Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful message. Your work on modeling endangered desert plant distributions using the MaxEnt approach sounds highly valuable, both from a conservation and scientific standpoint.

I would be happy to collaborate and support you in refining the manuscript—particularly in scientific writing, language polishing, and providing ecological and methodological feedback. I appreciate your generous offer of co-authorship, and I would gladly contribute meaningfully to strengthen the paper in preparation for submission.

Please feel free to share the draft and any supplementary materials. I will review them carefully and provide constructive suggestions to enhance both clarity and academic rigor

Zein Al-Abideen Douba Thank you very much for your warm and encouraging reply. I truly appreciate your willingness to collaborate and provide constructive feedback on the manuscript.

I noticed from your profile that your main research background seems to be in the medical sciences. May I kindly ask about your specific areas of expertise and interest related to ecology or biogeography? This will help me better understand how we can complement each other’s strengths in the project.

For smoother communication, could you please also share your preferred contact information (e.g., email address) so that we can stay in touch more efficiently during manuscript preparation?

Regarding authorship, I would like to clarify that the co-author position I can offer is either as the second author or as a co-corresponding author (second corresponding author). I hope this is acceptable and understandable.

Once again, thank you for your kind reply. I look forward to the possibility of working together and learning from your expertise.

Dear Zhang Long,

Thank you very much for your kind and detailed message. I am pleased to hear about your study on endangered desert plant distributions using the MaxEnt model—it is a highly valuable research topic with important ecological and conservation implications.

Regarding your question about my background: while my primary expertise is in medical sciences, I have experience in statistical analysis, data interpretation, and scientific writing, which I offered to support your manuscript with. I want to clarify that my offer was simply to provide assistance, and you are under no obligation to accept it.

If you find it useful, I would be happy to help with language polishing, statistical assessments, and improving the clarity of your results within my capacity. You can reach me via email at [email protected] Zhang Long
