• ... that Neocalanus plumchrus adults die after they have finished reproducing? Source: "Following the reproductive period, both adults die at depth, with males decreasing in number prior to females, inferring a prompt death subsequent to fertilization." – [1]

• Hook checks out and is cited correctly. Article is new/long enough, neutral, no obvious copyright violations, no image here, and QPQ is done. In my opinion, the intro should be expanded 2 or 3 more sentences, but this is not a requirement. Nice job here! MX (✉ • ✎) 01:50, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

• Lead has been expanded. Thank you! Look forward to seeing this on the Main Page. MX (✉ • ✎) 18:12, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

• We need a new hook here: it is not uncommon for adult animals to die after reproducing. This is commonplace with insects and certain kinds of fish such as salmon. A new hook needs to be proposed here. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:44, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: ALT1:... that Neocalanus plumchrus is able to uptake dissolved glucose directly from seawater despite its exoskeleton? Source:"However, arthropods have been generally considered incapable of DOM uptake because of their rigid exoskeleton" and "Autoradiographic techniques indicate that Neocalanus plumchrus is capable of removing labelled glucose from seawater" – [2] – available on researchgate.

@Narutolovehinata5: Reping because last response had no signature. RileyBugz^{私に叫ぼう}_私の編集 01:30, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Much better. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:35, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
