Lifetime of a bedbug

[edit]

The article states that a bedbugs can survive without feeding for 70 days and then later states that bedbugs can survive without food for 100 to 300 days. 2A01:B340:60:60CA:E13D:5117:444D:E5F3 (talk) 08:42, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed (reconciled two sources; neither source mentioned the figure of "70 days" that I could see). OhNoitsJamie Talk 12:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear and blocked citations

[edit]

Citation 5/8 (why does it change to 5 when editing??) is blocked by a paywall. Other sources suggested. There are other sources, but it's far too many articles to reasonably get the referenced, rather basic info from. FormalityInducer (talk) 17:06, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:PAYWALL - paywalled sources are acceptable here. MrOllie (talk) 17:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverse author order in references

[edit]

Reference 62 and 63 appear to present the authors in reverse order (starting with the last author and working backwards). Is this intentional? I haven't checked all other references but the few I did check don't appear to have this issue. Steffen Roth is the first (and corresponding) author on both of these papers, not Reindhart.
