Using best-available data and research, Peregrine Falcons of this world are shown to occur primarily in cities,

and they link with predictors like infant mortality and proximity to coast and water.

Here I discuss why this finding is so relevant and what the rejected publication means

and indicates, while the pre-print achieved record-high downloads, e.g. due to Open Access

Data Sharing that commercial publishers with record annual profits are not much interested in.

I show that this concept of labor and expertise does not really reward students and public institutions,

and that for wider conservation such concepts achieve little. It must be improved ASAP.
