The length may not exceed 2,000 words and references are to be kept to a minimal set. A map should be included whenever possible.

  5. Field report

    Papers presenting singular discoveries, changes in conservation status, progress reports of conservation projects, new field projects, and short communications of methods or practice. The length may not exceed 2,000 words and references are to be kept to a minimal set.

  6. Research report

    Papers that present the results of original research covering any of the topics suggested above. Articles may not exceed 4,000 words, but may contain any number of appendices of any kind (e.g. tables, graphs, maps, colour photographs, video clips, sound, computer animations, and original data bases).
