Invasive Spices: Why are you adding
Orcid IDs to citations? It polutes the meta data. You are also hyping the authors. Focus on the conclusions of the study, not who wrote it. Thanks.

That's pretty funny coming from someone who removes and damages as much author data as you can. As for hyping the authors, I normally don't and would agree that is inappropriate, however I do so if working from a rev and the rev thinks that paper is so singular as to be worth promoting. (Also I don't see any such on this article. But I've done that elsewhere.)

Again, I am trying to have a serious discussion, and you refuse to directly respond. Why does every single author deserve an external link to their other publications?

Abbriviations
In image of head, what go SCN, RHT, MCRGC denote? Use hormonal, not humoral, reminiscent of Ancient Greek 5 humors.

To add to article
Basic information to add to this article: the etymology of the word "melatonin." According to Wiktionary, it is a blend of
melanin +
serotonin. If that's true, why not add this information to this article, in order to help make it properly encyclopedic?

Useful suggestion, and done.

On skin lightening in frogs
The head says that the hormone elicits skin lightening in the common frog, with a wikilink to
skin whitening, where it is described as "the practice of using chemical substances in an attempt to lighten the skin or provide an even skin color by reducing the melanin concentration in the skin." That specific human practice doesn't seem to be a relevant link unless I'm missing something. Understandable mistake, but remove?

I was reading this too and thinking was this someone's idea of having a wind-up? (joke). How do they make the jump from the 'brain of cows' to 'lightening skins of frogs'? Was it a lab experiment? Did a cow trip and fall on a frog and the brain splat out and made the frog lighter. So many questions with that statement that seem questionable and more like April 1. (???)

Source of melatonin not stated
this article does not state the source of melatonin used in either Rx or OTC products. If it has a synthetic source that should be under scrutiny because in the past impurities from synthetic tryptophan had caused abnormal blood cell production. Both melatonin and tryptophan have in common an indole ring .
