Behavioral Ecology Student Suggestions edit

HarrisZW777 (talk) 07:42, 2 November 2020 (UTC) In order to help your article reach Good Article status, I went through and checked for places where I could improve grammar and condense sentences. I also noticed, upon doing my own research, that there was no available phylogeny for this spider. Therefore I wrote this in the phylogeny section in order to make it clear to readers. I also went through and deleted a few of the headers that had no writing underneath. You mention the sexual dimorphism of this spider, and I think an image showing the difference in male and female size would be useful to include here. Overall, I really liked this article and think it is well on its way to Good Article status.Reply

Lilygreenberg (talk) 05:11, 3 November 2020 (UTC) I added hyperlinks to locations as well as other species, plants, and body parts of the spider mentioned so that viewers can navigate themselves towards further information. I also adjusted the formatting under diet, to make both spiderling and adult sub-headings and took out the bullet points under them because it was redundant to have bullet points and roman numerals. Lastly, I noticed that there was a note to add an image of the Nearctic realm so I added that image. I tried to look for an image on wikimedia of the female Mecaphesa Celer but was unsuccesful but I agree with Harris that it would be helpful to add so maybe consider pursuing that. Overall, great job!Reply


juliaskittle (talk) 08:11, 3 November 2020 (UTC) First, I added quite a few more hyperlinks, especially in the description section, so that readers can more easily read about terms that they are not familiar with. Second, I made some edits in the author’s writing so that some sentences were clearer and more concise. I also tried to more clearly explain some of the pictures in the writing sections. Lastly, I deleted a section titled “Diet” which had headings under it, but no information written in it. I also deleted a heading titled “agricultural impact” because there were two headings with only one paragraph underneath it.Reply
