@majensen Thanks for the editorial effort you put in.
I am not from the field of population biology (unlike the second author, who is the brain behind this operation) so unfortunately, I do not have any suggestions...
@rozmanowna - could you please take a look at the list of potential reviewers?

[rozmanowna]
