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

Option 1

 * Sarracenia purpurea:
 * "Start" class. Some places where citations are needed. Prey species characterization could use more detail. Size, pitcher orientation and growth patterns, nutrient transfer are absent but I believe recent papers have provided more information on these topics. Explanation of the sterility and colonization of new pitchers would be great to add. New information on biocontrol may be available.:

Option 2

 * Colpodea:
 * This one is a stub! Could use more information and citation around size, diet, identification, and diversity. I know from my own research that many of the resources will be in German. This is somewhat of an understudied class (as are many classes of protists) so references may dry up at a certain point. I may have some original SEM images that I took myself. Alternatively, there are many other published images that could be added to help the reader visualize the diversity of the class.

Option 3

 * Microbial cyst:
 * "Start" classification, give me more to edit and less to generate de novo. Either under-sourced, or sources have been pulled from in large sections. Article focuses mostly on the formation of cysts to escape unfavorable conditions, but does not touch much on its potential for aiding in dispersal (esp. for species that need to get from one body of water to the next). The "other animals" section could also be expanded to include a list of linked pages for different taxa. :
