in JPEG or GIF format will be 72 dpi and are UNACCEPTABLE for the printing process.  Powerpoint, Excel, DeltaGraph, and other similar files are UNACCEPTABLE for the printing process.  The screen and printer font files for any text added to the figure electronically must be included on the disk. Only Adobe Postscript fonts for either Macintosh or PC platforms are acceptable. Do NOT use True-Type or system "bitmap" fonts.  In EPS files, type can be converted to outlines to avoid the necessity of submitting font files.  Do not send multiple versions of the same figure.  If the files have been compressed, indicate what compression format was used (i.e., Stuffit, WinZip, etc.).  The following disks may be submitted: For Macintosh: 3.5-inch High Density diskettes, Syquest 44, 88, and 200 Mb disks (5.25 inches), 100 MB Iomega Zip disks, Iomega Jaz disks, and CD-R.   For PC: 3.5-inch High Density diskettes, Syquest EZFlyer, 100 MB Iomega Zip disks, Iomega Jaz disks, and CD-R.  Label the disk with the journal name, the manuscript number, the operating system of the computer used (i.e., Macintosh or Windows xx), and the first author's name.  You must submit a printout of the file list that includes the file name(s) and the size and the kind of each file. Each file name must be matched to a figure number. Indicate the file format of each image.   Last updated: June 29, 2003 Editorial Board If you have any questions regarding these instructions, contact the JCB Editor at: tcsjcb@tampabay.rr.com.
