Style Error: [Conservation Biology]
While the in-text citation form is correct, the reference list is wrong formatted. Here I report the Journal request:
Literature Cited section
Provide the full names of all journal titles. Do not italicize titles.
If there are more than 10 authors, use et al. (Howard G, et al.) instead of listing the names of all authors.
Example Citations
Journal articles:

Here the things that are wrong:
-There should not be a coma between the last name and the first name initial of the authors.
-No point after the first name initial.
-The order should always be: last name followed by the initial of the first name both for the first author and the others.
-The last author name should not be preceded by "and".
-They require the web address for the papers cited if it is only an on-line journal.
Thank you for the prompt reply.
For the last point: Can you check your Zotero preferences->Cite->Styles->Citation options: Include URLs of paper articles in references should be deactivated.
