No word on publication time or place. You can imagine that if you have indisputable evidence that publication time/place/ and manner means everything in terms of pride, money, esteem, standing in the scientific community. It also means that thousands of people will flock there to see it....and tho good of heart the end result could be a disaster for the birds.
Interesting question: if you conceal it, who believes you; if you reveal it you could destroy it. Any ethics positions on this? Thank goodness it isn't in our territory.
