About the journal
Aims and scope
The Journal of Insect Conservation is an international journal devoted to the publication of articles concerned with the conservation of insects and related invertebrates. The Journal of Insect Conservation publishes papers on all aspects of conservation and biodiversity related to the insects and closely related groups such as Arachnids and Myriapods, including ecological work which has conservation implications. Research papers may address the subject at the community, population or species level, may cover aspects of behaviour, taxonomy or genetics, be theoretical or practical, and be local or global in nature. Review articles are welcome as well as points of view which are likely to stimulate debate. From time to time the journal will publish Special Issues on specific subject areas which are the focus of current research. Proposals for such issues are welcome. A particular aim of the journal is to bridge the gap between scientific research and practical conservation. To this end the journal will publish Practical Conservation papers which address the problems of practical conservation management and/or suggest practical conservation strategies. Contributions from all sectors of the conservation community are encouraged. We particularly encourage contributions of any of the above from countries where insect conservation is least developed or on taxa which have received little attention. The journal is produced in association with Butterfly Conservation (The British Butterfly Conservation Society Ltd.), a wildlife charity dedicated to the conservation of lepidoptera and their habitats which was closely involved in developing the concept of the journal. Further information on the Society and its work can be obtained from Butterfly Conservation, e-mail: info@butterfly-conservation.org

Online Manuscript Submission
Springer now offers authors, editors and reviewers of Journal of Insect Conservation the option of using our fully web-enabled online manuscript submission and review system. To keep the review time as short as possible (no postal delays!), we encourage authors to submit manuscripts online to the journal‘s editorial office. Our online manuscript submission and review system offers authors the option to track the progress of the review process of manuscripts in real time. Manuscripts should be submitted to: http://jico.edmgr.com The online manuscript submission and review system for Journal of Insect Conservation offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. This system supports a wide range of submission file formats: for manuscripts - Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTex; for figures - TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, PPT, and Postscript.NOTE: By using the online manuscript submission and review system, it is NOT necessary to submit the manuscript also in printout + disk. In case you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript on line, please get in touch with the responsible Editorial Assistant by clicking on “CONTACT US?from the tool bar. Electronic figuresElectronic versions of your figures must be supplied. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal: line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is. Colour figures can be submitted in the RGB colour system. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier and Helvetica.Colour figuresColour figures may be printed at the author’s expense. Please indicate at submission which figures should be printed in colour, the number of colour pages you prefer and to which address we can send the invoice. In addition, please specify if figures are to appear together on a colour page. LanguageWe appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language is corrected before submission. This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language.Information on the transfer of copyright will be sent to authors on acceptance of their manuscript for publication. The transfer of copyright from author to publisher must be stated in writing before any manuscript can be published.The manuscript must be written in clear and concise English and, for standard papers, should in general comprise:
Where appropriate Results and Discussion may be combined. Illustrations and tables should be selected to illustrate points that cannot be easily described in the text. Short papers for publication in the Practical Conservation Notes section should not contain a summary but should follow the introduction, methods, results, discussion format as much as possible.
Review Process
If an Editor determines that the subject matter falls within the scope of the Journal, he sends it to a Member of the Editorial Board for review by two referees. The Editor decides whether and in what form to accept a paper. Decisions of the Editors are final. The Editor may accept brief contents on a paper which has been published recently in the Journal. Such contents may contain small amounts of supporting data; further illuminate a paper; or take issue with some aspect of a paper.
The Manuscript
Title Page
|
The following information should be provided:(1) a concise and informative title(2) a runing title (maximum of 50 characters)(3) names of the author(s), one given name may be in full; an asterisk should indicate the author responsible for correspondence, (4) name and address of the institute) where the work was done(5) disclaimers(6) full mailing address, telephone and fax numbers and email address of the corresponding author | Summary and Keywords
|
The summary should be comprehensible without reference to the text and not exceed 200 words. The main findings and new and important conservation aspects of the study should be emphasized. Up to five keywords should be submitted for indexing. | Text
|
The Introduction should state the purpose of the paper. It should not review the subject extensively. Methods should be described in detail sufficient to enable the work to be repeated, and suppliers of materials and equipment given, if necessary. Results should be presented in logical sequence, with tables and illustratrons as appropriate. Replications of observations and their statistical significance should be indicated. the data presented in tables and illustrations should not be repeated in the text. The Discussion section should emphasise the implications of the findings for conservation, their limitations, and relevance to other studies; it should not be a recapitulation of the Results. | References1.

Multi-part figures ought to be labelled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references.TablesEach table should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript.
