Use the abbreviation s.d. when the date is not provided.
Numbers and units - use abbreviations of measurements units whenever possible; for composed units use exponentials instead of bars (ex.: mg day-1 instead of mg/day, µg L-1 instead of µg/L), leaving a space between number and unit (ex. 200 g; 50 m); do not insert spaces in coordinates (ex.: 23o46'S and 46o18'W).
For approximate measure use circa (ca. 5 cm); for a range of measures do not use circa (2-5 cm); for approximate form use ca. (ca. 3 × 5 cm); for temperature (20 oC); for a percentage value only (60%); variation range to percentages (30 - 50%).
Literature cited - list of the authors in bold letters and in alphabetical order, capitalizing only the initials; citations of the same author or combination of authors should follow chronological order for a set of references with the same first author; work of the author alone must be cited first then the author with one co-author, and finally the author with two or more co-authors.

In the bar graphs indicate the conventions of the bars in the figure title. The maximum length of each figure or group of figures should be 230 mm, including the title; width can be adjusted to one or two columns (81 or 172 mm). The originals should be prepared on the final size or be proportional to a maximum of two times the publication size (the dimensions of the printed page are 230 mm long and 172 mm wide). Plates containing original ink drawings should be presented on a good quality white/drawing paper. Lines and letters must be sharp enough to allow reduction. Only good quality, black and white figures will be accepted. Magnifications (metric system) must be indicated with scale bars clearly shown in the left side of the figures. Use Times New Roman font in the titles of figures and graphics. Digital figures are accepted in .tif format with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi and must not be embedded in MS Word.
