I just added the new behavior section. I am new to wikipedia, so please let me know if you have suggestions! Samara levine (talk) 06:22, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Samara. Good work on expanding the article. I can see that you added a lot since the previous edits! I think that the information content is good and the sequence of concepts was clear. I saw some areas of the article that required some grammatical changes, but nothing too major. I hyper-linked some of the scientific terms used that may confuse lay-men. I also added more headings to make the paragraphs more distinct in their content. There are some references (not the ones you added) that also need to be put into the correct format. I'm not sure which parts of the introduction each reference corresponds. GenesBrainsBehaviorNeuroscienceKL (talk)

Great article! Well organized with lots of interesting details. I do have a couple of question--the sexy son and handicap hypothesis are grouped together, is that correct? Also, what is a "survival neutral ornament"? Otherwise, I only made grammatical edits and reworded some redundant and confusing sentences. Katheefwah (talk) 01:56, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey Samara! I like what you wrote and the content that you added, and was a little hesitant in changing anything without consultation. I believe that the order could use perhaps a bit more structuring. Perhaps you could place ornaments and such in a higher place near sexual selection or under runaway selection, seeing as the two highly relate. Either way, there may be a better way to integrate the ornaments into the prior sections. Under the "breeding" section, it may also be helpful to know the average litter size, whether it's restricted, etc. As of now, I have the impression that they produce one egg per mating season, but that's only because of what you put about parental care and high degrees of investment. I feel that normal browsers may not exactly understand this notion. (Timothy Yung)TKYung (talk) 02:19, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Taxonomy Section
This section should have more scientific information. It also needs some references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cobiorower (talk • contribs) 18:25, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

-Do you have any suggestions of where I could find such information? Or additional references? I've struggled finding additional sources for some of these categories. Samara levine (talk) 15:47, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I have found | this site which has some great sources of taxonomy. Rainbow Shifter (talk) 18:17, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
