Peer review edit

Hi! I looked over your article and it looks great. It was very interesting to read about your moth. I proofread your article and made changes in terms of grammar, structure, citations, etc. Hopefully it’ll read more smoothly, and I also added hyperlinks to some terms for clarity. I also changed the formatting of your subsections, which was a minor detail. One thing I noticed is that a lot of your information in the Egg section could fall under a new subsection for Oviposition, under Parental Care (which is in the outline we were given). So one suggestion I have is that you could split up the Egg section and find more information on oviposition habits, if possible. Overall, great job! J.j.lee (talk) 01:06, 28 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

I went back and added some more links to uncommon terms, such as species of plants. I also changed the wording or added some punctuation of some sentences throughout your article for clarity and accuracy. I noticed you are missing a citation for the last part of your overview. Also, in your "Life cycle" section, it could be possible to create a subsection for senescence as I noticed you have a lot of relevant information throughout the section already. In the "Pheromones" section, could you possibly clarify what you mean by an antennectomized female? Finally, I think some more technical concepts in “Irradiation” and “Genetic engineering” could be clarified. For example, is the frequency of the resistant allele as high as 0.001 percent of the population? Could you clarify what an F1 female is for readers who may not know? Overall, great job!

Looked over your article and I thought you did a great job. As I was reading the article I felt your ideas flowed seamlessly and there was more than enough information present. I made some grammatical fixes in different places of the article. I also removed the external link subsection it is because it was already present in the References section.

Behavioral Ecology WikiProject Peer Review edit

Hello! Great article! I found it to be very informative. I made a couple of slight grammatical errors throughout the article, and removed various links that did not work. I also changed some sentence structure and kept the verb tense consistent throughout each section. I added links to various terms throughout the article. I suggest maybe adding a separate Oviposition section since it is mentioned in the Egg life cycle section, a Pheromone section since it is mentioned in the Sampling section, and a Mimicry section if there is more information available on the corn ear worm moth. Overall, great work! Pranita.kaginele (talk) 03:11, 29 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I am taking a look and making some straightforward copyedits as I go. I'll jot questions/issues below:

  • It needs a Taxonomy section as first section, including such information as when it was described and by whom, what its name means, what it is related to, common name and alternative common names.
  • It needs a Description section describing what it looks like and how it can be distinguished from related or similar-looking species. I'd make the life cycle material a subsection of this, moving the adult material to the top.
  • Try and avoid one-sentence paragraphs. Combine or expand if possible.
  • The lead is a summary of important points of the article, so a brief description of the adult's appearance should be there.

Anyway, I'll go into more detail if I see some activity. Cheers. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:38, 29 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, nothing's happening here so it's a fail for the time being. If anyone is keen to do the above and re-nominate, ping me and I will be happy to take a look Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:37, 7 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
