I know everyone gets busy but it drives me crazy when people accept a review invitation & then never submit.
I implore you to ask for extensions or let the editor know you can’t do it so they can begin trying to find an alternate.

I cannot believe our work is finally out there and in @journal-evo.bsky.social ! This was an enormous group effort!

We provide an updated estimate of the number of buzz pollinated angiosperm species, genera, and families, look at consequences for diversification, number of transitions, and more!

I always underestimate how long it takes to submit a manuscript. I mean, why would anyone think it takes 2.5 hrs to upload some files?
Anyway, let’s celebrate that small win with this orchid pic!

These are all Platanthera but four different species. I’ve had Spiranthes do well before but otherwise most of my lab orchids have been Australian natives.
