Peer review of "Seabirds: Adaptations to Life at Sea" edit (from Christopher Dollete)
•I love the use of in-text citations. Because of this, I can trust that the information is pulled from an outside credible source, and therefore can be trusted.

•I do agree that the last sentence of that first paragraph under “Adaptations to Life at Sea,” should be edited. It seems to suggest that the entire order of Procellariforms has a great sense of smell. Your paragraph says that while the burrowing type does have a great sense of smell, the type that nests on the surface does not, instead having much greater sight. This shows that what the article states may not be entirely correct and I think it’s editing to correct it, and I think its important to let everyone know the nature and reason of the edit in the talk page.

•I am a little confused by the sentence that says that the birds detect dimethyl sulfide to track prey. I feel that it is a little too general. I read in your source, “The influence of developmental environment on the evolution of olfactory foraging behavior in procellariform seabirds,” that zooplankton feeding on phytoplankton releases DSP into the air. That might be too much to add into that sentence, and is a bit too specific in my opinion, but maybe a general version of that information can indicate where the Dimethyl sulfide comes from. I do think that this is subjective and that my suggested edit may not be necessary, but I think it is worth taking a look at.
