In our humble opinion, this is not a defensible practice. If the paper is reviewable, then it is the journal's job to find reviewers, full stop.

Strongly recommend! Study plants and have a topic you love? An opportunity to dig and think deeply on a topic, with no restraints on length, and provide your perspective on its past, present, and future. And get paid! Writing this review on traits & herbaria in 2022 was super rewarding.

Plant lovers ! Not only did we get a mock cover but the real cover!. Valentina did a phantastic job targeting all key stages of fruit development in the gooey Loranthaceae. Also stay tuned for the genetics of extreme ovule modifications. #non-modelplantsrock #parasitesbreakdevelopmentalrules
