BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ biblatex | Issues with Bibliography Formatting

[Ross Ahmed]

More problems have arisen with biblatex. Using the attached .bib file and .tex file, the bibliography is currently printing as in attached screenshot.

I'm aiming for following bibliography:
Andersson, S. 1999. Morphology....
Armenta, J.K., Dunn, P.O. & Whittingham, L.A. 2008. Effects.....

So three things need fixing in bibliography

1. remove space between initials
2. delimit first and second authors with ','
3. delimit second and last author with '&'

.tex file as follows:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
  firstinits   = true ,
  style        = authoryear ,
  natbib       = true ,
  doi          = false ,
  isbn         = false ,
  url          = false ,
  uniquename   = false ,
  uniquelist   = false ,
  sorting      = nyt ,
  maxcitenames = 2
]{biblatex}

% remove comma inline citations
\renewcommand*{\nameyeardelim}{\addspace}

% delimits authors inline citations with &
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\addspace\&\space}

% seperate multi authors by comma
\renewcommand*{\multicitedelim}{\addcomma\space}

% keep the example self-contained and let it create the bib file on the fly:
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@ARTICLE{AnderssonS1999,
  author = {Andersson, S.},
  title = {Morphology of UV reflectance in a whistling-thrush: implications
for the study of structural colour signalling in birds},
  journal = {Journal of Avian Biology},
  year = {1999},
  volume = {30:},
  pages = {193-204}
}
@ARTICLE{armenta2008,
  author = {Armenta, J. K. and Dunn, P. O. and Whittingham, L. A.},
  title = {{Effects of specimen age on plumage color}},
  journal = {The Auk},
  year = {2008},
  volume = {125:},
  pages = {803--808},
  file = {:Users/rossahmed/Library/Application Support/Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Armenta, Dunn, Whittin\textit{g\textit{}}ham - 2008 - Effects of specimen age on plumage color.pdf:pdf},
  publisher = {BioOne},
  url = {http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1525/auk.2008.07006}
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\DeclareFieldFormat
  [article,inbook,incollection,inproceedings,patent,thesis,unpublished]
  {title}{#1\isdot}

\renewbibmacro{in:}{%

      }{%
        \addperiod\space
         \printtext{\printdateextra}%
      }%
    }%
  }
\makeatother

\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{pages}{#1}
\DeclareNameFormat[article,periodical,book,electronic]{author}{%
  \mkbibbold{#5\addspace#1\addcomma\addspace#4}}


\begin{document}

\title{test}
\author{test}
\date{}

some text \parencite{AnderssonS1999} and more text \parencite{armenta2008}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

I've got as far as working out that this code is stopping the final author being delimited with '&'. If block of code below is removed, the final authors in bibliography become delimited with '&':

Code: Select all

\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{pages}{#1}
\DeclareNameFormat[article,periodical,book,electronic]{author}{%
  \mkbibbold{#5\addspace#1\addcomma\addspace#4}}

How can I get the final authors delimited with '&', but also the above code block to work?
