After multiple requests, I've shared a PDF version of the book (in Spanish) on Amazon Biodiversity that we edited back in 2009 with Erwin Palacios and CI Colombia.

@sonjawild.bsky.social @galarconnieto.bsky.social & @lucymaplin.bsky.social show that young #GreatTits, which have limited #ParentalCare, learn to solve a foraging #puzzle socially, but rather than parents, siblings & non-parental adults are preferred role models @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46JZn6n

I think the answer is simple. Are they interested in being co-authors? If they are: negotiate. Sometimes fieldwork can't happen without them and most of the time they are willing to be part of data analysis and writing.
If PIs don't want them as co-authors, say it in advance.
