thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It's a well-written paragraph, really clear and succinct. It would be helpful to expand a bit and include some information about medfly's way of reproduction and maybe mating seasons. Reproduction is an important aspect of species behavior and helps the understanding of the species' survival advantage through the process of evolution. Further down the line, a paragraph on taxonomy and evolutionary history would not hurt. This also relates to the genetics paragraph, where it might help to elaborate on the behavioral advantage/disadvantage of not having an opsin gene for blue light perception - how does it relate to the species' behavior and overall fitness? Additionally, I think this article can also benefit from a morphology paragraph, illustrating the differences in life stages and between female and male, so as to help species identification. Hope this helps! Alicelixuan (talk) 01:21, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Hi Nikhil, this article is very thorough and was interesting to read. Your decision to specifically refer to the implications of studies and not just extract the declarative facts about species from them really enriched the article! I only made minor changes to the grammar, mostly focussing on making sentences more concise. I also identified a couple of confusing claims where it may not be clear to the reader what the take-away point may be, so I cleaned up those sentences.
I particularly like the organization of the article; it looks like you identified which information would be best suited to which section and presented it clearly. Furthermore, you appear to have made an effort to link the sections with referrals to different sections in the text and that aids in painting an overall picture. There is one possible change that I would like you to address. The 'aggression' section seems a little out of place and I wasn't able to completely understand the cause for aggressive behavior in this fly. It would help if you placed aggression as a subheading under a section (eg- Mating, if aggression in primarliy linked to mating and territory; or social behavior) so that the information is provided within some broader context. But you've done a great job and this is a very solid article!Agandhi7 (talk) 04:51, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
