Abstract

The abstract should be fewer than 150 words and should not contain subheadings. It should provide a clear, measured, and concise summary of the work. If the biological system (species names or broader taxonomic groups if appropriate) is not mentioned in the title, it must be included in the abstract.

Introduction

We encourage a clear and concise style of writing. Various writing guides are available, including Preparing a Manuscript for Submission to a Biomedical Journal (ICMJE) and The Elements of Style (New York: bartleby.com, 1999).
