Peer Review

I reorganized the last sentence of the second paragraph to make it clearer. Before the edit, the sentence structure was a little confusing because information about the plant was intertwined with information about the frog.

Word “unacceptable” changed to “dangerous” in the “Toxicity and Medicine” section. Unacceptable is more of a vague word and detracts from the potency of the toxin.

Moved the exposition under “Evolution of skin coloration and toxicity” to the “Aposematism” section to improve clarity in organizational structure.

Subsection titled “Visual cues” was removed and the information was embedded into the paragraph.

“Chemical Defense” section moved to “Toxicity” section to reduce redundancy.

Minor grammar changes and edits to make sentences more concise were made throughout the piece. For example, “The diet of the Dendrodates is one that is unique” was changed to the “The diet of the Dendrodates is unique.”

Overall, the article was well written and contained lots of interesting information. Organization could be improved, but other than that, it looks great! Jsun2148 (talk) 00:27, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with many of the above edits! I think the edit that my peer left was well-written and well-researched. I think the article could benefit from some reorganization so it doesn't have 4 separate sections on behavior, but am unsure of how best to proceed with this. I did add an enemies section also.

Endogenous is wrong, it should say exogenous

Endogenous is the wrong definition for being produced outside the body, it should say exogenous. Dijon Djinn (talk) 17:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect word

In the section talking about toxicity, the word endogenous is incorrectly used as that means to come from within the body. The correct term is exogenous. Rjones6045 (talk) 16:45, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Dendrobates family"

Dendrobates, which is a genus, was referred to several times as a family. I've corrected these to refer to Dendrobatidae instead since that's what the article seems to be about. However, these references might be inaccurate, so the article needs an expert on the topic to investigate and correct any errors. Hairy Dude (talk) 00:09, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
