Talk:Nebria brevicollis

Modifications (19 Mar. 2024)
I mostly edited the structure of some of the sections to better clarify what was being talked about, particularly the section titled Predation. I also hyperlinked a bunch of words that I thought would be helpful to have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommytrope (talk • contribs) 18:45, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Modifications (26 Feb. 2024)
I have conducted online research regarding the beetle and have added information to this article. I have concerned myself with the behavior of the beetle. I wrote a a lead section, included a more details regarding the description of the beetle, and added to the 'Distribution and habitat' discussion. I expanded on the information provided by the original author regarding the presence of the beetle in Oregon and the implication that that might have. I included a new paragraph titled 'Physiology', which explains the ground-dwelling nature of N. brevicollis. Furthermore, I included a paragraph titled 'Behavior' with the sub-paragraphs 'Breeding and lifespan' and Predation'. Then, I finished with including a paragraph on human interaction. In addition to providing the article with new information, I edited the citations of the previous author and included more images to convey the information being presented.

 * Nicely written information! I reorganized some of the headings as I felt they functioned better as their own sections instead of subheadings. I also added an interesting bit about the diet of Nebria brevicollis. Croujay (talk) 03:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Peer Review
I thought this article seemed well written with great detail. I added links to some technical terms, whether for the first time or to usages earlier in the article. I also made several edits in various sections to sentence structure for improved clarity and reduced redundancy. I think that there should be additional information added to the food resources section, especially given that it has a subsection under it when the section has one sentence overall. I also think that the life history and behavior sections can be either condensed or divided into subsections. They contain long blocks of text that seem to go into too much detail regarding research studies with specific mentions to certain researchers. Perhaps, a research section with subsections for life history and behavior may be more appropriate. Owen Guo (talk) 03:51, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
