Comments from Ucucha

  • Is the poor Finn called Kohonen, Korhonen, or Kothonen? (fixed spelling)
  • Isn't Helga Marxmueller a she? (yup)
  • The taxonomy section is confusing, which is probably not surprising given the history of the species, but I think it's worse than it should be. Wouldn't it be better to move it all in chronological order? Also, I don't see where Romagnesi used the name gallica, or how Armillariella bulbosa can be the basionym for Armillaria gallica.
  • Distribution: you don't mention China among the places where it has been collected. Also, what exactly is the Asian subpopulation (as opposed to the Chinese one)? Does it occur in Iran and Japan? (mentioned China in distribution; clarified a little about subpopulations, but unfortunately can only read the abstract - source is in Chinese)
  • Lots of Web of Science hits for this one:
  • I got it; nothing interesting, a key to Armillaria species and a description. You can cite it for A. gallica occurring in the Gironde if you badly want to. The Linnean Society of Bordeaux is a nice group though. Ucucha 02:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • And that's 2010 and 2009 only. I guess most of these are ecological studies that won't add much to what is already there, but there seem to be at least some with facts that aren't in the article yet. Ucucha 15:15, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the comments Ucucha, I'll work on these today. It's true there are lot of studies about this fungus, so I didn't try to include them all. But I will look again at the ones you've mentioned and see if there's any worthy additions to be made. Sasata (talk) 15:23, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes—I'm not all too sure myself whether it's necessary to mention that it is also common in random places like Serbia and Massachusetts, and I'm sure we'll be able to find more similar studies. This is where secondary sources come in handy: they summarize these things for us. Ucucha 18:12, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree in general about secondary sources, but in this case, these newer interesting/relevant facts have not yet been mentioned in reviews. The added locations aren't really random: the Massachusetts mention is placed in a paragraph that focuses largely on US distribution, so it is not out of place, while the Serbian mention seems to fit in well with the surrounding discussion about elevation distribution limits in Europe. Sasata (talk) 05:29, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you've placed them well in context. I meant "random" as in: it could as well be Maine or Bulgaria where the paper is from. I'll have another look later today to find if there is more good stuff. Ucucha 13:19, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Ni hao ma? They mated fungi to make "vigorous hybrids" and "highly-branched monoaxial rhizomorphs". If I could read Chinese, I might be able to find out why that was important. Sasata (talk) 22:45, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Demonstrating compatibility?
        • True. I guess that some of the Chinese A. gallica strains are compatible with non-Chinese strains, some aren't, suggesting that it might be necessary to split into more species. But this is mentioned already using the other Chinese distribution paper as a source. Sasata (talk) 03:41, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Phylogenetic relations aren't covered yet.
Sloppy omission by me. Perhaps this FAC is a breaching experiment to see if you guys will let an organism article get promoted without mentioning phylogeny? :) Sasata (talk) 03:41, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yikes! No rest for the weary (or was that wicked?). I'm sure I've looked at most of these before, but I will check again. Luckily, I enjoy research :) Sasata (talk) 19:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yeah, it's bad. That's what you get for writing on a fairly well-known species, I am afraid. I did see some things that aren't in the article yet, like phylogenetics and occurrence in Bhutan. Ucucha 20:00, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
