Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead


 * The wording in this section is a little funky and could be clearer.
 * Could be split into more sentences; current sentence is a bit lengthy.
 * Concise without too much detail though, looks good otherwise!

Content


 * Distinction
 * This might be better suited as a "description" section, rather than distinction. Although it is important to point out similarities that might lead the reader to misidentification, it may be more beneficial to describe notable characteristics of the species first and foremost, without comparison, for clarity.
 * Im not sure if "according to the Virginia marine products board" is necessary if you have a citation there. Getting rid of it may make your article sound more concise.
 * Distribution and Ecology
 * Not sure what you mean by "reedominate" the deep continental shelf. Do you mean in a succession sense?
 * This sentence as a whole could be restructured for easier readability.
 * Capitalize proper nouns such as Maine and Mexico.
 * I would extend US to United States for clarity and easier readability.
 * When you say that females predominate in deeper waters, do you mean immature females? Or do they migrate to shallow waters to reproduce and migrate back?
 * I would make the description of the reproductive habits and the descrition of the carapace to different sentences.
 * The word "predominate" is used a lot in this paragraph, maybe a more diverse vocabulary might make this section clearer.
 * You seem to contradict yourself a bit, at first say that in shallow waters its predominately reproductive adults, but then later on you say that females release larvae that migrate to surface waters. This might be confusing for a reader who does not know sub habitats of aquatic environments very well.
 * This section seems very heavily dependent on their movement in the water throughout their lives, which is important, but might be better off in its own section.
 * For the ecology aspect, it might be beneficial to go into more detail on their places in the food web, or relationships they might have with other organisms in the water.
 * Development
 * A great start to this section, but could definitely go into more detail about their larval stage or egg life cycles.
 * Maybe also a description of the differences in the 4 stages of embryonic development would also be helpful.
 * As Food
 * This is a great start for a section, but "Chaceon quinquedens and humans" or something of that sort might be a better option for a name for the subsection. "As food" can refer to a lot of things, including non-human animals.
 * You could also talk about human impacts on their populations due to fishing, or if they can be bred and harvested in captivity.
 * Other Info
 * This is good information that might fit in an ecology section perhaps with a subsection for diseases. However, I would find or add the name of the disease if it is known.

Tone and Balance


 * Article is not biased towards any view point and does not attempt to persuade viewers of any idea or opinion.

Sources and References


 * References are not present anywhere in the article body. There are three peer-reviewed sources in a reference section, but none of them are used to cite any information within the article.
 * Two of the sources are very current, but one is very old and might not be as accurate as it was.
 * One source has good detailed information on the embryonic development, but this information is not discussed in detail in the article so far.
 * None of the sources have clickable links, and only two are actually accessible by copy-pasting doi links.

Organization


 * Although information present is good and provides good framework for a well-informed article, some of it is difficult to fully read and understand.
 * Some information either contradicts itself or is unclear in wording.
 * Some grammatical errors are present that somewhat disrupt the flow of the articles.
 * some capitalization errors.
 * Sections could have clearer names, or information could be switched around to fit them better.

Images and Media


 * None present within the article, although some could be added for easier understanding.
 * Pictures highlighting key features of the species, or key differences between similar species.
 * A graph or picture that might help describe the movement patterns of the crabs in the "Distribution and Ecology section".
 * A map of where they are typically distributed could also be helpful.
