- you can always publish a rebuttal in Nature

also, how much tax money was used on this study? I read the original and did not see that.
The article quotes Marra as saying they were given a grant by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. I dunno, maybe the employees of that agency were concerned enough to chip in themselves for this study.

My only suggestion is that they stop spending taxpayer money on these studies; we have long since run out of it.

The USFWS failed in giving them our money to do this.

tax money is validly used to protect wildlife, wildlife are public property as you no doubt know

if you have any substantive comments re methodology, get them to me as I am going to incorporate this study into a review paper I am writing

Sure, in times of abundance, it is. We are currently living in anything but. It's high time to make some (very easy) decisions regarding where we really need to spend taxpayer money. It's in pretty short supply right now.

Nothing more than I've already said - I really don't care enough to get any deeper into it. Suffice to say that all they did was study other studies, and admitted to weeding out certain studies based on what sounds like some pretty subjective criteria. Lazy, sloppy work. The kind only the government will pay for, with our money.
