Article you are reviewing: Koala


 * 1) First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?

The article talks about how koalas can thermoregulate behaviorally by going to different places in their microhabitat.


 * 1) What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?

I would suggest less information on studies going on and more known information about them.


 * 1) What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?

The addition of information about how Koala’s thermoregulation is important with the threat of global warming.


 * 1) Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? If so, what?

Yes. I need to add in text citations.


 * 1) Are the sections organized well, in a sensible order? Would they make more sense presented some other way (chronologically, for example)? Specifically, does the information they are adding to the article make sense where they are putting it?

The organization of the article is good.


 * 1) Is each section's length equal to its importance to the article's subject? Are there sections in the article that seem unnecessary? Is anything off-topic?

The sections length is acceptable and it is on topic.


 * 1) Does the article draw conclusions or try to convince the reader to accept one particular point of view?

The article is not biased.


 * 1) Are there any words or phrases that don't feel neutral? For example, "the best idea," "most people," or negative associations, such as "While it's obvious that x, some insist that y."

The article seems very neutral except maybe the parts talking about one specific group of researchers.


 * 1) Are most statements in the article connected to a reliable source, such as textbooks and journal articles? Or do they rely on blogs or self-published authors?

The sources are reliable.


 * 1) Are there a lot of statements attributed to one or two sources? If so, it may lead to an unbalanced article, or one that leans too heavily into a single point of view.

There are many sources used relatively equally.


 * 1) Are there any unsourced statements in the article, or statements that you can't find stated in the references? Just because there is a source listed, doesn't mean it's presented accurately!

Everything seems to be sourced correctly.
