==={{anchor|Phrases not quoting the authority}}Phrases not quoting an authority===
Explanatory parenthetical phrases not directly quoting the authority usually begin with a present participle and should not begin with a capital letter: ''See generally'' John Copeland Nagle & J.B. Ruhl, ''The Law of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management'' 227-45 (2002) (detailing the ESA's prohibition on the possession of protected species). When a complete participial phrase is unnecessary in context, a shorter parenthetical may be substituted:
Such standards have been adopted to address a variety of environmental problems. ''See, e.g.'', H.B. Jacobini, ''The New International Sanitary Regulations'', 46 Am. J. INT'L L. 727, 727-28(1952) (health-related water quality); Robert L. Meyer, Travaux Preparatoires ''for the UNESCO World Heritage Convention'', 2 EARTH L.J. 45, 45-81 (1976)(conservation of protected areas).
