Sat down at my text 20 minutes ago and already have my first paper rejection of 2024. Reviewer 2: "Bioinformatic analyses are just like colorful bubbles which look beautiful but may not be real"

Just published Biological Invasions a morphogenetic study showing the early stages of the introduction in Europe of a marine non-indigenous species that can attain amongst the highest benthic biomass per surface area ever reported: rdcu.be/dOotd

Recent species introductions present unique opportunities to study key aspects of the invasion process 🌊 👉 However, comprehensive information on how and when non-indigenous species are first intro-duced remains rare.
