About the journal
Aims and Scope
It is the aim of CHEMOECOLOGY to promote and stimulate the field of chemical ecology by publishing research papers that integrate ecology and chemistry in an attempt to increase our understanding of the biological significance of natural products. Its scope is the evolutionary biology of chemically-mediated biotic interactions, including mechanistic approaches as well as environmental aspects. Manuscripts on trophic relationships, intra- and interspecific communication, competition, and other kinds of chemical communication in all types of organismic interactions will be considered suitable for publication. Mechanistic approaches should deal with the identification, biosynthesis and metabolism of substances which carry information and with the elucidation of receptor- and transduction systems, biochemical, molecular and physiological techniques. Results of investigations on the response and adaptation of organisms to anthropogenic compounds or to their degradation products will be considered for publication as long as ecological phenomena are involved. Except in the case of manuscripts dealing with subjects of wide interest strictly methodological or purely chemical and descriptive contributions without conceptual interpretations will not be considered. Before submitting a manuscript, authors should feel free to contact the Editors-in-Chief or the Associate Editors regarding the appropriateness of the work for CHEMOECOLOGY.

Reviews
"Chemoecology (...) was relaunched in 1998, with new editors but an unbroken series of volume numbers. The first new volume covers a wide range of organisms, with a good balance between those of land and sea, but there is a preponderance of insects and plants. (...) Chemically mediated systems can offer unique opportunities for researchers to investigate hot evolutionary topics, for example in sexual selection and the evolution of mate communication.
Paradoxically, as chemical ecology becomes more mainstream, the challenge for journals like Chemoecology is to attract authors from higher-impact evolution and ecology journals. An important factor will be the likelihood of articles being found by online electronic searches."
Tristram D. Wyatt, Nature, Vol. 401, Sept. 1999
Instructions to Authors
Authorship
Submission of a manuscript implies
that the work described has not been published before;
that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere;
that its publication has been approved by all coauthors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out;
that, if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors agree to automatically transfer the copyright to the publisher; and
that the manuscript will not be published elsewhere in any language without the consent of the copyright holder.
Guidelines for Manuscript Preparation
All pages should be numbered consecutively, including references, tables and figure legends. Inadequate presentation may give grounds for immediate rejection. The following layout should be used:
Title Page
A separate title page should give the names and full postal addresses of authors, clearly indicating which address relates to which author. The author to whom correspondence is to be addressed should be indicated separately. To ensure rapid publication please indicate fax and/or e-mail number for fast communication.
Please specify a maximum of five keywords plus taxa [up to class(es)] and provide a running head (not longer than 40 characters including spaces).
Abstract
An abstract which enumerates the principal facts and conclusions should accompany each paper. It should be specific and clear without reference to the rest of the text, and should suit the requirements of abstracting services. Reviews and mini-reviews should provide an abstract addressing the main facts and arguments.
Illustrations and Tables
Figures and tables should be used only where they clarify or reduce the text. The same material should never be presented in both table and figure form; where the two are equal in clarity, the figure is preferable. Each illustration should be numbered serially with Arabic numerals and provided with a concise, descriptive legend, intelligible without reference to the text. Subunits of composed figures should be labelled with boldface letters, not with roman numerals, brackets, or so. Figure legends should be listed at the end of the typescript, starting with a separate sheet.
Each figure and table must be referred to in the text. Indicate in the margin of the manuscript where figures and tables are to be inserted. Figure lettering must be legible; letters at least 2 mm high in the desired final size are required.
For line drawings, including molecular structures, good quality glossy prints in the desired final size are preferred. Ink drawings about twice the final reproduction size are accepted as well. All lines should be of uniform thickness, with lettering corresponding in size. Computer printed diagrams/structures can be accepted only if of excellent quality and high contrast.
Photographs and micrographs should be submitted in the desired final size as well-contrasted glossy prints, trimmed precisely at right angles and labelled with rub-on characters of appropriate size. Micrographs should have an internal magnification marker, and the magnification is to be stated in the legend.
Coloured illustrations can be printed by special arrangements, at the author's expense.
Tables should be typed individually on separate sheets together with an explanatory legend.
References
References should be presented according to the journal's preferred bibliographic style. The list of references should be given in strict alphabetic order. Only papers referred to in the text are allowed in the list of references. Journal titles should be abbreviated in the usual fashion.

Papers «in press?may be cited provided the publishing journal is named. Unpublished results, papers submitted or in preparation and personal communications must be mentioned in the text only; they are not to be included in the reference list. Personal communications may be used only when written authorisation from the communicator is submitted.
Units of measurements should conform to the SI System (Système International d'Unités).
Taxonomic names, genus and species should be underlined for italics. When first mentioned, names of organisms should be given unabbreviated, with the author and, in parentheses, name of order and family. Later, generic names should be abbreviated.
Submission of Manuscripts
It is understood that the corresponding author is responsible for obtaining agreement of all coauthors of the manuscript submitted to Chemoecology. A covering letter should contain a statement to that effect.
Manuscripts should be written in English. All text, including figure legends, tables and references, should be typed double-spaced. An original and 2 paper copies should be submitted along with a copy on disc. The authors are also strongly encouraged to e-mail their first submission to the Editors when they mail their manuscript. The date of submission will be taken as the date of e-mail. Preferred formats for the text are Microsaft Word (PC or Macintosh).
Texts on disc should be delivered in either DOS or Macintosh format.
They should be saved and delivered in two separate versions:
1. With standard text format as offered by your word processing program, and
2. in Rich Text Format (RTF) or, as a last resort, as an ASCII file.
The final hard copy of the manuscript should be submitted together with the disc. The electronic and printed version must be absolutely identical.
All pictorial and graphic illustrations should be delivered as hard copy originals and must be 200% of the final printed size.
Digital drawings and graphs should be submitted in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or Tag Image File Format (TIFF) form. A hard copy for ready viewing should be included.
Back-up copies of the disc must be kept.
Discs must be adequately protected for transport.
Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate to the Editors-in-Chief:

The Editorial Process
Authors will be notified of manuscript receipt. Manuscripts will be assessed by two or more reviewers. If authors wish, manuscripts can be sent out for review anonymously. Referees' comments will remain anonymous unless referees explicitly request to be named. Page proofs will be sent to the author after the manuscript has been typeset.
Galley Proofs
Unless indicated otherwise, galley proofs will be sent to the first-named author directly from Birkhäuser Verlag AG and should be returned with the least possible delay. Textual alterations made in the galley proof stage will be charged to the author. Proof-reading should be restricted to the correction of typographical errors. If necessary, a «Note added in proof?might be allowed if space is available. Proofs should be corrected immediately upon receipt and returned to the Publisher. If proofs are not returned promptly, the manuscript may be published without the benefit of proof corrections. One copy of the corrected proof is to be returned immediately to
