748:), that particular use is probably the third. "Protandry" is, I think, most commonly used in ecology, and also used commonly in botany in cases that do not involve sequential hermaphroditism (to quote the article: "Sequential hermaphroditism in plants is very rare"). It is likewise a very small portion of the world's animal fauna that are sequential hermaphrodites, nearly all of them being fish, and I can't imagine why that rare phenomenon would be the ONLY use of the terms protandry and protogyny that are discussed in Knowledge, except that people have written so many articles about fish, and nearly every fish that exhibits sequential hermaphroditism has protandry linked. What is especially odd is that other editors working on articles discussing ecology and botany do appear to use these terms and wikilink them, but they are all getting unknowingly redirected to an article that has 758:). This is a serious problem, in my opinion, but I'm not sure how best to address it. Should there be a single article that discusses, in sections of that article, the four most common definitions, or should it be a disambiguation page that points to separate articles related to each definition? Offhand, given how many hundreds or thousands of links exist presently, the latter approach is not practical, because a link to "protandry" won't automatically point to the disambiguation article. Thoughts? 194: 253: 341: 163: 243: 225: 520:
If the citation is no longer reliable, then the article needs to be updated, which could be as minor as the removal/replacement of the citation with a reliable one, to rewriting an entire section that was based on flawed premises. If the citation to a retracted paper was intentional, like in the
