My (not so) side project is now out in @iScience_CP! Here, I tackle key gaps in traits in Philippine species, and its potential conservation implications. cell.com/iscience/fullt…

For the record, this is the only comment we received and nada. For those who are curious, this is how big the Philippines is 🧵

For context, this is a second-round review of a Perspective paper (not a review article). We addressed the previous comments carefully, and the scope was not raised at all in the first round. But now, suddenly, the entire Philippines is “too local.”🧵

It is 2026, and apparently, a paper tackling some important biodiversity conservation across the entire Philippines can still be dismissed in peer review as “too local.” 🧵
