Lead

edit

The lead was not updated by the author. However, the author significantly expands upon the article by including the following sections: Ecology, Habitat Destruction, and Conservation. These sections are crucial and extremely relevant to the topic. Furthermore, these sections expand upon the lead section by providing contextual information about the ecology and biology of the Fender's blue butterfly.

Content

edit

As mentioned previously, the sections added to the article are extremely relevant to the topic and useful in explaining conservation efforts to address the endangered status of these butterflies. The section on ecology provides information about the organism's life-history, which is closely intertwined with the facultative mutualistic relationship with its host plant. This section also provides information on the geographical and temporal distribution of the butterfly. This section provides readers with contextual background leading to the root cause of the butterfly's classification of endangered species. The next section following this topic was habitat destruction. The author does a wonderful job explaining the native habitat and endemism of the butterfly, which provides contextual information about their vulnerability to potential extinction. Moreover, this section on habitat destruction could be further expanded to include information about its host plant, which I presume is also impacted by habitat fragmentation. Furthermore, I think it would be interesting to provide a section on the butterfly's vulnerability to climate change, if possible. Finally, the section on conservation is effectively summarized. However, it could be further expanded based on updates from conservation efforts to increase the butterfly's population.

Tone and Balance
