Evolution section of Aposematism article
Hi, welcome and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. I've had a quick look at the new section. It seems to contain some useful material, but to be rather too far down in academic detail for the article; this is not an examination but an encyclopedia. We must assume a general readership. The style of the rest of the article should be a clue: the sections are short, and focus strongly on the animals and their natural history, rather than on theories.

Thus rather than 'Theory A says this about neophobia [a term few readers will have heard, and fewer know any Greek nowadays...] and theory B says that' we could say 'If predators fear novel-looking prey ...' and leave out most of the doubts and concerns of the theorists.

It is likely we can leave all or almost all of your citations in place, with much shorter text. If you feel up to a second bout of editing, some tightening up of the text would be much appreciated. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:22, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
