''When they became much smaller than its ancestor, ''




That's the only one left to switch to they for consistency sake.

After that I think it ought to be approved.

Could slap an average lifespan on that end sentence of the description as well to beef it up just a little.

Why did you leave the word this

" This does not always work. "

Change the word this to specifically State what action you are referring to, since you had added a little bit more to the end of the previous paragraph it no longer functions as a way of referring to what was stated in the previous paragraph. That's a pretty simple fix.

ah a classic looking gelatin

an important thing when moving any life from water to land is prevention of dessication, as well as handling fresher water, you listed darwin plains as a habitat which is a pretty hefty thing without elaboration.

I would suggest mentioning that they are able to survive when rolling about waterways, soaking up the liquid as they pass through. But having a tendency of drying out and whithering away in regions where they happen to not roll into water soon enough.

Also would consider such colonies rare compared to the seaside populations, likely prone to a bit of tissue rupture in heavy rains due to excessive water absorption.

I'm using trehalose in my needlewing descendent, given I also made the baghopper that could be an ancestral means of cold survival during winters. It's useful that way.

Making it a mesotherm during active periods of the year would be a good idea though.

Nice

It sounds like there is a chemical influence by the marchess that forces unhatched into being workers, so the default are
E queens.

anyone else got something to say about this snorkel tailed kiwi?

Opinion: Pending; it's pretty much good, but I think covering how it feeds itself when everything is hidden away for winter would be good, even if it's as simple as finding and digging up prey or spending longer periods of time in their burrow.

Approved

But the Marchess is a born caste isn't it?

How are they made?

Or is it an individual dominance over the colony, not specifically due to bein born into the role but rather by taking it?

It looks like some edits were done on this, has it answered all the issues in the review?

bellow temperate coast does not appear to exist

excluding the mangals on the map the habitats are all connected, for future review references.

Do the thread titles need the b21 in them?

I'm just curious because there's several that are not by multiple people

Okay edited in, can you double check the map that it still is contiguous?

I think that's a great supplement image

Draw a supplementary image without the wings I think is roughly what's being requested

Oh interesting, never really thought of stating a regional extinction without replacing in that region

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.338...2020.00056/full



They doing the hydrogenase eh?

Do they replace their ancestor? That's one of the pieces of information that ought to be stated in the description, often times people will put it in the first paragraph of the description just to make sure that it's clearly getting across to people early on in their reading.

Interesting migratory choice, rare to see.

Huh yea

I remember once seeing something about 4 flavors but I never did get verification on that

It's basically eating bugs, some of them are pretty dumb.

By the approval template it would pass, but by diet selection it technically cannot be accepted until all species in its diets already exist in the ecosystem.
Kind of an awkward limbo.
