Once a manuscript passes the initial checks, it will be assigned to at least two independent experts for peer-review. Academic editors can decide to reject the manuscript, request revisions before peer-review, or continue with the peer-review process and recommend suitable reviewers.

The simple summary consists of no more than 200 words in one paragraph and contains a clear statement of the problem addressed, the aims and objectives, pertinent results, conclusions from the study and how they will be valuable to society. The Academic Editor being consulted will be asked to provide an advisory recommendation on the manuscript and may recommend acceptance, further peer-review, or uphold the original rejection decision. If evidence of misconduct is found, appropriate action will be taken to correct or retract the publication. We recommend that authors comply with the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention on the Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.If this is the case, it is strongly recommended that the previous manuscript ID is provided in the submission system, which will ease your current submission process. Commentary: Commentaries must provide an in depth, rather than superficial, review of a topic, showing a novel way of interpreting the scientific literature. Approval to conduct a study from an independent local, regional, or national review body is not equivalent to prospective clinical trial registration. If previously unpublished de novo cell lines were used, including those gifted from another laboratory, details of institutional review board or ethics committee approval must be given, and confirmation of written informed consent must be provided if the line is of human origin.

We confirm that neither the manuscript nor any parts of its content are currently under consideration or published in another journal. At the time of submission, please include all relevant information in the materials and methods section, such as repository where the data was submitted and link, data set identifier, username and password needed to access the data.This ensures that your article is officially recorded as the first paper to describe the new species. If you include already published figures or images, please obtain the necessary permission from the copyright holder to publish under the CC-BY license.
