[edit]
  • Right off the bat, there seems to be a lot of organizational problems, and there doesn't seem to be much logic in how you've divvied up the article. The Description section only has one subsection Morphology, but if it has only one subsection, then you don't need it to be a separate subsection.

Hi! Could you clarify how this is contradictory? There are hundreds of new species of Hawaiian genus Drosophila, and Drosophila silvestris is simply one of the species. It is monotypic. Thanks! --Mmhua (talk) 06:40, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thank you for your comments! To better understand the reasoning behind this article's organization, I (and other editors of this page) were advised to organize the headings based on the logic of the suggested "WikiProject Diptera Article Formats" page, which many members of this WikiProject have been using to improve Dipteran articles. According to these guidelines, "Social Behavior" should be separate from "Mating" and "Home Range and Territoriality" and "Physiology" should be separate from "Description." I will take your comments into account and make relevant changes in the upcoming few weeks!--Mmhua (talk) 23:41, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They're guidelines as opposed to hard rules. You should do what's best for the article rather than broad generalizations. In a bigger article with a lot of information specific to those topics, then yes, split them. But on a smaller article such as this, it's best to group them all together under broader headings. Even the GA housefly doesn't follow such a system   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:19, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I should also warn you I haven't even started reading the article yet, those are just broad structural comments. I'm sure there's still some more information you could add, I need to check. Also, italicize the scientific name even in the titles of your sources, and I'd imagine it has a common name (such as Hawaiian fly or something like that)   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the italicization! From my research, there is no common name.--Mmhua (talk) 06:46, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. This species is not paraphyletic.--Mmhua (talk) 06:40, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You say "may have arisen due to allopatric speciation from ancestral south and west populations" which means the southern population is a different species than the western population   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  03:07, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • "...the fly often experiences reproductive isolation. Potentially due to these barriers, D. silvestris is able to breed with D. heteroneura to create hybrid flies" Doesn't reproductive isolation prevent different creatures from being able to breed with each other?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  03:07, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Despite Kohala being the oldest, the flies are found on the younger volcano of Hualalai. I changed the wording to make it more clear.--Mmhua (talk) 23:59, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
