Style request - Conservation letters
Does anyone know which citation style is identical to the one used by Conservation letters? Otherwise could someone please provide one?
Here is an extract from the authors guidelines:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1755-263X/homepage/ForAuthors.html
***************
References to papers by one or two authors in the text should be in full, e.g. (Able & Charles 1986). If the number of authors exceeds two, they should always be abbreviated thus: (Frank et al. 1986). When different groups of authors with the same first author and date occur, they should be cited thus: (James et al. 1986a, b). References should be listed in chronological order in the text, e.g. (Lowe et al. 1986; Able et al. 1997). At the end of the paper, references should be listed in alphabetical order by the first author or editor (for edited books). Names and initials of all authors, year of publication, the full titles of papers, chapters and books, the abbreviated journal titles (standard abbreviations please see http://images.webofknowledge.com/WOK46/help/WOS/A_abrvjt.html), volumes and inclusive pagination should be provided. Examples of reference style are given below:
Ferris, C., King, R.A. & Gray, A.J. (1997). Molecular evidence for the maternal parentage in the hybrid origin of Spartina anglica C.E. Hubbard. Mol. Ecol., 6, 185-187.
Begon, M., Harper, J. & Townsend, C. (1996). Ecology: individuals, populations and communities. 3rd edn. Blackwell Publishing, Oxford.
Milligan, B. (1992). Plant DNA isolation. In: Molecular genetic analysis of populations: a practical approach (ed. Hoelzel, A.R.). IRL Press, Oxford, pp. 59-88.
References to a paper ’in press’ are permissible provided that it has been accepted for publication (acceptance date and documentary evidence must be provided) and should appear as follows:
V´azquez, D.P. & Simberloff, D. (2003). Changes in interaction biodiversity induced by an introduced ungulate. Ecol. Lett., in press.
If a paper ’in press’ has been allocated a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), then cite this with the paper as follows:
V´azquez, D.P. & Simberloff, D. (2003). Changes in interaction biodiversity induced by an introduced ungulate. Ecol. Lett., doi:10.1046/j.1461-0248.2003.00534.x
A reference to ’unpublished work’ should be accompanied by the names of all persons concerned; any person cited as the source of a ’personal communication’ must have approved the reference; both of these types of citation are permitted in the text only, not in the list of references. However, the number of incidences of this sort of referencing should be kept to an absolute minimum. The use of ’in preparation’ or ’submitted for publication’ is not permitted. Please double-space references.
References to material available on the World Wide Web are acceptable, but only if the information is available on an official site and without charge to readers. Authors may provide electronic copies of the cited material for inclusion on the Conservation Letters homepage at the discretion of the Editors. The format for citations is as follows:

Differences:
Date in bibliography is in parentheses
Ampersand is used in bibliography instead of "and" in authors list.
Journal name is in italics and abbreviated
Paragraphs of citations in bibliography are without line offset
These are the differences I know of, there might be others.
Any problems let us know.
