Hello. I am a student that will be working on this page from April 5th through April 8th 2016. Looking for helpful insight on structure and content along with other comments. Thanks! ForestGreenSweater (talk) 18:42, 5 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

To editor ForestGreenSweater: You have a very good start here. For generic guidance on what an article should look like, you can consult the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you're looking for subject-specific input, WikiProject Biology would be a good place to start.
One suggestion: while print-only sources are perfectly valid (and you've got some good ones so far), it can also be helpful to include online sources, if they are available, to allow readers to easily verify statements. For a topic like this, you'll likely find journal articles in paywalled databases that your school subscribes to. That's fine – include the URLs to those sources anyway, so users with the requisite access can find them.
Good luck with your assignment, and I hope you enjoy editing here! —swpbT 17:57, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
