Talk:Sicklefin lemon shark/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Hi Yzx, another excellent shark article! Just a few comments/questions before I pass it:


 * "...suggest that there is little exchange between regional subpopulations." Not sure exchange is the best word here
 * Changed to "intermingling".


 * consider linking or explaining symphysis so that the reader doesn't end up thinking that it's a fancy synonym for center
 * Changed.


 * "The fins (especially the dorsal, pectoral, and pelvics) of the sicklefin lemon shark are more falcate..." falcate?
 * Added definition.


 * "This shark seldom undertakes long movements." Maybe specify "long distance"
 * Changed to "long-distance movements".


 * aside: I never knew there was such as thing as a guitarfish. Cool!
 * They are; it's unfortunate that rays don't receive nearly as much scientific attention as sharks.


 * "...ovulation and mating for non-pregnant females..." Is it necessary to specify non-pregnant? Do pregnant females ovulate and mate?
 * Because the reproductive cycle is biennual, in any given year half the females are pregnant (or have just given birth) and don't mate, and the other half are non-pregnant and mate.


 * any info on lifespan?
 * Not that I'm aware.


 * the max known length is given, but how about the typical length? Is is similar for males and females?
 * Amended.

I've addressed the points; let me know of any others. -- Yzx (talk) 00:46, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
