thread_title: GA failed

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of June 8, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: The article is filled with good information. But the prose could really be improved.  For example, the following is a run-on sentence:  In the second paragraph, what does "first prize at age thirteen" mean? Does that mean he was the equivalent of valedictorian? This statement needs some clarification for those unfamiliar with the topic: . I also recommend a thorough copyediting.
:2. Factually accurate?: Not bad, although there should not be any citation tags in the articles.  Please reference any such statements.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Still stubbish. Also, this biography ends in 1954, but he didn't die until 1988.  Can more be added to fill out these years.  I also recommend adding a musician infobox (see John Mayer)
:4. Neutral point of view?: Good here.  Good job.
:5. Article stability? Very young article with two few edits to even really analyze this criteria.  I would suggest time for other editors to help expand and refine this article.
:6. Images?: The one image has no caption.  Also, the image needs more source information to verify its claim of being in the GFDL.  You might consider moving it to wikicommons.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review.  Thank you for your work so far.

Talk:Functional response

message: The functional response is an important concept in ecology, however, the definition given in the introduction here ("the relationship between prey and predators") is at best too vague. I propose: "the relation between the number or density of prey and the number of prey consumed per predator per unit of time". Actually "prey" and "predator" should be replaced by "resource" and "consumer". This definition is equivalent to the ones found in textbooks, e.g. the one by Begon, Harper and Townsend and in Peter Yozis' Introduction to Theoretical Ecology. OpenScience (talk) 11:13, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think "dome-shaped" (sometimes also called "type IV") and "rollercoaster" FR should be mentioned shortly at the end of the article. See ref's: Jeschke et al 2004 Biological Reviews, Jeschke and Tollrian 2005 Oikos, Vucic-Pestic 2010 Pedobiologia, Bressendorff and Toft 2011 Biology Letters and many more. For a better understanding this should be included in the conceptual figure. Unfortunately, I really don't have any time left for this at the moment. Cheers, Wurstendbinder (talk) 16:06, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, type IV should be included. The defining features would be first increasing, then decreasing. The increasing would probably have to be at a decreasing rate, so that the first part of the curve is not sigmoid. An example would be f(R) = R/(aR^2 + bR +c). I recently published a paper with this equation as a light-response curve with photoinhibition (p-I curve, the rate of photosynthesis as a function of light).

Talk:Mesopredator release hypothesis

message: The mesopredator release hypothesis states that if an apex predator is taken out of an ecosystem, the number of mesopredators (defined as medium-sized predators, such as raccoons, skunks, snakes, cats, and foxes, that often increase in abundance when larger predators are eliminated[1]) will surge and the predation of smaller, more vulnerable prey species will increase.[2]
This is such an elementary conclusion that it verges on the
obvious. In fact, the cases when and the reasons why this does
not hold would be much more worthy of investigation.
I raise a neologism warning. Due to the large number of
references given, I let it remain at a talk entry, and do not
explicitly tag the page.

thread_title:  Worthy hypothesis or neologism for something trivial? 

message: It states that as top predators decline in an ecosystem  when an increase in populations of mesopredators occurs.
This sentence makes no sense. It's trying to relate two causes without an effect. The grammatical uncertainty is bolded. Which one is supposed to be the effect? If it's the top predators decline, then it should read the top predators will decline. Otherwise it should be an increase in, and leave out the when. 67.193.96.49 (talk) 21:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed the sentence to: "It states that as top predators decline in an ecosystem, an increase in the populations of mesopredators occurs." Does this make it clear that the cause is the decline of the top predator and that the release of the mesopredator populations is the effect? Earthdirt (talk) 16:30, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poor grammar and unsure meaning 

message: Some examples would be useful in the main body of the article.  As it stands there is an opening paragraph that gives 5 example organisms without any discussion of their context or ecosystems; a photograph of a raccoon and a skunk eating spilled food; and then a 'Hypothesis' and a 'Criticism' section that are 100% theoretical, without any mention of particular animals.  Discussion of the evidence for a described real-world example, properly sourced, would be a nice addition to help understanding for people who don't know anything about the hypothesis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.48.75.121 (talk) 18:36, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Prey drive

message: This article seems to confuse the two. From what I've read elsewhere, Prey drive is the instinct of a carnivore to chase after prey (or other objects such as balls or frisbees) , not a 'flight instinct'. I've never seen the term predator drive used elsewhere (google doesn't show up any results either), so it might be best to move the bottom paragraph to the top, and rename the other paragraph "fight or flight instinct" (similar to Fight or flight), which is characterized by the survival instinct of a prey to flee or to fight back when sensing danger. Either that or incorporate that paragraph into the Fight or Flight article for animals, because it's basically the same term. - Io Katai (talk) 01:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: After flipping the information around, and changing the appropriate terms (although the article is in serious need of a rework), I'm proposing to merge Prey drive#Fight or Flight into Fight-or-flight response.
