If I may suggest. I feel that as an encyclopedia we would be better served if the Carapace, and Plastron pages were combined into a single article on the turtle shell. With appropriate sections on Carapace and Plastron. These features of the turtle are heavily used in identification and morphological analysis of the members of this group, they are also the predominant remains for fossil species. Hence, having a page that defines all these features, discusses the evolutionary history of the shell and also looks at the differences among families etc would be of great benefit. This is a large amount of information as many greatly misunderstand the structure of this part of the turtle. Cheers Faendalimas talk 19:05, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Article currently [1] reads in part In arachnids, the carapace is formed by the fusion of prosomal tergites into a single plate which carries the eyes, ocularium, ozopores (a pair of openings of the scent gland of Opiliones) and diverse phaneres... (my emphasis).
What is a phanare? The citation is not available online as far as I can see. I tried to Wikilink the term, but we currently have no article phanare, nor is there an entry at wikt:phanare. A quick Google was no help at all (your results may vary).
New pages required, or at least an explanatory note for we non-specialists. Andrewa ( talk) 14:24, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
If the introduction of carapace into zoological vocabulary (in 1836, according to various dictionaries) was due to Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg, a brief remark to that effect would improve the article. Wetman ( talk) 20:40, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
Ants - do they have a carapace? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.67.241.149 ( talk) 13:25, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
I suggest Template:Expand German be removed.
The corresponding German article is much more detailed but it has no inline citations whatsoever, save on one particular point. Expanding the English article using material translated from the German article would either introduce a mass of original research or else involve reconstructing all the unreferenced research that has gone into the German article.
