Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because starfish a keystone species and play a major role in the marine ecosystem. Starfish are one of my favorite animals and I often seem them in the tide pools  in Bolinas. This article focuses on a specific species of starfish, the bat star, that are common in California and important to understanding. The current article is well written and includes some information on the animal, however it is missing categories like behavior, habitat, life cycle, and more. I think it is important to include all/most of these subcategories to fully understand the importance of the bat star.
