LiveScience source is a bit questionable - given what it's being used to cite it's fine, but I have seen some questionable pseudo-science content on there. You might be able to use the original Bond paper for that citation since it gives the species names and who they're named
496:, I'm all finished. This is another great article, only a few issues to be addressed. I have some comments about some of the prose, and the lead needs a bit more in it. Let me know once you've had a chance to take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! 1330:

This could be rewritten so the connection is clearer - or separated to two sentences if they're not. 1238: 323: 994:" A. barackobamai was one of 33 new species of the genus Aptostichus described in Bond's paper, and many of the other members of the Aptostichus genus are named after famous individuals." 392: 183: 1282: 568: 612: 425: 913:
Lead should include a brief description of what it looks like, maybe add a bit more about the behavior or breeding, and something about their habitat/microhabitat.

Qpq is good. Article checks out in, both in eligibility and general quality (in terms of neutrality, sourcing, prose, etc.) Source checks out as well.
