 * 1) Was a nice read. Could use more content. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 10:50, 25 September 42015 AQD (UTC)
 * 2) Ecological niches are actually something worth covering. They are one of the specific drivers of evolutionary change, as when the same species splits to different niches (as was the case with the one kind of finches that blew to the galapagos islands) they begin their beak size selection and eventually ended up with as different species. This was quite literally because they mated within their niches - branching out as the galapagos finches. So, important, though stub and could easily be moved to an article on ecology, on evolution, etc. It doesn't need to be stand-alone afaik. Could easily just be a redirect with the text merged to the proper main article. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 11:29, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) Articles discussing basic concepts of evolutionary biology are missional, especially if our mission includes preserving and curating material from EvoWiki. - Smerdis of Tlön, LOAD "*", 8, 1. 03:33, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Expand it a bit, but otherwise ok. --Castaigne (talk) 16:55, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
