Article is new enough (5x expanded recently) and long enough, well-sourced and neutrally written; Earwig's tool only returned matches to species names, no copyvio detected. Both hooks are cited, interesting, and supported by the Oxford source. I have a slight preference for ALT1 in terms of interest but both will work. QPQ done, good to go!
