Umbrella slug

(
)
  • ... that the umbrella slug was first detected in the Bay of Biscay in 2016 surveys undertaken between 2011 and 2014?
    • ALT1:... that the discovery of the umbrella slug in the Bay of Biscay in 2016 was described as "tropicalisation" and attributed to a rise in sea temperature?
    • ALT2: ... that the presence of the umbrella slug in the Bay of Biscay, first reported in 2016, may be an example of "tropicalisation"?

  • Article expanded from ~140 to ~2000 characters on 23/24 July, so it's new and long enough. Well sourced, copyvio unlikely according to Earwig's tool. QPQ done. Some questions, though:
  • I think the title should either be Umbraculum umbraculum, or it shouldn't be italicised. Is that right?
  • Any reason for the German subtitle of the last image in the gallery?
  • The hook source seems to say that the specimens were found between 2011 and 2014; the publication year is 2016.
  • The main hook could be thought to mean that the species was discovered in 2016 IMO; and the second doesn't make clear that it is the Bay of Biscay that is tropicalizing, not the slug (which would be somewhat illogical). Can you think of a better phrasing?

@Anypodetos: Good points! I have tweaked the article, amended ALT0, struck out ALT1 and suggested ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:30, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for addressing this. I think ALT2 is clearer, but I'd be fine with the first hook as well. Good to go, and thanks for the interesting read! --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 13:35, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
  • @Cwmhiraeth: the article doesn't mention first reported in 2016. Yoninah (talk) 18:28, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Whatever works, I guess. Restoring tick per Anypodetos' review. Yoninah (talk) 19:04, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
