@Bomapoodle: Hello and welcome to DYK! Unfortunately, the hook might not be a good fit for DYK as it's somewhat specialist, meaning unless someone is well-versed in biology they might not necessarily get what the hook is trying to say. I would suggest proposing a hook or two that's targeted more towards readers who may not known much about biology. In addition, the current hook is also confusing: it's not clear that Euwallacea validus is actually a beetle rather than a fungus, a possible misinterpretation given the wording.

The nominator has not edited since the day of the nomination, and the WikiEdu course they were part of has ended its Wikipedia part. As it is unlikely for them to return, there no longer appears to be a path forward for the nomination. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

There was a good, engaging overview. I added more links throughout the paper to help the reader for words such as vector, declivity, tubercle, sexual dimorphism, etc. Otherwise, the page was well-written and explained things well. I thought that this writer did well in maintaining a neutral voice. I had few grammar and syntax changes. To add to the page, I also added another picture to the article. My only suggestion would be to add more to the diet section to expand on it a bit more. No other comments or concerns! Great job on this article. Hahelen (talk) 17:35, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

This article is interesting and had a lot of good information that was easy to understand! I made some grammar and syntax edits throughout the article. I also changed "spp." to "species" in the last section (Relationship with fungi) since "spp." was not used in previous sections. Throughout the article there were also many quotes taken from articles, which can be helpful, but I suggest paraphrasing some of them. I also suggest adding more information on the Ambrosia Fusarium clade and Fusarium solani species complex to give more context on how this species interacts with other species and fungi. Overall, this was a great article! Cvj.005 (talk) 19:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

The article is thorough and well-written. I paraphrased the quoted statements in the distribution and habitat section, as some of the information did not need to be quoted directly from the source, and slightly changed some wording in the life cycle section. In the diet section, I am not sure whether the female Euwallacea beetles referred to the genus or the E. validus species, so it might help to specify which one is being referred to. For future edits, some sections about the beetle’s behavior, such as reproduction and mating, would be nice additions to the article. Overall, this article was clear and well done!
