Etmopterus

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article is relevant to the species, Etmopterus molleri, that I intend to edit as it includes information about the genus that the species page I intend to edit is a part of. Additionally, my group is working on the wikipedia page of another species in the Etmopterus family so I wanted to evaluate the content of the genus to understand what information always exists as we work together for the project.

Evaluate the article
The lead in provides a solid overview of the classification of the Etmopterus genus, as long as the distribution of the species. There is limited information about the ecology of the genus, providing a basic description of a symbiosis that it has with a parasite. The only other information present is the time period in with the Etmopterus genus evolved and pictures of two species in the genus. The tone of the article is neutral and presents facts about the genus. There are limited sources, which is expected given the lack of robust information provided on the page. Overall, the article is underdeveloped and has room to include more information although what is currently present is valid and a starting point to build off of.
