STOTEN is now dead. It has been completely removed from Web of Science mjl.clarivate.com/search-results
jutfelt.bsky.social Fredrik Jutfelt 🐠 @jutfelt.bsky.social · Oct 21
Warning to environmental scientists! 🧪🦑🌎🐟

The journal STOTEN has been placed on hold by Clarivate, meaning it is under investigation and may lose its indexing (including impact factor). Consider publishing elsewhere.

Major news: the highly corrupt
@elsevierconnect.bsky.social journal STOTEN finally lost its IF!! The journal was under the hands of the corrupt editor & #papermill #fraud Damia Barcelo. Will Elsevier finally retract all the shit it published?
Clarivate finally delisted this corrupt journal.

Our new paper in Ecology Letters, led by Jan Divíšek, shows that non-invasive alien plant species that successfully establish within local plant communities tend to resemble the resident native species. In contrast, invasive alien species usually differ from native plants.

Excited to share our new paper where we find that the rise, decline and fall of clades is not explained by the usual suspects (diversity-dependence, ecological opportunities) but rather by species' insidious loss of macroevolutionary fitness: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/3

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate
The Daily Beast writes: "Kim Kardashian's brand SKIMS has sold out its synthetic pubic hair thongs and is now accumulating a waitlist for the product." Their tweet is accompanied by a link to a post with the story.
