Aims & ScopePerspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics is a younginternational journal which provides a platform for reviews andlonger research articles in the fi elds of ecology, evolution andsystematics of plants. The journal is supported by the Rübel Foundation, a private trust associated with the Institute of Integrative Biology of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. The foundation looks back on a continuous tradition of publishing for more than 70 years and is widely known and respected for a number of classic publications in European plant ecology and systematics.Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics• Focus on the ecology, evolution and systematics of plants• Informed perspectives on themes of current interest and debate• Full length reviews• Essay reviews• Longer research articles• Applied as well as pure science

Instructions to authors Perspectivesin Plant Ecology,Evolution andSystematics
General informationThe journal publishes articles of general interest to an international readership in the fi elds of plant ecology, evolution and systematics. There are six issues per year. The following types of article will be considered:
• Full length reviews• Essay reviews• Longer research articles.
To maintain high scientifi c standards manuscripts are submitted to two or more reviewers for evaluation of their scientifi c soundness and signifi cance. Authors will be generally notifi ed of acceptance, rejection, or need for revision of their manuscripts within three months.
Biological Flora of Central Europe: PPEES is particularly interested in contributions to the knowledge of species that are fl agship species for conservation, invasive species of particular concern, or species that are frequently used as models in ecological research. Prospective authors should contact the editorial offi ce of PPEES before starting to write a contribution and enquire whether their planned manuscript would be of interest to PPEES.
All manuscripts should be submitted electronically through Elsevier Editorial System (EES) which can be accessed at: http://ees.elsevier.com/ppees.
Copyright. Once a paper is accepted, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright, see http://www.elsevier.com.authorsrights). A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided after acceptance. If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article.
Open Access. This journal offers you the option of making your article freely available to all via the ScienceDirect platform. To prevent any confl ict of interest, you can only make this choice after receiving notifi cation that your article has been accepted for publication. The fee of $3,000 excludes taxes and other potential author fees such as color charges. In some cases, institutions and funding bodies have entered into agreement with Elsevier to meet these fees on behalf of their authors. Details of these agreements are available at http://www.elsevier.com/fundingbodies. Authors of accepted articles, who wish to take advantage of this option, should complete and submit the order form (available at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/openaccessform.pdf). Whatever access option you choose, you retain many rights as an author, including the right to post a revised personal version of your article on your own website. More information can be found here: http://www.elsevier.com/authorsrights.
Preparation of manuscripts. Manuscripts should be written in either British or American English. Please, include your complete postal address and email address, and a cover letter that briefl y describes why the enclosed work is of general interest to readers of PPEES.
All parts of the manuscript must be typed double-spaced, with margins of 2.5 cm (on either A4 or US format). The beginning of a paragraph should be indented. Pages of the manuscript should be numbered consecutively beginning with the title page. Use left line numbering for the text only after the title page, with numbers appearing every 5 lines. The abstract should not exceed 300 words and must be factual and fully comprehensible without reference to the text. Please provide up to six keywords or short phrases that are not included in the title. Footnotes are discouraged; abbreviations and symbols must be defi ned when fi rst mentioned. Generic and specifi c names should be written in italics. Give the full genus name and species authority on fi rst mention only. Authors should use the International System of Units (SI System). If in doubt about form, contents or style of a review or research paper, you should consult a recent issue of PPEES or contact the Managing Editor.
Tables and fi gures should be on separate sheets and be numbered in arabic numerals and cited consecutively in the text. The contents of the tables should be fully explained by the headings. A high quality black and white copy of all fi gures should be submitted.
Upon acceptance fi gures should also be provided in a disk version, if available (EPS or TIFF format, fi nal resolution 300 dpi for halftones, 600–1200 dpi for black/white line drawings). Figures should be large enough to permit reduction. Important points to note are: thickness of lines, size of inscriptions and symbols, adequate spacing of dotted and shaded areas.
Photographs should be black and white, of high contrast and sharp. The scale should be indicated by a small bar. Inscriptions, marks and scale bars must be drawn in an appropriate size on the face of the illustrations. Plan all fi gures to suit a column width of 8.8 cm or a page width of 18.2 cm.
Free colour reproduction. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour fi gures then Elsevier will ensure, at no
additional charge, that these fi gures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. Colour fi gures can be printed only if the costs are covered by the author (€250 for fi rst colour fi gure, €200 for every following colour fi gure). For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
References. When quoting references in the text, “et al.” should be used in the case of more than two authors. Several papers by the same author published in the same year should be distinguished in the text and in the list of references by a,b,c, etc. in the order quoted in the text. When papers are cited which were not published in a language using the Roman alphabet (e.g. Russian Cyrillic etc.), then the author, title and the periodical name itself must be transliterated using standards like ISO 1 or ISO 2 (cf. Nicolson 1981, Taxon 30: 168–183). The appropriate style of the references is shown in the following examples:
