Behavioral Ecology Class Contribution

Hello! My name is Jaya Prakash, and I am a student at Washington University in St. Louis editing this article as part of a Behavioral Ecology course that I am enrolled in. Over the course of this past week I have made the following edits.

1) I have added the following sections with citations to the publications listed in "References": Phylogeny; Food resources: Caterpillars: Hostplant preferences; Food resources: Pollinator cues; Parental care: Oviposition; Social behavior: Caterpillar sociality; Enemies: Predators; Enemies: Predators: Defense effect on predators; Enemies: Virus; Enemies: Parasites; Enemies: Immunity; Physiology: Gustation (taste); Migration: Local or regional dispersal; Protective coloration and behavior: Automimicry

2) Before I began adding to this article, I also noticed that there was a great deal of information that had not been cited (Description, Overview, Adult Diet), so I have removed that information and explained this edit in the edit summary/description. I had attempted to locate the sources this material had been taken from in order to cite the references respectively but was unfortunately unable to do so.

3) I have added three pictures displaying 'common buckeye mating', 'common buckeye caterpillar', and 'common buckeye butterfly feeding behavior'.

4) I have also placed the sources that were not cited in the body of the article into a "Literature" subsection of "References".

5) Finally, I have updated the overview to include the additions that have been made to the overall article.

Please feel free to comment on my talk page if you have any questions or concerns!

Peer Review Suggestions

Hi! So, overall your page looks great! The information in each section seems solid considering the sources you have used. I made additions to your lead section, simply adding how iridoid glycosides stimulate appetite via producing a hormone called gastrin. I also made some changes in grammatical errors and sentence arrangement in paragraphs for better flow. I also changed wording in sentences if some parts were confusing. But overall, good job!

Hi! Overall, your article is well written and explains unfamiliar concepts well. The explanation of its relationship to iridoid glycosides was particularly well done. I added some hyperlinks throughout your text, in addition to fixing capitalization, spelling, and other errors. I also added a clarifying statement to your lead section about pre-change flowers. One thing I am confused about (and might be beneficial to clarify) is why predators would select for iridoid glycoside rich larvae if that inhibits their growth- your source was inaccessible for me so I couldn’t read up on it. This article could benefit from more information on its physiology and perhaps why or how the iridoid glycosides affect its physiology to cause changes in behavior. liu.emily (talk) 14:11, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review Suggestions

Jaya’s Wikipedia page on Junonia coenia overall looks really good. The information within each section seems solid and her language was easy to understand. Topics were well explained. I made some additions regarding the information on iridoid glycosides because the compound seems highly relevant in the life of J. coenia. I added how this compound specifically stimulates appetite, then cited my source as well. I also made simple fixes to grammatical errors and awkward sentence wordings throughout the page.

Peer Review

The article is well written and very well cited. I have copied my edit notes below: "I changed mostly grammar, except for the Defense effect on predators section, in which I changed a sentence that said "predators select for larvae that eat glucosides" to predators choosing to eat larvae that DO NOT eat glucosides." While it is fine to rehash information throughout the article, I was concerned to see what looks like a serious disconnect between your major points about larval defenses and predation. I could very well be wrong in my edits but if that's the case, clarification is desperately needed, as the remainder of your article indicates that glucosides deter predation.

More peer review: Good job on this article! I added several more internal links to help connect and clarify technical terminology in the article. I also move the image gallery from the bottom of the article to below the "Description" section, where it is more visible. One suggestion I have for you is to add more information to the discussion of caterpillar sociality. You touch on these behaviors, but don't provide much detail. Thanks!

I noticed the main article doesn't mention where you can find this butterfly at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parkjrs (talk • contribs) 07:44, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
