Selection criteria We focus on shorter, scientific papers (up to 10 printed pages) dealing with intriguing ideas in animal behavioral ecology.
Presentation In the first minutes of a paper's presentation, we summarize the content of the week's focus publication. This is followed by emphasizing strengths and weaknesses of the work. We try to adopt the perspective of a journal reviewer, gathering arguments in support of the work and also identifying areas for potential improvement. The person selecting and presenting the paper will also lead its discussion. It is helpful to prepare a number of questions for different parts of the paper (background, relevance, methods, results, interpretation, relevance, etc.) and to point out controversies to spark the discussion.
