Frustrating - I reviewed a paper that was highly problematic, mainly in scientific rigour undermining most of the conclusions, so I recommend Reject. However the editor decides to Revise presumably due to the more positive comments from reviewer 2... /1

We are now keenly seeking LBAM (lightbrown apple moth) from around Melbourne. If you have an apple tree, or a grapevine, please take a look and see if you can see moth damage and webbing. We are after live larvae.

#AMSA2025 abstracts are open!

I will be leading the symposium "Community partnerships driving reciprocal outcomes in marine science", where we will share examples of third party engagement for mutually beneficial outcomes. This is just one symposium amongst an exciting suite of topics. Submit now!

While trying to tackle a metabarcoding project during my PhD in 2018, it became clear that most packages were designed with microbiologists in mind. @morgan-ellis.bsky.social and I now present a package made by ecologists, for ecologists; EGgPLant. It is now available at github.com/mrellis96/EG...
