Hi AryKun, I've completed my review. Only a few issues, all of which I think are easily dealt with. Let me know if you have any questions or ping me once you've had a look. Thanks! grungaloo (talk) 22:47, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Pushpin map needs label.
- Added.
"is a species of frog in the robust frog family Nyctibatrachidae." - "robust frog family" sounds odd to me, I like how it was rewritten for N robinmoorei.
- Done.
"The species is one of 34 species in the night frog genus Nyctibatrachus, in the robust frog family Nyctibatrachidae." - "night frog" and "robust frog" again. Change to make it clear they're not adjectives.
- Done.
"The following cladogram shows relationships among these species, acoording to the 2017 study that described the species." - according, typo.
- Fixed.
"The side of the head is light greyish-brown" - The sides of the head are
- Done.
"the discs on third finger and fourth toe being slightly sider than the finger and toe, respectively" - "the discs on the third finger and fourth toe..."
- Done.
"Males vocalise by giving pulsed calls, with each note being 139.9 milliseconds long and six pulses are given per call, at a rate of 45.6 notes per second. " - I think saying that each note is 139.9 milliseconds is slightly incorrect since "note" seems to be roughly synonymous with how "pulse" is used in the source. If that's your intent then 139.9 msec refers to the entire call and not a singular note/pulse. You can change it to "which each call being 139.9 msec" and that should fix it.
Another comment on this sentence—the overall flow feels a bit off, although I can't exactly figure out what needs to change. I think it's how the clauses are broken up—"each note being 139 msec long and six pulses are given per call"—this almost feels like a run-on sentence even though it's not. Let me know what you think, if I come up with a suggestion I'll let you know.
- Addressing both the above comments; I've reworded the sentence to make it sound less run-on and use wording closer to that of the source.
"Males have been observed vocalizing close to clutches they are guarding." - Since only a single male has been observed calling in this manner, can we generalize it to say "Males have been observed..."? The way the sentence is written implies this is typical behaviour, which isn't supported by the source. The source doesn't generalize this observation, so I think it would be appropriate to follow suit.
- Tweaked.
Grungaloo, see replies inline above. AryKun (talk) 09:20, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
