Myrmecia (ant)

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I have the intention of promoting this article to GA in the near future, and at some point, FA. The article has received a copyedit, and helpful suggestions were provided from the copyeditor. I acknowledge that three clarification tags are present, but these issues will be fixed as soon as possible. I note this article is very big, but what can I say, they're my favourite group of ants.

**I'm no expert on ants but I have to say this is a very well written article. One thing I have to point out is that the "Genetics" section seems to fall a bit flat when compared to the rest of the article. I suggest moving this section under the "Phylogeny" section or perhaps the "Taxonomy" section or perhaps integrate the information into one of them without giving "Genetics" its own little section. Thank you for the comment, I have moved it under the taxonomy section. I decided to give it a subsection though; I feared it may look a bit awkward when it suddenly discusses about its genetics in a taxonomy section (take Koala for instance, an FA article).

**Really well-written article. It is obvious that you have put a tremendous amount of work into this. Thank you, I think I have outdone myself in a good way with this. ;) Your comment is appreciated a lot. "The closest living relatives of Myrmecia are the vespoid wasps." Do you mean closest living non-ant relative? If so, isn't this true for all ants? Ah, yes I believe so. Perhaps I could replace this sentence and find out what group of Myrmeciinae ants Myrmecia is intermediate with. Removed info about the wasps and found a source which states that Archimyrmex may be the ancestor of Myrmecia. "Nests are found in Callitris forest, Callytris forest ... " I'm aware this is from the source, but from my cursory search "Callytris" looks like a typo of Callitris [1]. I was a bit suspicious about it (684 results on google for Callytris and 148,000 for Callitris.) Removed. This last comment is not important, but I'm curious. Is it "An M. inquilina" or "A M. inquilina"? The article currently uses the "A M. inquilina" variation. I believe most people usually use "an" if the M is a standalone letter (an M.16 assault rifle is grammatically correct for example). Thanks for pointing this out, also detected it with M. vindex and fixed. I count eight species-group names in the cladogram, but there should be nine; it looks like a label is missing. I'll find the full paper. Done.
