General comments, feedback, or questions:

How can the introduction section - where they say what ecoinformatics even is - be improved? The introduction isn't great, but I'm not sure how to make it better.


 * For the original article, I do not like how there is a “however” in the first paragraph. It feels like the original author is trying to disprove themselves before they fully expanded on the topic. I think simply removing that word would be great!
 * I do not know much about ecoinformatics, so the introduction looks fine to me! If you want to make further edits, I suggest changing the tone and phrasing of the introduction to strengthen it (like removing “however,” “a few definitions”).
 * Not sure if mentioning “ecosystem services” at the end is necessary.

What else can I add to better contextualize the applications across different disciplines of ecology?


 * I think the applications are great! I also think it would not hurt to do some “handholding” in terms of explaining how it relates to ecoinformatics. Otherwise, it feels like you’re just explaining what subdisciplines of ecology are, not necessarily how ecoinformatics is used in those settings.
