Do you know why specifically it was named after Temminck? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 20:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I can't read Danish, but I don't think Lund said. Enwebb (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"though at least one author considers it monotypic with no subspecies" it seems you're only talking about Eger, so you just say Eger considers it monotypic. Also, who's Eger? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 20:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Judith Eger, mammalogist and the person who wrote that part of Mammals of South America. Revised phrasing. Enwebb (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"this is particularly noticeable in skull measurements" do you have the skull measurements showing this? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 20:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Adding more information from the source to say why the authors noted skull dimorphism. Enwebb (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Done. Enwebb (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"groups of up to three individuals" this implies a max of 3 User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 20:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Rephrased to better match language of the source. 3 or fewer is typical, but larger numbers have been found ("M. temminckii usually lives in small groups of up to three individuals (Vizotto and Taddei 1976; Barquez et al. 1999; Siles 2007). Groups of 10–15 individuals roosting below the bark of white saman trees"). Enwebb (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Where do the 3 subspecies live? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 14:45, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Added. Enwebb (talk) 15:54, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
