For the Talk page of Deuterostome:

edit

Could we rearrange the order of the page to move classification history closer to Origins and Evolution either placing Origins and Evolution after classification history or moving classification history down? It seems the section Notable Characteristics should not be splitting these sections when reading about this subject.

When talking about Notable Characteristics (and formation of Mouth and Anus) wouldn't it be prudent to mention the alternative to deuterostome development in text as is shown in the picture next to it? It seems these notable characteristics are notable due to the major alternative, and not mentioning that alternative seems to sell these sections short.

Possible Additions to page Palatoquadrate:

edit

The palatoquadrate forms from splanchnocranium in various chordates including placoderms and acanthodians[1].(244-248)

Palatoquadrates in Acanthodians have three ossification centers: the posterior quadrate, metapterygoid and the autopalantine[1]. (256)

Group Dissection Possibilities

edit
  1. Iguana
  2. Microbat
  3. Garter Snake
    • Duvernoy's gland
    • Brumation (part of the dormancy article)
    • Ovoviviparity
    • Snakes have been remarkable me since my childhood, so dissecting one would be very interesting with a nice dose of nostalgia.

Feedback Repsonse:

Based on feedback from classmates and Dr. Schutz:

  1. Find more sources. I have one lined up that I can use for the anatomy of Duvernoy's gland, which I could use and add a new section to the article.
  2. I might try and use my snake to get a picture of its Duvernoy's gland, which I could potentially use on the article's page, or attempt to find a decent picture, though initial searches have proven unsuccessful.
  3. I realize I did not provide good context with my information. My post was supposed to be the specific language I would add directly to the article, as it is currently somewhat outdated and my information came from a recent article. I should have provided better context and more specifically a link straight to the page so it is clear how my information could directly insert into the article.
  4. I will continue to search for more sources I could use to expand this topic, potentially with the goal of evolutionary history of the Duvernoy's gland.
