About the journal
Zoological Studies, a quarterly journal (formerly Bulletin of the Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica) and receives research papers from Taiwan and overseas. For the past two years, the journal published about eighty papers from twenty-nine universities/research organizations that are located in ten different countries/districts.
Zoological Studies enjoys worldwide circulation and has been chosen by the international database "Current Contents " and "SCI" for some years. It is one of a very few scientific journals published in Taiwan that receives international recognition. For the past few years, it has been awarded "The most Excellent National Scientific Journal" by our government research funding council, the "National Science Council".
Since 1994, our Journal has been renamed "Zoological Studies", it received a face lift and improved printing quality. Furthermore, renowned scientists from all over the world are invited as our Journal Editorial Board Members or paper reviewers in order to improve the academic level of our Journal.
Instructions to Authors
Zoological Studies (Zool. Stud.) publishes original research papers in the broad field of zoology. Manuscripts are welcome from any country, but must be written in English. Authors who submit exceptionally long manuscripts may be asked to defray a portion of related printing cost. Colored photographs can be printed at the author's expense. This journal will provide 100 free reprints of accepted articles per publication; additional reprints will be available at the author's expense.
With the exception of invited review papers, submissions must include a cover letter stating that the paper is based on previously unpublished original research and has not been submitted to another journal for publication. If the paper concerns the use of the animals or specimens in research, a statement to the effect that the author (s) has adhered to the legal requirements of the country in which the work was carried out or to any institutional guidelines should be included. Original manuscripts plus two photocopies-including camera-ready figures-should be sent to the editorial office with "MANUSCRIPT" clearly written on the envelope. Authors are encouraged to provide the names and contact addresses of three possible reviewers.
Authors of accepted papers must submit final revised versions of their manuscripts both on computer disk and in hard copy format. Computer files should be sent in ASCII format. Hard copy printouts must exactly match the disk file. The editorial office will not accept disks without accompanying hard copies of all disk files. As this journal is printed from these computer files, authors must ensure the accuracy of their contents. Those authors who do not have appropriate computer facilities should inform the editorial office early on.
The Editorial Board has final authority concerning acceptance or rejection of any manuscript.
As a condition of publication, all authors' copyright automatically belongs to Zoological Studies. If the author (s) does not have clear title to the copyright of any part of the manuscript, it is the sole responsibility of the author (s) to obtain written permission from the copyright holder and present it to the editor of Zoological Studies.
The following format guidelines should be followed for all papers submitted.
¡¡
I. Submission of Electronic Manuscripts for Review
The preferred method of manuscript submission is via e-mail as electronic files to the Editorial Office: zoolstud@gate.sinica.edu.tw. The text should be submitted as a PDF file (for reviewers) and possible a Microsoft Word file (for Associate Editors and Assistant Editors). The MS Word file is highly recommended and may help speed the review process by allowing editors to insert comments on the electronic copy. For review, illustrations should be included at the end of the same PDF file as the text but for publication of accepted manuscripts, separate text and illustration files will be requested as described below. If a PDF is sent, figures need not be included in the MS Word version. To reduce PDF file size for most efficient transmission, embed fonts, use the ¡°optimize¡± function in Adobe Acrobat (or other program), and use no more than 300 dpi for figures.
To aid the Editor in file management, please start all filenames with the same of the first author; it would also be useful to include the date: e.g., Randall_et_al_4Sep02.doc (spell out month to avoid confusion).
Important: Please place the date of submission on the top right corner of the title page and change the date on subsequent revisions
All corresponding authors will receive a confirmation of manuscript receipt via e-mail. Authors who have not received a confirmation within on week should check with the editorial office. After electronic submission have been examined and determined to be appropriate for ZS, one paper copy will be requested for our records. Manuscripts will be sent electronically to reviewers, who will return them the same way.

II. Contribution for the taxonomic papers
Taxonomic papers submitted to Zoological Studies should follow the style manual of this journal stated as followings:
1. Upon the first mention of a species or lower taxon in both the abstract and text, the author of an animal taxon must be cited using the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature convention. Do not abbreviate the generic name of a taxon upon first mention. The names of authors of taxa must not be abbreviated except for Linnaeus (as L.) and Fabricius (as Fabr.). Multiple authorship for taxa should substitute an et or ampersand (&) for ¡°and¡± between the names.
