M.s.w.lee (talk) 20:34, 20 October 2020 (UTC) I added a lead section, home range and territoriality section, and interaction sections, added information to several sections.

M.s.w.lee (talk) 00:23, 21 October 2020 (UTC) I added more information to mating section, social behavior, and enemies sections. I changed the plants subheading to agricultural impact and added some more information there as well

Behavioral Ecology Student Suggestions
I thought this article was really well-written, thorough, and well-cited. I made a couple formatting edits by removing the heading "Lead Section" and moving that section up to get rid of the white space at the top of the article. I also moved the images to the right side of the page to make the text more uniform. Finally, I moved the images down to the Webs section since both were images of webs. Overall, I found this to be a really good and interesting article. RenaBio472 (talk) 00:50, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

I edited the introduction a bit to take out niche details that were better for the bottom sections. I also edited the Habitat Distribution section (moved around a few sentences) and also edited some grammar errors. I liked the description because it included details that are unique to this specific species of spider. Overall a well-written article with lots of great research. 172.221.128.91 (talk) 17:38, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

I have made grammar and syntax edits to make the writing more concise and reader friendly. I have rearranged information to better align with each section; for example, I moved a sentence from the "Habitat" section to the "Description" section because it entailed information about the physical appearance of the spider. I have also rearranged an image to be on the left side to prevent the article formatting from getting too monotonous. A suggestion I would make for the writer would be to add more footnotes. I tried to insert a footnote to cite how this spider was found in Florida in 2000, but I was unable to do so. Overall, a very informative and straightforward article.

Behavioral Ecology Peer Review
Outstanding article, I'm so impressed by all of the sections that have been added and how much information is in the article. I mainly edited the Lead Section; I made some grammatical changes, fixed some awkward phrasing, and deleted the last paragraph because the lead section is supposed to be shorter than what it previously was. I would suggest deleting another paragraph of the lead section as well but I didn't want to delete to much. I moved the last paragraph of the Description section to the Habitat and Distribution section because I felt it fit much better there. In the "Webs" section, there were a few places where I took out wording like "Research suggests" and "studies found", because I found out in the comments on my article that those phrases are unnecessary and the information should just be given as it is.

I went back and removed extraneous words. I tried to condense information when possible and made a few grammatical edits. M.s.w.lee (talk) 23:24, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Contradiction
The intro says

"this spider does not build orb webs"

And the Web type paragraph says

"Cyrtophora citricola build horizontal orb webs''"

At least superficially this is contradictory. So something needs to be changed or clarified. --Ettrig (talk) 11:24, 21 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, the article needs a thorough re-working. Rypstra (1979) at (I have institutional access) says the species builds "fine-meshed, horizontal, non-adhesive orb webs in large colonies". So they build orb webs that are not typical of araneids, since these are normally more-or-less vertical and sticky, and solitary. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:22, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
