He published a single author paper even though he acknowledges in the end "I thank Matthew Fiedler, PhD, and Jeanne Lambrew, PhD, who assisted with planning, writing, and data analysis". In my field, those people probably would have deserved a place on the authors list ;)

In my field, those people probably would have deserved a place on the authors list ;) Yeah, in my field (astronomy) that would have also merited co-authorship. But, I think standards vary wildly. In astronomy, many co-authors' contributions consist solely of commenting on nearly-finished manuscripts. Some friends in ecology think that's way too generous and would instead just acknowledge people for their comments.