When citing authors of taxa, citation of the year is optional; if used, however, the year must be enclosed within parentheses and the citation must be considered a reference citation within the article and be listed in the references.
2. New taxa or synonymies that are erected should be clearly and appropriately marked as: comb. n., com. rev., nom. n., sp. n., stat. n., stat. rev., syn. n. etc. New taxa must be listed with the name of the describing author (s), even it is the same as the manuscript author, after the binomial.
3. Types: Descriptions and revisions also require comments on the types involved. Comments on types are to be in a separate paragraph, and their data and deposition.
4. Keys: Keys are not required in taxonomic work, but are highly recommended. When presented, keys must be concise, clear, easy to follow and have reversibility provisions. Keys must also be in adjacent couplet style, and each couplet should contain preferably more than a single, nonoverlapping attribute.
5. Material examined: Holotype and paratype(s) must be designated if a new taxon published. Allotype is not necessary. Collecting site, number of specimens examined, sex, date, collector should be stated.
III. Title Page
The title page should include: manuscript title; names of all authors; address (es) of where the research was conducted and, if different, all current addresses of the authors including fax and e-mail if available; a short running title of less than 40 characters; name, address, telephone and fax numbers where con-respondence should be sent; no more than five keywords preferably not already in the title.
IV. Abstract
Abstracts must have fewer than 300 words and must be written in English. Each abstract should clearly state the purpose of the study, important methodology employed in conducting the research, major results, and conclusions.
V. Text
The typewritten text should be double-spaced and have a minimum of 1.5 inch margins. Scientific names should be italicized or underlined. Manuscripts should include the following sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Acknowledgements. Authors should mark their desired placement of all tables and figures; figures referred to in the text should be abbreviated (e.g., Fig. 1, Fig. 2a, etc.).
VI. References
References may be cited in text using the following formats: Smith (1992), (Smith 1992), Smith et al. (1992), (Smith et al. 1992), or (Smith 1978 1983 1992, Jones 1990). Bibliographic citations should be arranged alphabetically according to the surname of the primary author, and formatted as in the following examples:

VII. Tables
Tables should not duplicate material found in the text or in accompanying illustrations. Tables must be numbered consecutively in the order of mention in the text, and be described in brief but complete legends. All tables must be typed double-spaced without vertical rules, one table per page. All symbols or abbreviations used must be briefly and clearly explained in table footnotes marked as a, b, c, etc.
Asterisks should be used to indicate levels of significance (single asterisk for p¨Q0.05, double asterisks for p¨Q0.01, and triple asterisks for p¨Q0.001).
VIII. Figures
Figures should be in finished form and ready for reproduction; lettering should be in Helvetica or other font consistant with the style of Zoological Studies. Figures should be consecutively numbered using Arabic numerals according to the order of mention in the text. Figures should be appropriately lettered and labelled with letters and numbers which will be at least 1.5 mm high in the final reproduction. Units of measurement for each axis are to be typed in lower case letters and enclosed in parentheses. Figures must also be identified on the reverse side of each sheet with the author's name, figure number, and orientation ("top"). Maximum size for all originals should not exceed the size of a printed page.
High-quality original artwork or glossy prints should be submitted for reproduction mounted on appropriate mounting cards. Authors may indicate their size preferences on the back of each figure (i.e., two-column width, "do not reduce," etc.). All lines must be dark and sharply drawn. Reproductions may be used for review copies of manuscripts. For continuous-tone prints (photographs, etc.), three sets must be submitted. For reproductions, one set should be mounted on an appropriate mounting card, while the other two sets may be mounted on regular paper. Continuous-tone prints should be submitted at the magnification to be used in the published paper and trimmed to conform to page size. Please note that photocopies of photomicrographs are not acceptable for review purposes.
IX. Figure Legends
Each figure should be accompanied by a title and explanatory figure legend. All associated descriptive legends should be typed (double-spaced) on a separate sheet; sufficient detail should be given in each legend to make it intelligible without referring to the text.
X. Nucleotide and Protein Sequences
Newly reported nucleotide or protein sequences must be deposited in databases (DDBJ, EMBL, GenBank), and accession number(s) should be included in the appropriate place in the test.
