Which article are you evaluating?
Poikilotherm

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I am interested in the thermal regulation of animals. We as humans are homeotherms, while the majority of oceanic species are poikilotherms. I feel like this is a topic I would be referring to because I am willing to learn more about the thermal regulation of our chosen phytoplankton species.

Evaluate the article
Content

-the content was straight-forward and concise. It clearly describes the main idea, physiology, adaptions, and ecology of poikilotherms.

-clearly the physiology section was targeted towards non-scientific audience. The enzymatic reactions in poikilotherm could be elaborated more.

Tone

-the article was written in a non-biased manner. The facts were clearly stated an presented in an objective tone.

Sources

-all the information was clearly cited, with relevant and fine sources

-the citations are quite old. Recent articles could be cited

Talk page

-this page was mainly filled with questions, not so much on concerns on general information, citations, formatting...etc.

-The question "Are all poikilotherms also ectotherms?" was asked along with other general questions, which is reasonable because poikilotherm is an older term and most people are not familiar with it

Overall-this article was clear and easy to understand

-more information could be added onto the current medical use section
