Nice work - interesting topic! The only major change I'd make is to the opening paragraph. Wikipedia articles are supposed to have lead sections that summarise the content of the article body. Right now, you mention that the hypothesis was proposed by Peter Ward and Amotz Zahavi in the lead, but you don't repeat this in the body. It's a small thing, but it might be helpful pretend that the article could be read without the lead, and make sure that everything important is ''also'' in the body.

Welcome to Wikipedia, Js7581! Thank you for your contributions. I am Iryna Harpy and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Hello @Iryna Harpy: and thank you again for the warm welcome! I appreciate your offer of assistance and I will likely be contacting you as I work towards editing stub articles related to Animal Behaviour over the next semester. Cheers. Js7581 (talk) 01:02, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. If you feel confident about changes to content, be WP:BOLD in making them. If you want to consult/converse on particular articles/stubs, you can WP:PING me directly from the talk page of the relevant article. You'll soon get a sense of whether other editors are still actively maintaining articles, or whether they've been left floating in cyberspace and are in need of some TLC. I can't recall any significant activity on behavioural sciences articles for a while, so renewed interest is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to lending a hand once you're on track for time. Happy New Year! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 18:58, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
