Interesting life, good sources. The hook is too general for my taste, unless you want to advertise the Neotropics. I would prefer something like ... in Costa Rica and Brazil, he studied the behavior of monkeys, woolly opossums, and birds - only an example, want to try? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:11, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I know the article is not terribly exciting. I'm open to suggestions. – Maky ^« talk » 05:39, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. Either of the suggested hooks could be used as both are well cited (I find the original hook interesting). The article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:15, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
