{{Peer review page|topic=natsci}}

I've listed this article for peer review because I am planning to nominate this for FA eventually and would like to know what changes, beyond some expansion, are needed.

• "fulvous" is a wonderful word, but prolly stick to {{green|dull orange}} for the lede
• Done.
• maybe sister taxon > {{green|closest relative}}?, But keep wiki link
• Done.
• pretty much all subsequent instances of Macrobdella decora should be {{green|M. decora}}
• Macrobdella decora is North America east > {{green|M. decora is found in North America}}
• Fixed.
• why doesn't the map show the Mexican population?
• It does. It's a red dot at the far bottom.
• "the question remains unanswered" so it may or may not be panmitic? Just pure conjecture from the scientists? If there is some evidence say {{green|There is some evidence that...}}, or if there isn't say {{green|It is hypothesised}} or {{green|Scientists assume...}} or similar
• " The species" > {{green|It is not conisdered...}}
• Done.
• "anticoagulant" > blood thinner
• Done.
• " species, and a comparsion" new sentence beginning: {{green|A comparison}}
• Done
• as "comparatively rare". > {{green| comparatively rare."}} move punc
• Done
• "Macro simply means big," || in what language?
• Ugh. The source doesn't say but it's obviously derived from wikt:μακρός. I'll see if I can dig something up that actually says that.
• "A common name for the species is the North American medicinal..." > {{green|It is commonly known as the...}}
• Done

• make image a little bigger
• Is the "body" the whole length of the leech or not?
• "A jawed leech, Macrobdella decora..." > not a fan of this construction, just skip the A jawed leech, it is implicit
• "and found that it could not tolerate hypertonicity," || does this refer to overly salty or non-salty solutions?
• "The most widely distributed Macrobdella species, M. decora, is found i" > {{green|Being the most widely distributed Macrobdella species, M. decora is found in...}}
• Interactions with humans could be a new section> "Uses" or maybe "History"
• Conservation doesn't need a sub-sub section, just slap it in the distribution section.
• I would like maybe a couple more images if that were possible?
• This isn't a rule, but I think convention is to order Description above Taxonomy.
• For FA, all images need Alt text

That's all my comments for now. If you have time, I would appreciate a review of Flower, the PR is linked in my signature. Cheers, Dracophyllum, (1 PR) 07:27, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
