Our paper was published Open Access in Biology Open, at no cost to our research budget, through a Read & Publish agreement with The University of Iowa. As an earlier-career researcher this support was invaluable. It allowed us to share our findings widely and preserve funding for our next research venture. We were also honored to have our paper recognized in The Forest of Biologists and to be interviewed about our work. With such thoughtful initiatives, we’re excited to publish with this journal again.
