Modelling & Theory – call for papers Modelling and theoretical approaches have always been welcome in New Phytologist, but in a range of areas these are becoming especially relevant today. This theme is explored in more detail below (Woodward & Ingram, 2005), and among the freely available papers highlighted. You will also now find specific guidelines for the presentation of these types of research in our Instructions to authors Submissions dealing with modelling and theory are encouraged. Special features Forthcoming features to look out for in 2005 include ‘eco-devo’ and ‘structure–function modelling’ to be published in the April and June issues, respectively.
