Starting review, apologies for the delays--Kev min § 22:00, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article new enough and long enough, with all sections cited and sources acceptable under ref guidelines. No policy issues identified with the article and no copyvios seen in prose. The hooks are both cited and verified, though I think a more hooky hook could be made from the initial day observation but evasion and subsequent night collection.--Kev min § 01:56, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 ... that when unable to catch Cyrtodactylus santana during the day, scientists returned to its caves under the cover of darkness?

Alt 2 looks good, everything seems good to go now.--Kev min § 18:53, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
