Most people are right- some left-handed or ambidextrous - and so are honey buzzards when turning in thermals! But, unlike us, mastering flight means these birds must overcome laterality as they grow. A gem of a preprint led by @enourani.bsky.social. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I am trying to find 2 reviewers for a paper on camera traps and predator-prey interactions. 16 invitations sent, 6 declined, the rest are ghosting me, and we're 60 days into submission. Is it that Peer community in Ecology is asking to review? We might be deserving the mess we find ourselves in.

Just returning from a kickoff meeting at the Schneeferner Umweltforschungsstation located on top of Germany. A most stunning place to start a DFG Forschungsgruppe with high ambitions in joining ecology and remote sensing through cutting edge IT research.

You can't have your cake and eat it! There would be no cherished and social media advertised papers WITHOUT EVERYONE (corresponding a MS) also reviewing AT LEAST 4 MSs. Not even speaking of serving as editor etc. Be a mutualist not a parasite! You are risking to die with your host. Happy holidays!
