GENERAL MANUSCRIPT FORMAT AND STYLE FOR URSUS
For general style guidance, we suggest that authors follow one of the recent CSE/CBE Style Manuals on scientific style and formatting. For spelling, please see Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, unabridged. Ursus staff will take care of the majority of petty formatting and style details during the copyediting process at the editorial office; however, we request that authors please follow these minimal instructions: (1) please double-space the entire manuscript (including Literature cited) with 3-cm (or 1-inch) margins, and use Times New Roman 12-point font; (2) please follow instructions for formatting figures and tables (given below); (3) please make sure citations are as complete as possible. Authors are encouraged to consult recent issues of Ursus for style and format. Contact the Editor if you have general questions. Specific questions regarding formatting should be directed to the Editorial Assistant, Tracy Estabrook Boal (teboal@yahoo.com).

Abstract: All manuscripts (except Short Communications) should have an abstract of no more than 300 words. Short Communications should include an abstract of no more than 150 words. The abstract should concisely state the goals, methods, principal results, and major conclusions of the article. Incomplete and uninformative descriptions (e.g., ‘‘a new method of analysis was given’’) should not be in the abstract. Use only well-recognized acronyms (e.g., GIS, DNA) and define them at first use. Avoid detailing results of statistical tests in the Abstract. Abstracts in Spanish may be provided by the author when appropriate. For abstracts in other non-English languages, please contact the Editor in advance. Supply 8–12 key words for indexing: vernacular and scientific names of principal organisms, geographic area, phenomena and entities studied, and methods.
Key words: climate change, diet, food habits, grizzly bear, Montana, nutritional ecology, stable isotopes, Ursus arctos
Ursus allows latitude for formatting manuscripts to most effectively convey information. Generally, authors should provide an introduction (without a heading) that provides the background for the study. Typically, the following sections are included in manuscripts that provide analyses of scientific studies: an ‘Introduction’ (no heading needed), followed by ‘Methods,’ ‘Results,’ and ‘Discussion.’ However, these categories are not necessarily appropriate for some papers. A ‘Management implications’ section may be included when appropriate, but is not mandatory.
Primary (no. 1) headings are initial cap and bold font
Indented text begins on next line. Primary headings include Study area, Methods, Results, Discussion, Management implications, Acknowledgments, and Literature cited.
Secondary (no. 2) headings should be initial cap, bold and italic font.
Indented text begins on next line.
Tertiary (no. 3) headings are tab-indented, bold and italicized, initial cap only, period at the end. Text is run in.
Study area
Do not combine Study area section with Methods. Please describe Study area in present tense.
Methods (or Materials and methods)
Methods should be concise, clear, and detailed enough that the study could be accurately replicated by readers. Use subheadings for clarity, if needed. Please describe methods using “active” voice (i.e., “We developed…” not “A protocol was developed…”).
Internal style
List manufacturer name and location when mentioning specific equipment (e.g., Advanced Telemetry Systems, Isanti, Minnesota, USA).
Animal Care and Use Committee approval numbers go in this section.
Use metric units for measurements. For conversions of trade terms and other terms that may be ambiguous, show English equivalents in parentheses.
Scientific names
Do not use in the title or for names of domesticated animals or cultivated plants.
In the abstract and text, accompany the first mention of a vernacular name with its scientific name. Reserve use of subspecies names for situations in which the subspecies is an important part of the information conveyed.
Results
We encourage authors to emphasize biological and ecological relationships, magnitude of effects, and numerical metrics and meaning of observations, as opposed to relying on simple reportage of statistical coefficients (which can be reported in tables and figures). Again, please use active voice to report results, where possible.
Discussion
If possible, authors should refrain from repeating Results in the Discussion; instead, authors can address the meaning of their results in relation to other similar studies. We recommend that authors avoid speculation outside the appropriate inference of their own data.
Management Implications
This section is not necessary, but if appropriate for your manuscript, you may include it. This section should not include repetition of Discussion material, but should instead be a short (typically 1 paragraph) summary of how your results might be useful to wildlife managers.
Acknowledgments
We drew on several sources when compiling these guidelines, particularly The Wildlife Society guidelines for the Journal of Wildlife Management (Block et al. 2011, http://joomla.wildlife.org/documents/JWMguidelines2011.pdf; Chamberlain and Johnson 2007, http://www.fws.gov/rcwrecovery/pdfs/jwm_guidelines.pdf) and the Wildlife Society Bulletin (Wallace and Boal 2014, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1938-5463a/homepage/WSB_condensed_author_guidelines_and_doc_template_9_July_2014_FINAL.doc), and also on L. Brennan’s 2012 editorial on the subject of effective editing and manuscript presentation (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.149/pdf). We appreciate the previous work of these authors.
Literature cited
In text, references are listed first by date, and then alphabetically (Smith et al. 1984, Estabrook 2005, Johnson 2005). Show page numbers for quotations (Smith et al. 1984:22), paraphrases, and citations of specific mathematical or statistical formulas. Use lowercase letters for references with same author(s) and year (Smith et al. 1983a, b; Johnson 2005).
In Literature cited, please list alphabetically by last name of author, then by first initial of authors with the same last name, then by last name(s) of co-authors, and finally by year. Spell out all titles and book or journal names. Article and journal titles of non-English citations should be in the original language; an English translation should be added if possible. Non-English citations must cite the language of publication in brackets at the end of the citation.
