Ecological Modelling template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Ecological Modelling format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Ecological Modelling template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Ecological Modelling use?
Ecological Modelling uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text.
