thread_title: Edits to Introduction

message: I added more information about the frog’s temperature and humidity range in the habitat and distribution section. I also rephrased some sentences to make them more concise. 
Sentence I added:
The favorable humidity level is 80% to 100%. The temperature range this frog can stand is pretty wide, which range from 17℃ to 30℃. However the most suitable temperature level is 20 to 26 ℃.Furrer, S., and R. Franz. "Husbandry guideline for Mantella laevigata (Methuen & Hewitt 1913)." EAZA Amphibian TAG (2008).
Sentence I rephrased:
Climbing Mantella tadpoles will consume unfertilized or fertilized eggs of their own species. Tadpoles are only known to consume conspecific eggs, so they do not engage in the cannibalism of other tadpoles and ignore mosquitoes or other small arthropod larvae.Heying, Heather E. "Social and reproductive behaviour in the Madagascan poison frog, Mantella laevigata, with comparisons to the dendrobatids." Animal Behaviour 61.3 (2001): 567-577.
Female frogs will approach male frogs who advertise their territory with a two-tone call made by males.Furrer, S., and R. Franz. "Husbandry guideline for Mantella laevigata (Methuen & Hewitt 1913)." EAZA Amphibian TAG (2008). Female frogs are either mute or have weak calls.Heying, Heather Elizabeth. The evolutionary ecology and sexual selection of a Madagascan poison frog (Mantella laevigata). University of Michigan, 2001. Upon hearing the mating calls, the female frogs will approach the well occupied by males.
Poisonous lipophilic alkaloids stored in skin glands is the effective defensive chemicals.Yunfeng Ge (talk) 03:22, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit to habitat and distribution and some sentence rephrasing.  

message: I think the writing is concise but also interesting to keep the readers engaged with the information. I added more specific headings, such as male-to-male competition and male-to-female interaction in the mating section. I also included the species' taxonomy after the conservatory sections
Question about the image: it seems like the image came from a research article, and I am not sure if that image is authorized or not Emily486103 (talk) 18:24, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit to Taxonomy and question about image source 

message: Some information from the introduction regarding reproductive parasitism was redistributed to the Parental Care section (introduction was slightly longer than optimal). 
The Parental Care section was divided into subsections of “Egg laying”, “Territory defense as paternal care”, “Site selection for egg laying”, and “Reproductive parasitism”. Not much content was changed, beside concision and sentence clarity. 
Some edits were made to address informal language in the Habitat and distribution section.
