    Yes

    The review has summary but there also is a comparing and contrasting. All the articles have in common that Dry Eye symptoms can be reduced with the Mediterranean Diet alongside different solutions as well. Such as exercise or consuming other vitamins.
  • Does the introduction move from general to specific and include relevant history and key terms?
    What is the thesis? Is it the main point or finding of the lit review?

    yes, the introduction includes the symptoms of dry eyes as well as who is affected the most by it. There is not much history behind it which can be incorporated. The thesis states that the Mediterranean diet helps improve dry eyes symptoms. It is the main finding of the lit review.



  • Are there many grammar, spelling, or punctuation mistakes? Are “you” and “I” pronouns avoided? List a few examples.

    there are some grammatical mistakes such as “specially” and some other words that are misspelled. However, pronouns are avoided.

Name of Reviewer:

1. Is the title informative and specific?

Yes, The title is informative and specific.

2. Are section headings used effectively? Does the organization seem logical?

Yes the section heading used effectively like Hybridization Processes within Two Different Insect Species, Plants and Animals Undergoing Hybridization due to Climate Change and Development of Plants and Animals due to Climatic Changes. She does have one subheading like Differences in Methods. But I think abstractly. She should put the heading as abstract. The organization seem logical because it fit together.

3. Does the review synthesize the articles or is it just a summary? Give an example.

The review synthesized the articles by talking about different and similar in methods that the three articles have. For example in subheading Differences in Methods

​Plants are also organisms that are affected by climatic changes as much as animals are as well. They are living beings and any slight change in their environment may affect their wellbeing. Two Eucalyptus plants, E. risdonii and E. amygdalina, were grown separately using two different genome sequences for each plant (Pfeilsticker TR et. al, 2022). A different method had to be used in order to administer the effect an admixture of genetics would pose on the development on the Eucalyptus plant. Similarly, to the argus butterfly analysis, there were two subspecies of Eucalyptus used as subjects for the experiment in order to make a comparison. However, this experiment had to be conducted on a long-term span. 

4. Does the introduction move from general to specific and include relevant history and key terms? 

The introduction moved from general to specific but it did not  include relevant history and key terms .

What is the thesis? Is it the main point or finding of the lit review?

Current research indicates that climate change is the reason there have been crossovers in multiple species of organisms which in the long run reduce genetic diversity. Yes it is the main point or finding of the lit review.

5. Are there many grammar, spelling, or punctuation mistakes? Are “you” and “I” pronouns avoided? List a few examples.

There are not many grammar, spelling, or punctuation mistakes or “you” or “I”.
