Style Request - Journal of Zoology

Hi Everyone

I'm looking for a style for Journal of Zoology (London). On their website they have links for the style for Reference Manager and for Endnote, but not for Mendeley. The requirements are:

In the text, references must be arranged chronologically with the surname(s) of the author(s) followed by the date.

Use a, b, etc. after the year to distinguish papers published by the same author(s) in the same year. Reference should not be made to unpublished data.
(i) Two authors:use both names and the year. Do not use et al.
(ii) Three authors: on first citation use all authors' names and the year. Thereafter it is usually sufficient to give the name of the first author followed by et al. and the date.
(iii) More than three authors: on first citation and thereafter give the name of the first author followed by et al. and the date.

In the list, references must be arranged first alphabetically under author(s) name(s) and then in chronological order if several papers by the same author(s) are cited.

Examples
Lemelin, P. (1996a). Relationships between hand morphology and feeding strategies in small-bodied prosimians. Am. J. phys. Anthrop ` (Suppl.) 22, 148.
Lemelin, P. (1996b). The evolution of manual prehensility in primates: a comparative study of prosimians and didelphid marsupials. PhD thesis, State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Pianka, E. R. (1978). Evolutionary ecology.2nd edn. New York: Harper & Row.
Whitear, M. (1992). Solitary chemosensory cells. In Fish chemoreception: 103-125. Hara, T. J. (Ed.). London: Chapman & Hall.

Thanks very much for any help.

  • https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles

    also, there is currently a bit of a backlog, so once you do that it will take a while until someone - most likely me - will get around to actually coding the style.
  • also look at some of the other wiley styles (particularly ecological letters, Human Resource Management Journal, and Springer Author Date). One of those might be very close to what you need.
  • Thanks very much for the help.

    noksagt, the Human Resource Management Journal looks promising.

    adamsmith, Thanks for the link, I'll work out the key differences between the two styles which should make the job a bit easier.
  • this style should work :

    any problems, let me know
  • The style is up. It will show up on the repository within 30mins. It may take up to a day for the preview to work.
    If you want to update the style in the future, please always start with the version on the repository, since we usually touch up some formatting etc.

    Thanks for contributing!
