Talk:Strawberry poison-dart frog

message: Throughout the article are statements like "recently, x has happened". This is poor form, because an article's text can remain for years, and there is no specific date attached to a given article. Instead, we should be indicating dates or date-ranges in which things changed. I lack the reference sources to indicate such dates, but I thought I'd give others a chance to insert them before I go ahead and remove most or all such statements in the article. --Leperflesh 22:36, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  FOOD!!! 

message: So, is the strawberry poison-dart frog a Dendrobates or an Oophaga specie? I'm confused. The article itself calls it Oophaga, but the scientific classification is Dendrobates - I am confused.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.225.84.73 (talk) 19:44, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I think the strength of this article is its attention to detail– specifically in the diet section. Personally, I found this to be the most fascinating and relatable to the class. During tadpole rearing, mother frogs feed unfertilized eggs to their young. These unfertilized eggs contain pumiliotoxins, which give the tadpoles a chemical defense against predators. I connected this idea to The Selfish Gene. Tadpoles that hatch first can consume as many eggs as possible, and by prioritizing the survival of their own genes, they gain a distinct advantage over their siblings that hatch later. 3 categories that are missing from this entry are description, predators, and ecological distribution. I think the description section can be included to provide a more comprehensive physiological characterization of the species to the reader. A predator section can be included so readers can place the species in the larger context of the food web. A distribution section can be included so that the readers get a better idea of where the species is located and why it prefers a specific habitat. The talk section described the article as “C-Class” on the quality scale and “Mid-importance” on the importance scale. A lot of the talk sections focus on grammar mistakes or missing sections; however, many of the wording has been fixed and new sections have been added that address these concerns.--Jsun2148 (talk) 20:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Review 

message: Strengths of this entry include the use of an audio file so the reader can better understand the information on vocalization, thorough information on reproduction and parental care, and adding links to unfamiliar words/terms. Some facts from the article that I found interesting are that this frog has 15-30 color morphs and that their toxins can induce such strong effects including paralysis and death in predators. 
One general category that could be included is “conservation.” In the “captivity” section, the mentions of the consequences of smuggling dart frogs allude to information about conservation status or efforts. Additionally, most developed frog entries have an explicit section on conservation. Another general category that could be included is a “description” category. The frog’s number of color morphs and typical size is mentioned, and I think centralizing that information and providing examples of known color morphs would be beneficial to the presentation of the information and clarifying the diversity in morphs which can be inferred from the article’s images. A third category that could be included is “protective coloration and behavior.” Knowing that these frogs are so colorful, I think the entry would feel more complete with information about how their coloration impacts their behavior or the characteristics of other species of frogs living in the same vicinity.
I agree with the classification of the article as C-Class quality and mid-importance. This article is not as complete as other ones, but a lot of research seems to have been done on this frog, so it is at least of mild importance. Other Wikipedia users have mentioned the incompleteness of this article and the importance of using specific dates and citations, and I think an additional concern is the lack of conversation about this frog since 2009.

thread_title:  Student Review 

message: I had recently watched a documentary on resource competition and the strawberry poison dart frog was mentioned as an example, which drew me to this page. While the behavior section did include interesting information, I was surprised it did not reflect the territorial behavior exemplified in the documentary. Strawberry dart frogs would fight using croaks without entering into physical contact, one frog being the territory owner and the other an intruder. If the croaking continues for long, they eventually wrestle with an inevitable victory for the territory owner. It is an important addition to an overall strong article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luiscville (talk • contribs) 04:50, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
