WashU Course

Apologies for the late update! I am working on this page for a class assignment and have spent a while doing the research. I added in all the information I found, and will be adding in a description, resources, and images ASAP! Z.kelley

Hello. I added images, resources, and a description of the butterfly. Thanks for your patience with me on this article!

Edits

Hello, I'm one of the peer editors for Kelley Zhao. I cleaned up some of your wording that I thought could be clearer and any typos that I found. I also added links for some words that may not be well known, and I cleaned up your category titles, since some were a little long or unnecessary. Lastly, I noticed that you don't have any sources for what you wrote in "Home Range", "Host plant" and "Taxonomy and Phylogenetics", so it would be great if you could add those whenever you can! Otherwise, it was a great article that I found very interesting. Let me know if you have any questions! Lily1004 (talk) 04:51, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kelley, This was a really interesting and well researched article. I made a few important edits: "Taxonomy and Phylogenetics" was the same information as the taxobox, so I removed it; I also removed pictures that seemed out of place, especially in the gallery where there were several pictures of the same thing. Then I went through and made some minor sentence edits throughout the article. I would recommend clarifying what you mean by "early stage succession" since I didn't really know what that was, and removing pieces of information that are repeated multiple times. For example, the fact that the larvae eat aphid secretions is mentioned at least four times. Other than that the writing looks good! Mnoronha456 (talk) 01:46, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Kelley, Just a few big things I thought might be important if you wanted to upgrade this article. One, add some sort of endangered species box on the right side of the page if you are able. Two, add more to the adults section if possible. Three, consider combining the "Chemical mimicry" section in to the "Mechanisms of overcoming host" section, since they are partially repetitive and function similarly. Great job!

Edits For Behavioral Ecology

Hello,

First of all, this is a very well written article with a lot of great information. I edited a few sentences including one in the Habitat section just to make the article flow better. Additionally, I edited a few sentences in the "Mutualism" section to ensure their neutrality. I also think the "Adult" section of the Life Cycle can be expanded. It was a little short and I found a few extra sources that can be added to that section. Similarly, the "Eggs" section of the Life Cycle can also be expanded. I also have an organizational suggestion. Instead of having a separate gallery with only three pictures in it, I would distribute the pictures through the article at relevant points. For example, a picture of the adult could be put in the life cycle section. There is one important concern that I have. The information in the "Description Section" does not have a source. Please add a source for this information. I also removed the paragraph break in that section because I thought it was not needed. vkrishnan2 (talk) 01:25, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion! I went ahead and redistributed the images in the gallery throughout the article. Z.kelley

Behavioral Ecology edits

This article has a lot of greta potential and I think that you did a great job developing it, especially because you used a lot of peer reviewed articles, which is important because it helps the reader know that the information that you provided is reliable and accurate. I thought that the physiology portion was interesting, but I think that the title should be changed because it doesn't really make sense to have "chemical production" be a heading in the physiology section. Also, it would be great if you could find information about other aspects of physiology like hearing, flight , visions etc. I thought you did a great job with the parasitism part - it was very detailed and thorough! However, for food resources, you covered caterpillar food resources but not adult food resources. also, for parental care, you only covered oviposition so it would be helpful if you covered other aspects as well. The host plant section is also pretty short, so it would be great if you expanded more on that. Balanced coverage is important, so it would be helpful if you expanded on some of the short sections. I liked the use of the pictures! Overall, great job!
