clarity of word choice; "comrpise" has two conflicting definitions and is less commonly used in this way in biological literature (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/comprise)
- RhinolophoideaEdited 2/24/2026, 9:51:28 PM
better wording that more accurately reflects the literature; e.g. "Yangochiroptera includes 12 microbat families, whereas Yinpterochiroptera comprises four microbat families in Rhinolophoidea plus Old World fruit bats" from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982213012001?via%3Dihub

better wording that aligns with the literature, adding source for verification
- Fungus gnatEdited 2/24/2026, 9:42:33 PM
updating word choice to accurately reflect the literature; e.g., "Fungus gnats constitute a rich assemblage of nematocerous flies, traditionally placed in the superfamily Sciaroidea (e.g. Blagoderov & Grimaldi 2004)." (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236963132_Annotated_checklist_of_fungus_gnats_from_Sweden_Diptera_Bolitophilidae_Diadocidiidae_Ditomyiidae_Keroplatidae_and_Mycetophilidae)
- EcdeiocoleaceaeEdited 2/24/2026, 9:38:40 PM
updating word choice to reflect literature: e.g., https://doi.org/10.3732/ajb.92.9.143 "Ecdeiocoleaceae consist of two monotypic genera, Ecdeiocolea monostachya F. Muell. and Georgeantha hexandra B. G. Briggs & L. A. S. Johnson..." "We investigated the reproductive structures of the putative sister group of grasses, the southwestern Australian family Ecdeiocoleaceae...""
- StrelitziaceaeEdited 2/24/2026, 9:26:31 PM
correction to wording to be more consistent with literature, e.g., https://www.britannica.com/plant/Strelitziaceae states "Strelitziaceae, family of flowering plants in the ginger order (Zingiberales), comprising three genera and seven species in tropical to subtropical regions."
