... that more than three generations of the date stone beetle, up to 70 to 80 beetles, can occupy a single date seed until the seed is completely consumed?

Created by Alexiathia (talk). Self-nominated at 08:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Coccotrypes dactyliperda; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hi! Welcome to DYK, it is awesome to see more folks nominating articles and your class sounds amazing! Would love to be in it! Sadly, this article has been previously nominated for DYK, and was featured on the Main Page previously. Therefore it is not eligible for DYK inclusion despite your 5x expansion.

The guidelines were recently changed to allow renominations after five years, and this was in 2009. This is fine.--Laun chba ller 15:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting article, on fine sources, and sufficiently expanded. I believe that refs 3 and 4 mean the same - can you please combine them, and call by name? The hook is a good idea, but I don't see the 3 generations yet, and believe the 70 to 80 beetles are interesting enough. What do you think, Alexiathia? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:14, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexiathia: Please respond to the above. Z1720 (talk) 15:24, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marking as rejected due to a lack of response. This can be reopened if Alexiathia returns or someone else is willing to take over this nomination. Z1720 (talk) 19:23, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Information Suggestion[edit]

C. dactyliperda has a very skewed sex ratio - it would be interesting to add information on how this sex ratio impacts mating and parenting behavior, and whether local resource competition or local mate competition play a role in creating this skewed ratio.MichelleLi455 (talk) 05:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chri Ye (talk) 00:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Overall, this page is written clearly with precise and fluent description. The information is organized very well and it is easy to follow. The lead section was pretty short, so I summarized the most important ideas from each section to give a more comprehensive overview about the species. I added the section “Dispersal from the natal seed”, which is part of the social behavior. It explains how the inbreeding/outbreeding behavior impacts the dispersal choices of offsprings, which is an important behavior aspect of the species.[reply]

The Description and Enemies sections are worthwhile to discuss if future research results are available. I think a detailed description about how each stage of the species look would be beneficial.
