Be nice if the link worked. Hell, it would have been nice if the abstract could have been posted, rather than just the press release.
It also would have been nice if some support had been given for the assertion that the "Proceedings of the Bioligical [sic] Society of Washington" actually *was* a "peer-reviewed" journal, and whether the alleged peers actually had sufficient background to review such a paper. Most of the articles I turned up for the PotBSoW were simple species surveys, mostly on birds. I searched in vain for a website for the journal, another bad sign.
But I guess the Antiques Trade Gazette already had a backlog of submissions.
There was no abstract to post.
