About the journal
SPIXIANA publishes original contributions to zoology, preferably to the fields of taxonomy, morphology, phylogeny, and zoogeography. One volume with two issues is published each year. Monographs can be published as SPIXIANA Supplement.
Instructions to Authors
The journal considers manuscripts written in English, German, or French. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically as e-mail attachment to one of the managing editors (insects: Stefan.Schmidt@zsm.mwn.de; other invertebrates and vertebrates: Melzer@zsm.mwn.de), or to spixiana@zsm.mwn.de.
The organisation of the manuscript should be as follows: Title, Author(s), Address(es), Abstract (max 300 words), Text, Acknowledgments, References, Appendix, Tables, Figure Captions, Figures. The text should be in Word or RTF format with a minimum of character and paragraph formatting (e.g. italics for genus and species names, and bold for headings). Tables can be created using the table function of the word processor but should not contain merged cells or new line characters. Identification keys should be formatted using tabulators. Avoid using blank spaces for adjusting text. Capitalization should be avoided except for abbreviations of depositories. The editors reserve the right to make minor textual changes that do not alter the author's meaning. The name, postal address, and e-mail of the corresponding author should be given on the first page. All papers must conform to the latest edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The original author and date of a taxon name should be cited at least once (e.g. at first mention). If possible, representative material from contributions published in SPIXIANA should be deposited in the Zoologische Staatssammlung.
Digital photographs and other half-tone images should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi at the final image size. Line drawings should be scanned at a resolution of 1200 dpi as black and white (not greyscale) images. Illustrations can be compiled to plates. Printing of figures in colour is available at author's cost.
In-text citations should be in the form (Glaw & Vences 2003, Meyer 2003, Arratia el al. 1996). References should be listed at the end of the paper using the following format:
