" with the number of eggs increasing according to a power law with carapace width" - Although the link to "power law" is explanatory, I think this information could be given in simpler English to match the straightforward style of other parts of the article.
I have struggled to find a good way to gloss "power law" without going into far too much detail. I am open to suggestions, but I haven't been able to produce anything suitable. --Stemonitis (talk) 12:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"At 29 °C (84 °F), the eggs can take only 9 or 10 days to develop, and this increases to 16 days at temperatures of 20 °C (68 °F)." - Maybe "but" would be better.
In general, the article has a number of sources but is quite short. One of the GA criteria is that an article should be broad in its scope. Is it possible to enlarge the "Description" section or provide more information on the crab's habitat or behaviour? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:02, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I've been so slow on this – lots of other things have been consuming my time. I don't feel like I've done all that much to this article since the review started, although I think I've covered all your points. Do let me know if there's anything else you'd like improved. --Stemonitis (talk) 12:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
MOS guidelines mostly followed. The lead section could be expanded to better summarize the article contents. Mention of D. texanus in the lead is confusing. I am happy with the improvements made.
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
References are well formatted.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
