Ecological differentiation may help explain giraffe speciation

Nice work! I always assumed that there had to be some ecological reason for the separation. I would assume the same thing would apply to similar species like Hartebeests.
 
Really good stuff. Well done. I am not too familiar with the average length, breadth, and depth that papers are in your field, but it looks like an epic, seminal piece of work. Are the two anonymous reviewers from the forum, or are they the authors' wives? :p
 
This looks like really clever research!

It is nice to see that in "the real world" scientists use the same methods as students do, like e.g. CANOCO. Then it becomes clear that we really do learn something ;).

Reviewers, ugh. This paper got rejected many times so it has had many reviewers. Definitely not relatives.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

You are a far more persistent man than I am. When my last paper got rejected that was the end of that. Which reminds me: you might find this video as entertaining as my colleagues and I did. Scientific Peer Review, ca. 1945 - YouTube (warning: a few written swear words).

Only my German colleague didn't find it funny, not because of Hitler, but because it was difficult for her to read the translation when she could actually understand the German words!!
