Talk:Eriopis connexa

Wiki Education assignment: Behavioral Ecology 2024
— Assignment last updated by MiJiEm (talk) 18:41, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi all! I have just updated this page for my first assignment. I have created multiple new sections: Overview, Habitat, Food resources, Life history, Reproduction, and Interactions with humans. I also changed the Distribution section to Geographic range. I have added new information to every section. It is important to note that the previous editor utilized two sources that are not peer-reviewed scientific articles, but they provide valuable information that is not found elsewhere. I have also included many new images from Wikimedia Commons.E.a.eslinger (talk) 03:05, 1 March 2024 (UTC)E.a.eslinger

Review for Behavioral Ecology
I enjoyed reading through this article on the eriopis connexa and thought it was well written and detailed. I particularly enjoyed the section on trophic eggs and found it interesting how females of this species never reach full fertility before laying eggs. I found another article on biological aspects of Eriopis connexa and added some bits of information into the life cycle and agricultural use sections. I was wondering if there could be more behavior found in other members of the Coccinella family that could be applied to this particular beetle, since there seems to be a lot of overlap between this beetle and other beetles of this family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaden.l17 (talk)

Structure
To me, it makes more sense to have the "Description" section as the first section of the article. I feel it includes the most basic information about this beetle, so you may want to consider moving it up. MiJiEm (talk) 21:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Elytra
I noticed in your "Description" section, you hyperlinked the word elytra, but then put in parentheses "wing covers" right after. I feel as though this is redundant. You may want to consider either deleting "(wing covers)" or removing the hyperlink. MiJiEm (talk) 21:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Species name
Is there a reason you sometimes abbreviate the species name and sometimes spell out the whole thing? There is nothing wrong with using both, but it seems more troublesome to write out the entire name every time instead of just using the abbreviated version consistently.

going foward
Overall the article is in good shape and has potential to advance in the ranks of article. There could be additional information added about predation and parasites, as well as the life cycle and senescence. also, does this species have any defenses against predators? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ardenpedraja (talk • contribs) 03:19, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
