Self-nominated at 08:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC). Automatically reviewed by DYKReviewBot. This bot is experimental; please report any issues. This is not a substitute for a human review. --DYKReviewBot (report bugs) 22:45, 9 July 2016 (UTC) :*16px. Grudgingly, because this is possibly the most boring DYK hook I've ever seen, but looking at the article there's nothing more obvious that jumps out at me. The paper referenced for the hook is behind a paywall, but the cited fact is included in the abstract so no issues there. The "copyvio" spotted by the bot is {{tq|The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern"}}, a phrase which can't easily be reworded so I wouldn't consider as problematic. GTG. ‑ Iridescent 16:59, 10 July 2016 (UTC) :::FYI, parental care is exceedingly rare among amphibians, so this is really exciting! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:40, 11 July 2016 (UTC) ::::Sure, but the casual readers on the main page neither know nor care; from the viewpoint of someone with a decent knowledge of animal behaviour but who knows nothing about frogs (a group I imagine roughly correlates with "the entire population of the world minus a few thousand people") "parents have been observed looking after their children" is roughly equivalent to "bears have been observed shitting in the woods". (Add to that that the one piece of frog parental behaviour casual readers are likely to know is the sequence from every single "wonders of nature" show ever made, of the mother frog incubating the tadpoles in her mouth, so I imagine that those who have thought about such things assume that amphibians are if anything more nurturing than other animals.) Note that I'm not opposing this—I can't see any obvious alternative—I just think it will prompt a "who cares?" reaction. ‑ Iridescent 15:29, 11 July 2016 (UTC) ::::*16px Unlike Iridescent, I am opposing this: it is simply not an interesting hook, and thus does not qualify for DYK. Even the wording, with its "seems to", adds to the problem. If this is "really exciting", then there should be a way to convey this excitement to the reader. I've struck the original hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC) :::::*ALT1 ... that the male Brazilian Leptodactylus pustulatus frog makes 26 calls per minute? :::::*ALT2 :::::For lack of anything else, I think the rate of calls is interesting. — Maile (talk) 23:34, 22 July 2016 (UTC) ::::::*16px Thanks, {{ping|Maile66}}, I agree that ALT1 is hookier. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Rest of review per Iridescent. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:44, 24 July 2016 (UTC)==Leptodactylus pustulatus==
... that the female frog Leptodactylus pustulatus seems to provide some parental care?
... that the male Brazilian Leptodactylus pustulatus frogs advertise themselves by making about 26 calls per minute?
