Article is big and new enough. However there are sections with no references. The introduction, first paragraph in Origin and Area Hypothesis have no references. Normally the introduction would need no reference as the content would be covered elsewhere in the article with a citation. In this case the hook is included but not expanded on elsewhere, so I will have to count hook as uncited. Also the hook is quite boring being just a definition. An alternative is the idea about the Flood concentrating species higher up is much more interesting. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
