I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

🌎 The Museum recently welcomed a sediment core from the lakebed of tiny Crawford Lake to the collections. Within the layers of this core is a recorded history of human interactions and impacts on the planet going back centuries. #EarthDay #ClimateChange #Anthropocene

I've been advised to avoid the phrase: "No previous studies have investigated..." It's a cheap hook to claim the value of your study. Here are 5 approaches I use in my writing instead:

Very sad to hear about the recent passing of Dr. J. Bruce Falls at age 100, whose work influenced generations of biologists. morleybedford.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/dr-… nationalobserver.com/2024/05/08/new… eeb.utoronto.ca/2024/04/rememb… NatureConservancy.ca | Conservationdelanature.ca Algonquin Provincial Park CSEE_SCEE University of Toronto EEB CSZ-SCZ Algonquin Provincial Park

New paper🚨! In #transgenerational #plasticity, does it matter if parents are exposed to #warming during early life vs at reproduction only? Spoiler alert: yes!

Stop asking me that 😢

Super cool work lead by ⁦Jodi Thomas⁩ Thomas on the effect of ocean acidification on a cephalopod! ⁦⁦OIST⁩ ⁦Celia Schunter⁩ ⁦Roger Huerlimann⁩ ⁦Sue-Ann Watson⁩ #climatechange #oceanacidification #squids bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Nice new paper out from our PNG expedition! Out of shape: Ocean acidification simplifies coral reef architecture and reshuffles fish assemblages OIST Celia Schunter Professor Jodie Rummer Riccardo Rodolfo-Metalpa #climatechange #seeps #volcano #coralreef #fish https:// besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Happening NOW in the central Red Sea. 100% of corals are bleaching. Devastating, heartbreaking.

Species’ #ClimateChange responses depend on collective responses of populations, yet intraspecific variation is rarely studied in marine species. This study explores thermal performance differences between coral reef damselfish populations. DOI: doi.org/10.1093/conphy…

Chromosome-scale genome assembly of the tropical #abalone (Haliotis asinina) Great work by ⁦⁦Roy Barkan⁩ 🧬 🧬 🧬 ⁦Ira Cooke⁩ ⁦Sally Lau⁩ ⁦Sue-Ann Watson⁩ ⁦MarineOmics⁩ nature.com/articles/s4159…

Re-reading an old draft

Could mortality in reintroduced populations be linked to an altered gut microbiome? What are the implications for conservation? Read this study on marmots to find out! Read it here: doi.org/10.1093/conphy… #CaptiveBreeding #Microbiome 🦠
