 Notice to contributors
Aims and scope
African Journal of Ecology publishes papers concerning the ecology and conservation of the
African flora and fauna. Papers should report the results of primary research but each issue
may also contain an invited review paper in the general field of African ecology.
Data Protection
By submitting a manuscript to or reviewing for this publication, your name, email address,
and affiliation, and other contact details the publication might require, will be used for the
regular operations of the publication, including, when necessary, sharing with the publisher
(Wiley) and partners for production and publication. The publication and the publisher
recognize the importance of protecting the personal information collected from users in
the operation of these services, and have practices in place to ensure that steps are taken to
maintain the security, integrity, and privacy of the personal data collected and processed. You
can learn more at https://authorservices.wiley.com/statements/data-protection-policy.html.
Submission of manuscripts
Papers should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/afje. Full upload in-
structions and support are available online from the submission site via the ‘Get Help Now’
button. Please submit your covering letter or comments to the editor when prompted online.
Retain the original figures until the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
Contributions should be limited to 3500 words for full papers, or to 1000 words for Notes and
Records, exclusive of tables, figures and references. The number of words must be stated on
the title page of the article.
Preparation of manuscripts
On the editorial side, authors are asked to ensure the following:
1. The manuscript must conform exactly to the African Journal of Ecology’s house-style,
checking that all reference citations in the text match those in the References, and all figures,
tables and appendices are cited in the text. For a copy of the Instructions to Authors, please
visit http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/aje.
2. If applicable, please ensure that the authorities are correctly cited using Authors of Plant
Names by R K Brummitt and C E Powell (Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, 1992; ISBN 947-643-
44-3) or visit www.ipni.org.
3. Wiley Blackwell has now introduced clearer guidelines for the preparation of digital
artwork. Please refer to these before submitting your revised manuscript. They can be found
by visiting http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp.
Manuscripts that fail to conform to the above will be returned for further revision.
Title Page: This should contain: 1, Title; 2, Names of author(s); 3, Full postal address(es);
4, Six keywords for indexing purposes (full papers only); 5, Name of corresponding author, to
whom proofs will be sent; 6, Running title of no more than 45 characters, including spaces.
Full Papers: These should be structured as follows beginning each section on a separate
sheet. 1, Title page (as above); 2, Abstract of not more than 200 words; 3, Introduction;
4, Materials and Methods; 5, Results; 6, Discussion; 7, Acknowledgements (optional but
brief); 8, References; 9, Tables; 10, Figure Legends; 11, Figures. Appendices are not permitted.
Displayed items (tables and figures) should be limited to six.
Notes and Records: The above format should be followed except that no Abstract is required
and the Results and Discussion sections may be conflated if so desired. No more than three
displayed items (tables and figures) should be included.
Spelling and grammar: Authors must ensure that spelling and grammar are correct. Particular
attention should be paid to scientific names and author citations. Manuscripts with spelling
and grammar mistakes will be returned to the authors.
Reviewer suggestions: Obtaining feedback from reviewers is the main cause of delay in
publishing manuscripts. It is very helpful if authors can suggest 2–3 reviewers who are
competent and willing to review the manuscript.Wealso routinely ask AJE authors to review
manuscripts. If you are asked to review a paper please try to reply promptly with constructive
and useful comments.
Journal Conventions: Vernacular names should be in lower case and be accompanied by the
scientific names in italics on first mention. The authority for the name should also be included.
Foreign words and names of muscles etc. are italicized. SI units are preferred. Measurements
should be given in figures, e.g. 10 cm, except when beginning a sentence. A number which is
not a unit of measurement is spelled out unless it is greater than twenty.
Illustrations: Good quality drawings or glossy prints of figures should be provided. They should
be unlabelled and any lettering shown on an overlay or on a photocopy. Computer-generated
diagrams should be printed on good quality paper with a laser or high-quality inkjet printer
using a minimum of 600 dpi. Photographs are acceptable if essential to the text. They should
be original (i.e. not re-photographed), half-tone prints, unmounted with lettering indicated
on overlays or photocopies. Magnification should be given where appropriate. Colour prints
are acceptable only at the author’s expense. A scale should be included on all maps and
the direction of north indicated. Where possible, digital versions of your figures should be
included on the disk submitted after acceptance. Ideally these should be sent as TIFF or EPS
format. Avoid using tints if possible; if they are essential to the understanding of the figure,
try to make them coarse as this aids their clear reproduction. For more details on submission
of electronic artwork, please see http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp
A copy of the colour work agreement form which must be included with all papers containing
colour images can be downloaded from http://media.wiley.com/assets/7130/56/SN_
Sub2000_F_CoW.pdf. Details of charges are givenonthe form.
The journal allows authors to publish figures in colour free of charge in the online edition.
Authors must provide their figures in digital format (EPS or TIF files at high resolution) and
indicate to the Editorial Office that they wish to publish in Black & White in the print edition
and in colour in the online edition. In this case, (a) a single version of the figure should be
supplied in colour which will be converted by the publishers to black and white for the print
journal and (b) the figure legend should not refer to colour as it will be used for both versions.
If you wish to submit a cover image, please send this along with your manuscript at the time
of submission. If your image is chosen, you will not be charged for colour work.
References in Articles
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference
management and formatting.
EndNote reference styles can be searched for here:
http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp
Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here:
http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
Extensive reference lists are to be avoided and only essential citations should be included.
References should follow the APA sixth edition and should be indicated in the text by the
name of the author(s) with year of publication. Examples: one author: Gabriel (2000) and
(Gabriel, 2000); two authors: (Mathes & Severa, 2004) and Mathes and Severa (2004); three
to five authors (first occurrence): Waterman, Roman, and Rock (1993) and (Waterman,
Roman, & Rock 1993); three to five authors (subsequent occurrence): Waterman et al.
(1993) and (Waterman et al., 1993); six or more authors: Smith et al. (1999) and (Smith
et al., 1999). Do not delete the year in the indirect repeated citations. Example: Several
studies (Smith & John, 2005a, 2005b; Smith 2003a, 2003b). If two references with same
year shorten to the same form, cite the surnames of the first authors and of as many of the
subsequent authors as necessary to distinguish the two references, followed by a comma
and et al. Example – Bradley, Ramirez, and Soo (1994) and Bradley, Soo, et al. (1994); if
two references with six or more authors shorten to the same form, cite the surnames of the
first authors and of as many of the subsequent authors as necessary to distinguish the two
references, followed by a comma and et al. for example if references ‘Barrett, Koenig, Cave,
Tang, Lane, and Gabriel (1996)’ and ‘Barrett, Koenig, Wood, Kengman, Mosy, and Daly
(1996)’ appears in list, then these can be cited, respectively, as follows: Barrett, Koenig,
Cave, et al. (1996) and Barrett, Koenig, Wood, et al. (1996). References should be listed,
double spaced, in alphabetical order and in the form of the following examples.

Conflict of Interest
African Journal of Ecology requires that all authors disclose any potential sources of conflict
of interest. Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise, that might be perceived as
influencing an author’s objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of interest.
These must be disclosed when directly relevant or indirectly related to the work that the
authors describe in their manuscript. Potential sources of conflict of interest include but
are not limited to patent or stock ownership, membership of a company board of directors,
membership of an advisory board or committee for a company, and consultancy for or receipt
of speaker’s fees from a company.
The existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication in this journal.
It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to review this policy with all authors
and to collectively list in the cover letter and in the manuscript (under the Acknowledgment
section) ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships.
African Journal of Ecology is a member of and subscribes to the principles of the Committee
