'''''Eunectes''''' is a [[genus]] of non-venomous [[Boinae|boa]]s found in tropical [[South America]], commonly called '''anacondas'''.
*The article looks good. The one thing I'd expand on a bit is more of a description of the plant: how does it differ from other ''Amaranthus'' species? Probably a bit of "like other Amaranths, it blah blah blah" too. Does it reproduce vegetatively or by seed (if known)? If there's anything else such as medicinal uses or ornamental uses or anything, they'd go here too (although I suppose that's unlikely for a plant with such a small range).

An aquatic group of snakes inhabiting swamps and rivers, its members include some of the largest snakes in the world. Despite this, little was known about them until recently. The name ''Eunectes'' is derived from the Greek word Eυνήκτης, which means "good swimmer." Three [[species]] are currently recognized.<ref name="ITIS">{{ITIS|ID=209577|taxon=''Eunectes''|year=2008|date=18 July}}</ref>

:**This information is in (C&C 1931:27). Formatting... [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 14:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
'''Ruhrfisch comments''': Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.
*The lead should be expanded per [[WP:LEAD]] to at least two paragraphs. My rule of thumb is to include every header in the lead in some way.
**Saving this for after the expansion, in other words, for last. [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 14:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
*I owuld try to be more specific (use a date) than "more recently" in ''More recently, the invasive Schistocerca nitens, a nonnative grasshopper, has presented an even larger threat to A. brownii.'' In five years it will not be as recent.
**Done, but the prose is too choppy. I will attempt to iron it out in the coming days. [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 14:04, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
*This needs a ref: ''The plant is sometimes referred to as Brown's Amaranth, Brown's Pigweed, or Browns Amaranth, although it is unclear which, if any, common name is in use.'' Also the whole Nomenclature section is only two sentences - could it be combined with another section? "Nomenclature and morphology" perhaps?
**Partly done. USDA and UH botany dept. cited. I've deleted the latter part. I'll see what I can do about expanding or merging the section. [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 05:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
*Any chance of adding a map so the location of the island is clearer?
**Two maps added; one of the NWHI showing Nihoa in the southeast, and a map of Nihoa showing the two areas where the plant colonies are found. [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 14:31, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

===Amaranthaceae===
==Reproduction==
As all snakes do, green anacondas sexually reproduce meaning they have internal fertilization. Such a courtship, in many cases, lasts over a time period of several months. This mating period usually lasts from April to May. The female is typically assumed to lay down a trail of pheromone, which unconditionally attracts the male anaconda toward her. If that does not occur another possibility might be that the female herself releases a type of an air-born chemical indication. Such a signal is also emitted to attract the male toward her. This process is thoroughly supported by the simple observation of the mating female noticably immobie, yet multiple males gather and retreat toward her from all directions. The male anacondas also frequently ''lick'' the air in order to fully recognize chemical signals signaling the presence of the female.
*See also:[[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Plants#Conservation_status_update]]


Although it does not appear that it is necessary for there to be more than one male, quite frequently the snakes tend to grouping in a breeding ball. This ''breeding ball'' could potentially consist of up to twelve males wrapped around one female snake. The group could stay in this position from two to four weeks. This ball seems to be a type of a slow-motion wrestling match between the males; each one fighting for the right to mate with the female. The strongest and largest, of couse, often becomes victorious. However, the female anaconda, naturally physically much larger and stronger, may herself choose or deflect certain males. Courtship and copulation frequently take place in water. The gestation period for the green anaconda is about 6 months. A gravid female may feed during this period. However, males kept together during breeding season may refuse food.

The male uses its spurs to stimulate the female during mating. The male presses his cloacal region against the female while scratching her with his spurs. This makes a scratching sound. The end of the courtship comes when the stimulus of the males' spurs induces the female to raise her cloacal region, allowing the two cloacas to come together. The male wraps his tail around the female while they copulate.

This species is viviparous, giving birth to live young. A female anaconda can give birth to as many as a hundred young, though typically the size of the litter ranges from 20 to 40. The female may lose up to half of her pre-birthing weight after birth. The neonates are usually around 70-80 cm long at birth. Because of their small size they often fall prey to other animals. They grow rapidly until they reach sexual maturity in their first few years, after which their rate of growth continues at a slower pace.<ref>{{cite news | first=Adil | last=Soomro | coauthors= | title=Eunectes murinus | year=2001 | publisher=Animal Diversity Web | url =http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Eunectes_murinus.html | work =The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology | pages = | accessdate = 2008-10-10 | language = }}</ref>

Eunectes is a genus of non-venomous boas found in tropical South America, commonly called anacondas. An aquatic group of snakes inhabiting swamps and rivers, its members include some of the largest snakes in the world. Despite this, little was known about them until recently. The name Eunectes is derived from the Greek word Eυνήκτης, which means "good swimmer." Three species are currently recognized.[2]




Reproduction

As all snakes do, green anacondas sexually reproduce meaning they have internal fertilization. Such a courtship, in many cases, lasts over a time period of several months. This mating period usually lasts from April to May. The female is typically assumed to lay down a trail of pheromone, which unconditionally attracts the male anaconda toward her. If that does not occur another possibility might be that the female herself releases a type of an air-born chemical indication. Such a signal is also emitted to attract the male toward her. This process is thoroughly supported by the simple observation of the mating female noticably immobie, yet multiple males gather and retreat toward her from all directions. The male anacondas also frequently lick the air in order to fully recognize chemical signals signaling the presence of the female.

Although it does not appear that it is necessary for there to be more than one male, quite frequently the snakes tend to grouping in a breeding ball. This breeding ball could potentially consist of up to twelve males wrapped around one female snake. The group could stay in this position from two to four weeks. This ball seems to be a type of a slow-motion wrestling match between the males; each one fighting for the right to mate with the female. The strongest and largest, of couse, often becomes victorious. However, the female anaconda, naturally physically much larger and stronger, may herself choose or deflect certain males. Courtship and copulation frequently take place in water. The gestation period for the green anaconda is about 6 months. A gravid female may feed during this period. However, males kept together during breeding season may refuse food.

The male uses its spurs to stimulate the female during mating. The male presses his cloacal region against the female while scratching her with his spurs. This makes a scratching sound. The end of the courtship comes when the stimulus of the males' spurs induces the female to raise her cloacal region, allowing the two cloacas to come together. The male wraps his tail around the female while they copulate.

This species is viviparous, giving birth to live young. A female anaconda can give birth to as many as a hundred young, though typically the size of the litter ranges from 20 to 40. The female may lose up to half of her pre-birthing weight after birth. The neonates are usually around 70-80 cm long at birth. Because of their small size they often fall prey to other animals. They grow rapidly until they reach sexual maturity in their first few years, after which their rate of growth continues at a slower pace.[3]
