To-Do
Overall, all three of us received pretty similar commentary from peer reviews, elaborating on need for....
- further resources
- addition of images (public domain)
- any clarification on individual edits (i.e., exact page to which edits are being made, where on said page edits will go - like creation of new subsections - & intended purpose of content already added, etc.)
Edits to be made (to Squalidae page):
Introduction - Olivia
edit- "no anal fin," yet picture of spiny dogfish depicts clear pelvic fins (plural, as in ventral pair similar to pectoral fins, but smaller in size and located towards caudal end). Although internal wiki (see Fish fin page) does elaborate on different kinds of fins, personally I think further clarification concerning difference between pelvic and anal fins should be included in the intro to avoid confusion between the two as said image may be partially misleading.
- remove "tend to have" slender bodies - all dogfish species have streamlined body morphology
- remove "known to be" - In comparison to other shark species, dogfish are smaller and more compact in size
- Add Squaliform order comprised of 7 families (see List of sharks page for all), including Squalidae. Squalidae family itself contains only two major genera: Cirrhigaleus (3 species) and Squalus (28 species)
- "Dogfish sharks earned their name... dog-like packs" should probably be moved into beginning of intro as somewhat informal / less important information (^ after "119 species" and before "they have two dorsal fins...")
Edits to body of Squalidae page:
Create Section: breakdown of Squalidae scientific classification including...
- all families & descriptions of each
- all genus of each family & descriptions
- potential color-coded chart?
Create Section: pregnancy and the urogenital system, how the structures look when the shark is pregnant and include images of the eggs and pups from our own dissection. Currently have three sources that go over the physical changes that a dogfish experiences when pregnant as well as developmental stages that are prominent. Also mentions the pups and how they survive being birthed live. I will also be basing a lot of my information on the textbook used during lab, making sure the information I find is correct by having multiple sources with similar information.
