I have removed the following paragraph from the article that was added by User:Gdaviso in 2012. This paragraph was inappropriately inserted at the end of the article (when it should have been integrated into the article) and the style does not conform to the Wikipedia Manual of Style (see, e.g., WP:CREDENTIAL). Feel free to reintegrate this information back into the article after editing it to correct the aforementioned problems. Biogeographist (talk) 17:49, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
