Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Founder effect


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think the article is underdeveloped. It could use more content to explain some of the topics and it could use more references.

Bordage, E. 1916. Vegetable and Animal Repopulation in Krakatoa Isles since the Eruption of 1883. Annales de Géographie. 25(133): 1-22.
 * Sources

Treub, M. 1888. Note on the new flora of Krakatau. Annales du Jardin botanique de Buitenzorg 7: 213-223.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Population bottleneck


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is missing information about loss of alleles. It is only mentioned in the lead section. There are no equations showing the probability of losing alleles during a bottleneck. It has a Founder effect section. Perhaps Founder effect doesn't need its own page. Maybe it should be part of this one.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Genetic diversity


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article doesn't seem to differentiate neutral genetic diversity and functional genetic diversity. It also doesn't seem to explain how adaptive potential can be quantified, such as the 'additive coefficient of variation' and evolvability equations.

 * Dussex, N., J. von Seth, B. C. Robertson, and L. Dalen. 2018b. Full mitogenomes in the critically endangered kaˉkaˉpoˉ reveal major post-glacial and anthropogenic effects on neutral genetic diversity. Genes 9(4): 220.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Wildlife forensic science


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article appears to be a new article written by a student in a current Wiki Education Foundation-supported course. Is it okay to add to articles that are currently assigned to a student in another course at a different university? Should I ask on the Talk page? Since the article is new it is very small. There are a lot of references, but most of them are not attached to any content within the article.

 * Baker, C. S., F. Cipriano, and S. R. Palumbi. 1996. Molecular genetic identification of whale and dolphin products from commercial markets in Korea and Japan. Molecular Ecology 5: 671–687.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Speyeria zerene hippolyta


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article includes information about the conservation of the species, but very little information about the species itself. Perhaps the article title should be the common name rather than the scientific name. I think the article could include sections and most of the current content could go under a section called Conservation efforts or something of that effect. Other sections could be Habitat, Range, Taxonomy, Phylogeny and evolution, Diet, Genetics, etc. For example, the article could be modeled after articles for other species such as the Cheetah.
