Talk:Lycaenidae

message: It currently reads:
"Lycaenidae is the second-largest family of butterflies (behind the Brush-footed butterflies), with over 5,000 species worldwide,Fiedler, K. 1996. Host-plant relationships of lycaenid butterflies: large-scale patterns, interactions with plant chemistry, and mutualism with ants. Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 80(1):259-267   whose members are also called gossamer-winged butterflies. They constitute about 40% of the known butterfly species.Venkatesha, MG. 2005.  Why is homopterophagous butterfly, Spalgis epius (Westwood) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) amyrmecophilous? Current Science 89 (2): 245-246. "
If 5,000 species represents 40%, the total number of species would be 12,500. The Nymphalidae article says: "Nymphalidae is the largest family of butterflies with about 6,000 species distributed throughout most of the world."  This would mean that other 4 families only account for 1,500 species between them, which is simply not true.  Hesperiidae alone contains 4,000 species.
According to http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/World%20Census.htm (which seems to be a reliable source; the data is collated from "Tolman 1997, Larsen 2005, Lamas 2004, d'Abrera 2001, Scott 1992, Preston-Mafham 1988, McCubbin 1971, Eliot/Corbet & Pendlebury 1992, Shields 1989, Ackery 1995"), the total number of butterfly species is not 12,500 but between 17,000 and 19,000.
I suggest that the sentence "They constitute about 40% of the known butterfly species." should just be removed.  --Sarabseth (talk) 02:04, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Garbage Article

message: The line in the introduction regarding Aristotle is misleading. Although he acknowledged that Man has a greater brain/total mass ratio, he did not make this statement with the belief that the brain or head was the root of human intellect and intelligence. I'm not qualified to re-write this, but it should be understood that in 325 BC, as far a I'm aware, Aristotle was under the _firm_ impression that the heart was the organ which gave Man his intelligence.

thread_title:  Behavioral Ecology Edits 

message: Overall, I think this article is really well written. I liked your thorough discussion of the species' interaction with alternate mustard plant species, and your inclusion of genomic information. In general, I made some minor edits to spacing and wording. One section that could be edited is the "Social Behavior" section. Much of the information here is not directly related to social behavior, and could perhaps fit better in other sections of the article. Additionally, it could be helpful for readers if you include an explanation of what sympatry is at the beginning of the "Sympatry" section. EmilyKathryn (talk) 05:37, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

message: This is a great article and you clearly put in a lot of time and effort! I think that the genetics portion is real interesting and it would be great if you could provide some information about that section, especially because it is short and it is a good idea to have more balanced coverage between topics. Also, I think that in the host plants section, it would be helpful if you could use sub headings in order to make the article more organized and easier to follow and read. The social behavior section is really short, and it would be helpful if you could add more information to that section, especially about why they expand north and things like that.

Overall, the content of the article was very clear and easy to follow.
I first expanded the lead section by adding relevant/important information about the species. I also added some hyperlinks(wiki-links) to some of the words in the article so that it's easy to follow for readers who do not have a background in biology.
Additionally, I made small edits on the general structure of your article: fixed information on Taxobox and corrected capitalization on each section. 
Please let me know if you have any questions.

* There is very little on their internal anatomy, heart, circulatory system, eye musculature, nervous system, feeding appendages etc.
* There is nothing on sexual reproduction, relative sizes and morphology of males and females, mating behaviour (quite aggressive!) etc.
* There is nothing on ecology which is particularly surprising as much of the early work by the :Freshwater Biological Association in the :Lake District of the UK used differing cladoceran species as indicator organisms for differing trophic levels of the various lakes in which they were found.
* Nothing on their role as detritivors or their significance as food for very many small fish, hydra and other small freshwater carnivores.
