Is this a school paper and are we supposed to correct it for you?
Sorry, in all seriousness...my first question to you is why a "review" and not an original study on the subject. Reminds me of my Uncle who is a Pysics professor at a college and his "work" was always a "review" or comparing and contrasting other peoples studys or experiments. Keep it original...it makes for much more interesting reading. Besides, someone with your "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" background has got to be able to find ways to spruce it up a bit. You lost me serveral times while reading your article. Although some science nerd my find it facinating you're missing out on the other 99% of the population. IMO

No. Term paper from a couple semesters ago. It is one of those things that I will eventually clean up and publish when I have a dry spell in data collection. Sometimes it is useful for someone to summarize current literature. Reviews serve as good general references to allow someone to get the broad overview of the subject material.

As for original work... I am currently collecting data, or rather, getting frog eggs sufficient to get the thousands of tadpoles I need to collect data. Next week I start collecting data on water snake foraging strategies. Once that is done, you guys get an original work
