Zygospore

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Because I was using that page and realized it was a stub, and could use some improvement.

Evaluate the article
Lead section is a simple summary, since there isn't much content to the rest of the article.

Content Content could also be improved by including a better link than "protists", which is an outdated classification, algae (based on the sources below),

Tone seems pretty neutral.

Sources - we could get more recent information in there, probably from a better diversity of source researchers. One more recent article, lead authored by a woman is:

Permann, C., Herburger, K., Felhofer, M., Gierlinger, N., Lewis, L.A. and Holzinger, A., 2021. Induction of Conjugation and Zygospore Cell Wall Characteristics in the Alpine Spirogyra mirabilis (Zygnematophyceae, Charophyta): Advantage under Climate Change Scenarios?. Plants, 10(8), p.1740.

And another recent article is: de Carpentier, F., Lemaire, S.D. and Danon, A., 2019. When unity is strength: the strategies used by Chlamydomonas to survive environmental stresses. Cells, 8(11), p.1307.

Organization & Writing Quality is fine:

Images and Media could be improved by adding an image (we could take this image in the lab).

Talk page discussions: it's a medium-importance stub on wikiproject fungi, so it's worth working on.

Overall impressions: the article is so short! it seems like it's missing a lot.
