Broken reinforcement ref within Speciation

Hi, there's "<ref name="eLS2012">Sætre, Glenn-Peter. (2012). Reinforcement. ''eLS''.</ref>^{[clarification needed]}" in the article. Maybe you're the person to fix it? Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:02, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the link. I don't know a better way to cite it. It could certainly include the DOI. I have cited all the eLS articles I have used in the articles like this. What format would you suggest citing it in? Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 19:13, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe like this? Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 19:18, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sætre, Glenn-Peter (2012). "Reinforcement". eLS. Chichester: John Wiley & Sons Ltd. doi:10.1002/9780470015902.a0001754.pub3.

Absolutely. Or one can put the full thing at the end and use the sfn or other harvard template to refer to it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:25, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request for update on your marsupial map

Hi there. I noticed that you made the map on the worldwide distribution of marsupials. For North America, your map uses the range of the Virginia Opossum from this map. However, the latter map is definitely incorrect. Opossums can absolutely be found in Wisconsin—in fact, I saw one as roadkill this morning. They and I have been residents of Wisconsin for multiple decades. Perhaps a better distribution range map could be found here. I was hoping that you might use your particular set of skills to rectify the map situation for both the Virginia Opossum and Marsupials. Thanks. BirdValiant (talk) 18:43, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BirdValiant, the spatial data for both of those maps comes from the IUCN. The maps shown here are based on the IUCN data and have been used for the creation of the two maps in question. Wisconsin likely does have opossums, as one must consider that biogeographic distributions are approximated data developed by sampling sites, niche modeling, etc. This document might help make sense of it. Wikipedia relies on published, reliable sources for inclusion. It is likely that, somewhere in the scientific literature, detailed, higher resolution mapping of North American marsupials exists. However, these particular maps depend on the IUCN data that is often generated from more than one study. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 20:10, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I will do some research to find out what sources the IUCN data comes from. The book chapter you linked here provides a valuable source for developing a distribution map of Didelphis virginiana. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 20:16, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As it is known in the case of the Virginia Opossum that the IUCN data is factually inaccurate, I suggest adapting the map from the the Gardner and Sunquist chapter, as others have done. BirdValiant (talk) 20:52, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BirdValiant, I updated the global distribution map with the Gardner & Sunquist (2003) and Kanda et al. (2003). Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 23:59, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Birds (section from Evidence of speciation by reinforcement)

The section on Birds is in dire need of disambiguation. I'm reading the cited article at [1] for reference.

The section starts out

The flycatcher

Ficedula hypoleuca has brown females and black and white males,

while F. albicollis has brown females and black and white males.

This is not nearly as helpfully descriptive as expected? Was the intent to say that both species are near identically colored and patterned, with small differences (the amount of white at neck and sometimes white on tail sides)? That in their separate allopatric areas they are very similar to each other?

(It might help also to note the common names here, the pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca and the collared flycatcher F. albicollis, to reinforce slightly that different birds are being discussed. Hmm, hypoleuca for having less white at the neck vs. albicollis having a complete white collar? Wow, Latin so transparent?)

It continues

Brown males are only found in the zone where the two species populations overlap, which the brown morph is thought to have evolved to prevent sterile hybrids.

Umm, which species has the brown morph? Both? If both, how could that do anything?

After reading the article (a couple of times) it appears that it is saying that in the sympatric areas (see figure 1) F. hypoleuca tends(?) toward the brown male form, while F. albicollis maintains its allopatric form. Thus it is F. hypoleuca females preferentially choosing the non-allopatric coloration - at least within the sympatric areas - that is key to all this.

Anyway, the text as-is says "mysterious magic" without describing that magic. Can you revise? Shenme (talk) 02:25, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like there was an incorrect statement. I edited it to clarify. Hopefully this helps.

"The flycatchers exhibit a pattern that suggests premating isolation is being reinforced by sexual selection. The pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) has brown females, brown males, and black-and-white males. The related collard flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) has brown females and only black-and-white males. The two species exist in separate populations that overlap in a zone of sympatry. In the range of overlap, only brown males of F. hypoleuca exist and are thought to have evolved the brown plumage to prevent hybridization.

Mating choice tests of the species find that females of both species choose conspecific males in sympatry, but heterospecific males in allopatry. The patterns could suggest mimicry, driven by interspecific competition; however, song divergence has been detected that shows a similar pattern to the mating preferences."

changes to Credit score in the United States

With the creation of Criticism of credit scoring systems in the United States (split of content that had been recently added to Credit score in the United States), is there any particular reason that the article wasn't restored to its state prior to the recently-added content?

The structure we are left with in the version of the article following the split makes any existing problems worse. Specifically, in the old version, "FICO credit scores" are directly under "credit scoring models", as are VantageScore and other credit scores, while in the new version, FICO scores are the only category of credit scores under "credit scoring models", while other credit scoring models are relegated to a separate "other credit scores" section. Also, in the pre-existing article, these different categories of credit scores were loosely ranked from greater relevance to lesser relevance (e.g. FICO, the most well-known scoring family, is listed first, followed by VantageScore the next most well-known scoring family).

There may be some sections in the pre-existing article that are more suitable for the Criticism article, but I think it's fine to do that over time. I'm just mostly focused on retaining the pre-existing structure of the original article except to the extent that there's a good reason to be changing it. Fabrickator (talk) 05:39, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question about the Observance Universe art

To Andrew Z. Colvin

I've wondered if you ever lent your Universe art to any books, as I've to recall seeing a detailed diagram like yours in an astronomy book before 2010. Do you know the diagram was yours, as it seems to match your chart?

If so, that was your diagram in said book. I want to say it was an excellent visual form to be seen in an astronomy book. Do you remember any of the publishers you might've lent your diagram to since I've lost my copy of said book and hope to retrieve the book for my father? If you knew who any of the books you might've published from 2003 until 2009. (Note: Not asking you to buy, but if you could remember any of the books)

By the way, I love your other art and the other things on your Wikipedia page.

Citation for The Great Risk Shift ...

The citation which you originally inserted for "The Great Risk Shift ..." (now in Criticism of credit scoring systems in the United States) does not contain a page number, so there's no reasonable way to verify this. (Frankly, I am somewhat skeptical of the suggestion that FICO is somehow motivated by a "loss of collective social services" ... but I should at least see the supporting source before reaching a conclusion.) Please consider including a brief quote if it's not in the text that's freely available. Thanks. Fabrickator (talk) 05:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So it is actually the premise of the book in its entirety. The thesis is that economic insecurity is being driven by neoliberal policy and one of the methods is to eliminate social safety nets. The book talks extensively about credit and debt. Unfortunately, Google Books does not have all the pages available, so I will have to order the book to find the exact reference. Andrew Z.
