In the screenshot below, only the information that is in addition to the single author citation has been highlighted. The rest of this citation is exactly the same as if this citation was authored only by Zoda.

Immediately after the period for Zoda’s second initial (F.), you will see that a comma is present.

Following the comma is a space and then the ampersand (&) sign, instead of the word, and.

Following the ampersand sign (&) is a space and then the author’s last name.

The second author’s name is written in the same manner as the first author: Last name; followed by a comma; initial of first name; followed by a period and a space; initial of second name, if present; followed by a period and a space.
