It would be ironic if today’s eminently valid and timely call for a wide and rich variety of post-publication metrics — in place of just the unitary journal average (the “journal impact factor”) — were coupled with an ill-considered call for collapsing the planet’s wide and rich variety of peer-reviewed journals and their respective independent, established quality levels onto some sort of global, generic pass/fail system.

Many animal species such as snakes, insects and fish have evolved camouflage defences to deter attack from their predators. However research published in New Phytologist has discovered that trees in New Zealand have evolved a similar defence to protect themselves from extinct giant birds, providing the first evidence of this strategy in plant life.
