Wiki Education assignment: Behavioral Ecology 2022

edit

  This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 30 August 2022 and 9 December 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Eregwustl (article contribs). Peer reviewers: Anishal311, Emily486103, Rwolff26.

— Assignment last updated by CalJS (talk) 01:39, 14 October 2022 (UTC) Anisha Comments: As a student at Washington University in St. Louis I Peer reviewed this essay. I focused on editing the physiology section of this paper. There were some grammatical errors and run on sentences that I corrected. Additionally, there was information from an article that was included but didn't apply to this genus of frog so I took that information out. Overall, there are some citation errors as there are a mix of manual and wiki auto citations which makes the footnotes hard to follow. The information in robust and factually correct but it is a bit hard to validate because the citations are hard to read.Anishal311Reply

I think there are a few major problems with references:

1) (Faivovich et al. 2005) was not mentioned in the reference

2) I am not sure where reference 13 in the reproduction section came from when there are only 10 references

3) A few references do not follow the correction citation formatting, and I cannot fact check some statements in the entry because article names are not mentioned. For example, a source is simply listed as Pough 2004. There seems to be an inconsistency between citing using brackets, MLA format and actual Wikipedia citation

4) There is a section regarding cannibalism of tadpoles from the source “Cope, E.D. 1874.  Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia: 69”. However, I could not find anything on the page, nor could I find anything about the species in the entire text.  Here is the link that I used, the citation did not specify the volume. v.26 (1874) - Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia - Biodiversity Heritage Library (biodiversitylibrary.org) Emily486103 (talk) 17:40, 20 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Additional Comments Left: - For the picture shown, pick a different picture which emphasizes the contrast between the dark hourglass body and the smooth yellow thighs more to help illustrate your description of the frog. - Taxonomy can contain more information about the other genuses and how they are related to this frog. Could include an image of a phylogenetic tree to make this easier for the reader to visualize. - Could also include more of the differences between each genus and why these differences arose evolutionarily (why does this genus have 30 chromosomes while others do not). - Could include more details about their habitat and distribution: Is there any odd or unique pattern regarding their distribution? Do they struggle to relocate and if so why? Are there any prey in their habitat that makes them choose a particular habitat over others? Why is the frog very adaptable? - Could also go into more detail about specific human actions that puts their habitat at risk or themselves at risk (exposure to certain chemicals, deforestation, climate change, etc). - Why is there variation in the patterns on their backs? Was this an evolutionary advantage produced by natural selection to avoid predators? - Move some of the information in the physiology section to the taxonomy section to emphasize the difference between this frog family and others. - Physiology can be divided into several other subsections and more information can be added: the third paragraph can be moved into separate paragraphs discussing diet and behavior and this section has too much information on varying topics. - What are the various environmental factors which control the location of where the egg masses are laid? Also, talk about egg predation in a different paragraph focusing on predators. - Move the mating section to after the physiology section and before the reproduction section to give a better flow of information. Ideally, try to end this article with the research section. - Group living section is confusing since it seems to focus more on the aggressive threshold than group living. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwolff26 (talkcontribs) 00:12, 21 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
