If a map is included, it must be in tiff or png format, with a resolution of 300 dpi and with a maximum size of 9 x 9 cm, with the minimum contents (scale, compass rose, legend).

Figure 1. The figures must be numbered in Arabic, with the title at the bottom of the figure (Figure 1) and contain the information that allows their understanding, justified on the left with a font size of 10.5

Authors must indicate the material and equipment, indicating brand and model (city and country in parentheses and separated by a comma) when considered relevant. Establish the consent of the participants or their representatives to use the data obtained that involves the use of Biodiversity.

In relation to the methods, a clear and concise description of the techniques used to achieve the objectives must be made, subtitles must be used to clarify and order the methods, and they must be supported with bibliographic citations. Write in the third person and in the past tense. It is essential to specify the statistical analysis used. It is also convenient to indicate the software used for data processing. Font size 12.

RESULTS

They must be clear and precise. Written in the past tense or past participle, in a logical sequence in the text. Only important observations should be emphasized. If possible, using resources such as: tables and figures (photographs, diagrams, microphotographs, diagrams, schemes, drawings). Equations should not be sent as an image, use plugins to edit formulas such as Mathtype (software for editing equations). Font size 12

Tables: Tables must be numbered (Table 1) sequentially using Arabic numerals, contain a descriptive title located at the top and must not have lines other than enough to prepare the table. The notes referring to what is expressed in the table must be clarified at the end of it, placing the corresponding symbols. The tables are in APA 6 standard (they will be placed vertically as much as possible, with reduced and specific information) if the table goes to the next page, repeat the headings. It is recommended not to present more than 6 tables in the article; if the table is too broad, reduce it or summarize it with the most important data.

Graphs: Statistical bar graphs can be in black and white or color; If they are easy to group in a single graph or summarize them for a better comparison. The legend should go at the bottom and they should be named as Figure in the same sequential order as the images.

Figure 2. Example graph (view in Word format).
Photographs: they must be in color, in TIFF or PNG format with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi that maintains adequate sharpness (not pixelated or that include illegible texts), indicate the magnification of the microphotographs. The legend should go at the bottom. Photographs and images larger than 10 x 10 cm are not accepted; It should be noted that grouped, overlapping images will not be accepted (It is recommended to vectorize them in Adobe Illustrator or improve the pixelation in Adobe Photoshop).

DISCUSSION

It should be written concisely to facilitate understanding and assimilation of the results. It is necessary to emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and relate the results obtained with those reported in other investigations. This relationship must allow for refuting, comparing, and accepting the results presented with those reported in the literature.

CONCLUSION (EN)

They must (if there are several) correspond to the expectations elucidated in the introduction and be in direct relation to the objectives (consider that it is the response to each objective). Avoid summarizing the results.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (essential):
The authors may briefly express words of gratitude to institutions and/or people who contributed to the achievement of the work.

AUTHORS CONTRIBUTION (required):
The participation of each of the authors in the research must be indicated.
