Did you know bioRxiv, thé preprint server for biology requires "submissions to be associated with an organization that can provide oversight of research activities"? So if you lost your job as scientist because your research institute has been dismantled by the government since it doesn't fit with its political agenda, you can no longer place preprints on bioRxiv?

"In a new paper, Redefining ecosystem integrity for an Anthropocene biosphere, ecologist Jens-Christian Svenning argues that the way we define ecosystem integrity is fundamentally outdated.
