 | There is a request, submitted by Snek01 (talk), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia. The rationale behind the request is: "Unique gastropod, unique among all animals, interesting to general public. As of 2017, it will be the first spoken gastropod article on Wikipedia and also the first spoken mollusc article. Lossless audio format (for example FLAC) is needed. A voice with clear pronounciation preferred.". |
Not sure about the binomial name
editFor the record, I'm not sure how well the name Crysomallon squamiferum is accepted, as almost all of the references to this name online are in Japanese. Melchoir (talk) 10:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
This name Crysomallon squamiferum is still just a 'leaked' MS name, unpublished as indicated http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3869010/ and https://twitter.com/expeditionlog/status/566853510269263872 and http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=736932 Pherusan (talk) 22:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Well, I got it from the Japanese Wikipedia article ja:ウロコフネタマガイ, 2008 version, which seems to have gotten it from the following PDF hosted by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology in 2007: https://www.jamstec.go.jp/maritec/j/blueearth/2007/yokou/PS88.PDF, which begins "ウロコフネタマガイ(Crysomallon squamiferum)をはじめとするインド洋カイレイフィールドにて採集された熱水性 生物の採集・船上飼育について ○北田 貢・三宅 裕志・(新江ノ島水族館)、鈴木 庸平((独)産業技術総合研究所)、高井 研(JAMSTEC)" I guess Ken Takai of JAMSTEC might be able to trace it from there.

- Crysomallon squamiferum is a temporary name, as it has not been validly published in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. I've mentioned this in the article. JoJan (talk) 13:54, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Grammatical weirdness from source
editThe paper "By more ways than one" (2017) has some weirdness (some of it grammatical), which is reflected in this article. I've attempted to interpret it in order to clarify the article, but I thought it was worth disclaiming authority here: It is an educated guess of mine, for example, that the ventricle dimensions given in Table 1 are lengths. FWIW, I'm of the opinion that with the fairly stilted and strange language in parts of the article, some of it referencing that paper, and the general excessive wordy detail, I don't think this still qualifies as a Good Article. --Anon423 (talk) 18:41, 9 February 2021 (UTC)—
The paper referenced:
Chen, Chong; Uematsu, Katsuyuki; Linse, Katrin; Sigwart, Julia D. (2017).

Similarly, I've added a statement that might border on original research (synthesis), but which I hope is a reasonable introduction (in the service of readability) to the notes on sensitivity, mineral richness, and genetic isolation taken from the same source and explicated in the rest of the paragraph. I think it qualifies as a non-editorial summary, but let me know if you disagree.
The population at the Longqi vent field may be of particular concern.
