I am adding a peer review to your assignment as part of Assignment 6. I generally just edited a few grammatical nuances throughout the article (i.e. deleting the word “beetle” after the species name). I also edited the “Geographical Range” paragraph to make sure it was consistent with its tense and to get rid of awkward wording. Croujay (talk) 04:48, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review

[edit]

Hello, I am adding a peer review to your article as part of the Wikipedia assignment 6. Overall, I though that your article was very interesting and covered a lot of detail. I made some edits to your page. I added a few grammatical changes throughout the article since I noticed some minor issues. I also rephrased a few sentences to allow the information to flow more clearly. I added a couple of hyperlinks throughout your article to various terms that I thought could be helpful to readers. I also noticed that many of the images on your page did not contain captions, so I added these. Good job! Angelina2024 (talk) 23:22, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review

Overall, I enjoyed reading your Wikipedia page. I particularly liked how you described the nomenclature of the name of the beetle; It is a useful skill to understand characteristics and geographic locations of species just by looking at their name. In terms of edits I made some minor changes just so the text can flow a little better. Sbimal (talk) 20:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I enjoyed reading this article. I learned a lot about the oriental beetle. There were many great elements in this article. I was very interested in how far this beetle has spread. It originated in East Asia but has spread to the Northeast U.S., the South, and even Hawaii. The beetle displays a very important behavior in beetles which is the release of pheromones. This helps the beetles recognize mates and copulate. I added additional information to the article. I added a section about control methods. The beetle is a pest, and in Korea, scientists have used nematodes as a form of biological control. This is important because they are notorious pests, and in Korea, they affect golf courses. Another section I added is how they were able to clone a pheromone binding protein in the oriental beetle. The beetle shares similarities with other beetle species, and through cloning, they were able to identify a protein as a pheromone-binding protein. This is important in understanding the genetics of the beetle. Connectscience0224 (talk) 21:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
