Submission of a paper is taken to imply that it has not been previously published and that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of a paper, the author will be asked to transfer copyright to the Cambridge Philosophical Society. There are no page charges. Style and content Articles should be critical assessments of fields of research, of value to specialists in the field and comprehensible to biologists in general. Those presenting a new theory or point of view are preferred.
All articles are subject to refereeing.
Most published papers are in the range of 5,000 to 20,000 words, but shorter or longer reviews are acceptable. Articles should be written in English. The generic name of a species should be given in full the first time it occurs in a paragraph. The author authority for each species is desirable on its first mention. In general, chemical formulae may not be used as abbreviations in the text.
