User talk:Raquel Gilliland/Planktivore

Hey Guys, I reviewed your article, the review can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Raquel_Gilliland/Planktivore/BrightPe_Peer_Review. Great job!

Hey all, I just read your article. Lots of new information compared to the original article which is great! Here are some suggestions of things I think you can improve on:

1. I would work to connect the dots a little bit more clearly between this topic and how it is relevant to the class. It's biogeochemistry and you've definitely got the Bio part down but I would try to expand on the geological influences and the chemical influences of planktivory to make the relevance to the class really clear.

2. One way I think you can do this is by expanding more on the Nutrient Transport section. It seems like there is a lot more you can say about that particular topic

3. An idea for incorporating geology would be to talk a little bit about upwelling. Im sure Planktivory is really popular in regions of high upwelling so maybe discussing the ways in which physical characteristics play a role in where a Planktivore might forage for food.

Generally I think it would be a good idea for you to focus more broadly on different biogeochemical perspectives since I'm sure that is a comment George or Laurie will have. Also, after clicking through some of your references it looks like they're all working correctly! I hope this is helpful. Good luck!

Great job overall! There's lots of really awesome content here. One major suggestion I have is to be sure you clearly break down the biodiversity of planktivore species in a digestable way. Though it seems obvious to us that whales, fish, and oysters all eat plankton.. species are often mentioned in this article with no clarification that they are planktivores. It would be helpful to see a visual of the different planktivore functional groups or something. Though it seems redundant, any mention of another species should indicate that they are planktivores.

Hi guys, your page looks really great so far and I enjoyed reading it! Here are a few minor comments that I have:
-I like the way you formatted each section; it is really clear and easy to follow
-If possible, I would try to expand your section on the role of planktivores in nutrient transport. Which nutrients do they consume/alter? Why is this important from a global nutrient cycling perspective? If you can find a box model that illustrates this, that would be really beneficial!
-One minor formatting issue I noticed is that the section on mechanics of planktivory is listed as a subtopic within the invertebrates section, but I see that this part mentions vertebrates like fish and birds - I would recommend re-formatting this as a standalone section
-Another minor issue I see is that in the section on the impacts of climate change on tropical biomes, the words "climate change" are at the very end without a complete sentence
Overall the page looks awesome - really great work so far! Kvickery13 (talk) 21:46, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
