Quantifying reviewer declines in scientific publishing: twenty-one years of data from biological invasions 2002–2024 - Biological Invasions The peer review process has been fundamental to scientific publishing since the mid-twentieth century because it helps to ensure scientific rigor and integrity. However, as fewer scientists seem willing to undertake manuscript review and the number of papers submitted keeps climbing, the peer-review process has become increasingly fraught. In recent years, a “reviewer crisis” has emerged seemingly owing to reviewer fatigue, inequitable workloads, and relentless critics on social media platforms that castigate large publishing houses for exploiting unpaid labor. This study investigates trends in reviewer engagement at the journal Biological Invasions using editorial data from 2003 to 2024. We examined trends in reviewer acceptance and decline rates, differences by career stage, and global variation in review completion rates. Our results show that reviewer acceptance rates have dropped steadily over the past two decades, converging with increasing decline rates. Early-career researchers had the highest acceptance and lowest decline rates, while senior scholars were least likely to accept review invitations. Geographic analysis revealed uneven reviewer follow-through across countries, with some lower-income nations outperforming high-income countries. These findings highlight the need for structural reform in the peer review process. Potential solutions include targeted incentives, expanded reviewer training, equitable invitation practices, compensation, and formal recognition of reviewer contributions. Without such measures, the current system—reliant on altruism and strained by increasing publication volume—risks becoming unsustainable. Our analysis provides empirical insight into the dynamics of reviewer participation and suggests steps to support a more sustainable peer review ecosystem.

The influence of climate change on growth of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) - Environmental Biology of Fishes The Arctic is warming at an unprecedented rate and with longer growing seasons, greater rainfall, and less snowfall. Cold-adapted ectotherms, such as the Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (Linnaeus 1758), are likely to experience changes to growth as a result. Anadromous Arctic charr (charr, hereafter) are of great importance for northern communities, providing a source of income from commercial fisheries and food security from subsistence harvest. Initially, warming is expected to increase the growth of charr, benefitting subsistence and commercial fisheries in the short term. However, over longer time scales, temperatures exceeding the optimum for growth will likely result in metabolic stress, slowed growth, and higher mortality. Thus, the long-term consequences of climate change will likely be negative. We assessed anadromous charr growth from 1984 to 2013 in three stocks around Cumberland Sound using otolith measurements as proxies for age-specific growth. Trend analyses indicated growth had increased in pre-migratory ages over the years. We used mixed models to investigate changes to growth for ages 1–10 in relation to climate variables, finding that growing degree days had the greatest positive influence on ages 1–6 while annual precipitation had an overall negative effect on growth in ages 1–2 and 6–10. Contrary to previous assessments on these stocks, our results suggest charr have indeed experienced changes to growth with climate change. These findings emphasize the need for more thorough long-term growth studies in the management of fisheries as altered growth will affect food security and the economy across the Canadian Arctic.
