GTG for main hook & ALT 1. A delightful read! Expanded & long enough. Neutral well-written & referenced. Main hook & ALT 1 check out (though the later refs support the main hook better than that given). I can only read the abstract for ALT2, which doesn't support the hook, with no mention of "major health impact", but the other two are better hooks imo anyway. Earwig finds nothing. Pic ok to use - though a cropped version might be better. Johnbod (talk) 16:19, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your thorough review! I have taken your suggestion into account and uploaded a cropped version of the image. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do. Thanks again! --Mmhua (talk) 17:23, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Behavioral Ecology Peer Review[edit]

Margaret, this is a really good article! There is tons of information, everything is well cited, and well written. There were a couple things I think were still confusing, especially for a general audience. When describing larva, you talk about spiracles and spiracular openings. That description is confusing. I added a Wiki link to a page on spiracles, so that should be helpful to a general audience, but I think the language needs clarification. It also would be great if you described what a frons is-I struggled to find it on the Wiki page linked, but there isn't one specific to frons. Also there's no Wiki page for synanthropy, which seems an important adjective for this fly, so definitely explaining that term would be helpful to a general audience. You mention that these flies have parasitic relationships with bacteria, so I think it would be cool if you could expand that and include a section on their microbiome or if they have an mutalistic relationships. Also I know most blow flies have oviposition, so including a section on parental care and seeing if they also oviposit would be good!Montana.sievert (talk) 00:56, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great job with this article, it was a pleasant read. Your prose throughout the article is clear and unbiased. I edited some small grammatical and syntactical errors, as well as added a good amount of hyperlinks. I agree with Montana that some of the technical terms you use throughout the article should be better explained, as this would make it easier for a more general audience to understand. I like that you included many different sections but I think some of your shorter ones should be expanded if possible. Your sections on enemies, social behavior and the egg section of life history are all only about 1 sentence each, and I would like to hear some more info! I would also add sections on mating and parental care if the information is available, as these are important behaviors. Overall, great job and keep expanding on this if possible!

I enjoyed reading this article! I think you've done a great job finding information on a fly that isn't particularly as well researched. This article serves as a great framework to be elaborated on, as you've made a point to include sections and provide even the basic information available relevant to them. In its current form, the article does make reference to a few technical terms or specific behaviors that may be linked but would be confusing to understand. Hence (and I understand it's hard to find sources for this) it would help if some techinical ideas like larval gregariousness, aand were elaborated on a little bit. The things I would encourage people who expand on this article to focus on would be- description of predations of this species and how they might occur, some more information on the interspecific competition that larvae of this species experience. I specified these areas as it seems the information on these sections should be available currently. I made some changes to grammar and organisation, but I really liked this article Margaret!Agandhi7 (talk) 06:02, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article was well written and contained extensive detail, indicating thorough research. Information was well cited and written in a professional neutral tone. I added additional hyperlinks and made some grammatical/syntax changes. One area for article improvement would be to add a few more sentences explaining PMI analysis in Forensics, because that is an area unique to your fly that appears to play significant. Overall great work! Rchiou (talk) 15:16, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
