Nice to see mention that my research work unit coworker Dr. Jennifer Koch is part of that international team. Getting published in Nature Ecology & Evolution is a big deal. I've had them turn down two of my efforts in the past year. Yes, I've been rejected by all the high-impact journals at one time or another.
