No Luck With Behavioural Brain Research

Our 11-KT in scarlet shiners manuscript was quickly rejected at BBR, as something outside their current topics of interest. It was admirably fast; I submitted the material through their electronic portal first thing in the morning, and heard back from them about 4 that afternoon. My cynical thought is they're not interested in anything not done on rats or mice, but what the hell, that's their loss. Anyway, I'm reformatting the manuscript to submit to American Midland Naturalist. The truth might be that the work we're doing is of most interest to people doing "natural history", which self-identification seems to be making a big comeback. I'll just stay away from snide British editors of upscale biomedical journals, which should have been self-evident.
