- ... that birds have greater species richness than mammals, while they are relatively more uniform in morphology?
- Source: Minelli, Alessandro (2019). Biodiversity, disparity and evolvability: "In terms of species number, birds are more diverse than mammals (some 10,000 vs. ca. 5600 extant species worldwide), but are instead quite more uniform in terms of morphology, reproductive biology and developmental schedules."
- Reviewed: I have less than 5 past nominations.

- Approved: Article is new enough (created draft 6 May, moved to mainspace 12 May, nominated 14 May), long enough, every paragraph is cited to a scientific source (I only verified the hook source, AGF on the others), no copyvio detected (I would prefer if the paraphrasing of the hook fact wasn't quite so close), and presentable. The hook is formatted, of good length, cited to a reliable source (verified) and interesting. Image CCSA. I feel that I can make out enough of the image, and if it runs I'm sure it'll be clickbait to see the full-size version. QPQ waived. Will leave some copyedit notes on nominator's talk page. (I formatted/proofed the image caption.) – Reidgreg (talk) 23:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Article has been copy-edited according to the reviewer's suggestions.——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race (talk・contribs) 01:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Interaccoonale and Reidgreg: Forgive this non-expert, but I can't understand the hook at all, and I would question whether a broad audience would. I think this needs a simpler hook.--Launchballer 15:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for raising that concern. I'm not sure that this hook fact can be rewritten without either changing the meaning or greatly increasing the wordcount. I'll think on it. Though I believe this is a case where the picture is relevant and helps illustrate the hook's meaning. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer and Reidgreg: How about "... that birds have more species than mammals, while they are relatively more uniform in appearance?" ——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race (talk・contribs) 23:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'd approve that. But I forgot something else: the hooks need a "media marker" like
