Thank you so much for looking at the work that I have thus far. the improved structure of my article: introduction summary behavioural response to stress definition list of behavioural responses Behavioural stress response can be transgenerational Post traumatic stress disorder in animals References Also, I will make sure I will reference the articles correctly. And will do my best to write more passively and to avoid using direct roots of words. Thank you for the feedback Reb144 (talk) 22:23, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review
Looks like you have made a very strong start on creating an original article. My suggestions are as follows:

1) When defining a term or topic, try to avoid using the root of the word(s). Currently your definition is "Stress responses are any responses that an organism does or goes through in response to a stressor that is causing a stress". I suggest changing it to be something like, "A stress response is an action or reaction that is caused by a real or perceived threat".

2) Make sure to use the proper format when including in-text citations. Here is a link to the tutorial if needed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing_sources

3) As you are creating a new article, don't forget to make a strong "lead" section. This differs from a traditional introduction as it summarizes the entire article. In my opinion, it is quite similar to abstract of a journal article.

That's it for now. Let me know if you have any questions.
