Talk:Akodon caenosus

Photo

This article really needs a photograph of the subject, preferably at least two. I wouldn't call it a GA without at least one pic.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 11:38, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

There are none available. GA criterion 6 says that articles should be illustrated, if possible, by images; in this case, it is not possible. Ucucha 11:44, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Just a few nit pick copy editing issues. Otherwise, a fine article if somewhat technical. It is too bad that there is no picture. I assume none is available.

• "It mostly occurs in Yungas vegetation and breeds mainly during the winter. It occurs with many other sigmodontine rodents, including three other species of Akodon." Repetition of "occurs". I change another one in the first sentence to "found".
  • Changed one.
• " Oldfield Thomas described the animal as the holotype of a new subspecies of Akodon puer, a Bolivian species. He described the new subspecies Akodon puer cænosus as darker and duller in color than the Bolivian form, but otherwise identical" - repetition of "described".
  • Changed one.
• "They classified A. caenosus as a species separate from A. lutescens because the two forms did not form a single clade, with A. caenosus instead being recovered closer to A. subfuscus". - is "recovered" the right word here?
  • It is an established technical term here, but the sentence does fine without it, so I struck the word.
• "in view of the relatively high sequence divergence" - Is there a anything you could link "sequence divergence" to, to clarify for the general reader?
  • No, but I rephrased the sentence to clarify the meaning.

Thanks for the review. Some pictures have been published (though only of the skull, I think), but none are free to use. Ucucha 16:12, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
