@bbolker What I hear colleagues are doing to avoid those fees at the moment -- before we can launch the Journal of Statistical Ecology -- is to redirect stat ecology papers towards 1/ Subscription journals like #JABES or #EnvironmentalAndEcologicalStatistics and 2/ #PCIEcology / #PCIMathCompBiol (there will be a #EURING special issue in the Peer Community Journal whose peer-review process will be done through these two channels). So option 1/ for Green OA and 2/ for Diamond OA.
