@lbeziaud Thansk for your submission, we'll assign an editor soon and very sorry for the long delay.

@oliviaguest Would you like to edit this submission? Note that is a failed replication and we might need to contact original authors at some point if they want to give extra information.

Note that @LukasWallrich propose himself to review (thanks)

[oliviaguest]

Happy to! 😊

@lbeziaud Quick comment on the paper: you re-use the original figures which is good and ease the comparison. Problem is that we're not alllowed to do that because of copyright of the original paper (unless it is CC-BY). Could try to contact the journal to ask for permission to re-use the figures (explaining that the original article will be cited properly)??

Thank you for noticing. I did not think about this issue and will contact the journal. I can produce a version without the original figures if necessary.

Note that is a failed replication and we might need to contact original authors at some point if they want to give extra information.

Regarding the failed replication, only a subset of the model (however central to the conclusions of the original paper) was not reproduced successfully (due to our misunderstanding of some instructions). We originally thought about submitting as [~Re]. We tried to contact the first two authors in May 2021 for clarification but were left without an answer.

I would be best with original figures, but we can do without it if you don't obtain permission.
