How to submit a contribution to the IV SymTermes

SymTermes accepts full papers or single abstracts. Upon acceptance, both contributions will receive a DOI number and become part of the SymTermes Community at Zenodo.org. Accepted full papers will appear in Sociobiology's Special Issue on termites. When writing your abstract, pay attention to the abstract content, not to its aesthetics. For italics, use LaTeX standards: \textit{Cornitermes cumulans}. Studies can focus on any aspect of Termitology. Studies using termites as model-organisms on areas other than Termitology can also be accepted, at the discretion of the Committee. Abstracts must include original results from scientific research. We will not accept research proposals, records of species in new localities, or non-scientific and speculative studies. Nomenclatural acts can only be accepted in full papers, at Sociobiology's discretion. Abstracts must be informative, not suggestive: a clear hypothesis or straightforward aim must be declared. We suggest to experimental studies: 2-3 lines for introduction, 2-3 lines for methods and the other lines to write results, discussion and conclusions. The above structure can change, however, it is strongly recommended to clearly present the results in addition to a conclusion indicating how would such results change current knowledge. Abstracts must not exceed 250 words. Acknowledge funding in the last line of the abstract. Funding: CRBio, Vale, Fapemig.
