Oh, I've seen it. The real question is, do YOU know who Dr. Gorzula is?? Have you read his 'expertise' in the Ghana report? (and here I will point out that Gorzula did virtually NONE of the 'research', he was just the guy they reported to, the actual authors are owned by the govt of Ghana).Originally Posted by dracovolans
One point to note is that it is strictly a CITES report, it has so little 'research' and statistical fact that it would NEVER make it into a peer-reviewed journal (which is the foundation of good science in the developed world). Gorzula, btw, is know to favor economic development over solid research, which is partly why his CV covers a wide range of topics (brittle stars?), none of them in depth. The entire paper is a monument for trying to sound legitimate when you are anything but (just throw in a random t-test and some big words).
You find it interesting that one guy is the 'authority' in a field where no other sources are available??
