Image
Use as many images as necessary to
document the species, but ensure
that each image shows something
different.
image
Arrange images in any logical
manner, but so that the reader can
anticipate where they should look for
the next image (e.g, clockwise,
up/down then left to right)
Don’t use black lines around images.
White lines may be used to
demarcate overlapping images. 6 pt
line thickness works well for this
purpose.
image
Space images evenly, and use same
spacing to separate caption from
images and captions from each other.
Provide caption title to identify theme of caption (I.e., Reproductive morphology of
Gracilaria galetensis, or just Gracilaria galetensis.) Follow with a short caption that
identifies the feature(s) depicted in each image (I.e.., habit, or cross section through
cystocarp showing connections between pericarp and gonimoblast filaments). Use
capital letters to label each image (i.e.) and place label and scale bar in consistent
location.
•Habitat
Identify the environment in which you found the species, and in which it could
be found in general.
•BdT Distribution
List the sites from which the specimen was found in Bocas del Toro (refer to
TFP08 spreadsheet)
•Worldwide Distribution
List the general distribution outside of Panama (refer to AlgaeBase.org)
Contextual paragraph. Discuss the identity of a species with specific reference to the
highlighted features and comment on other interesting ecological, biological or
taxonomic problems.
