• is an extinct species of rodent – I would add "recently", and link directly to List of recently extinct mammals.

  Done. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:47, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

• please link family, subfamily, endemic, anthropogenic climate change

  Done the last two in the lead, the first two elsewhere. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:47, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

• maybe worth adding "Australia" to the lead (or is the island part of Papua New Guinea)?

• and Joseph Jukes collected a holotype. – Holotypes are important for extinct animals. I would add where the holotype is stored now (British Museum of Natural History).

• The first paragraph of the "Distribution and ecology" does not fit under this section. To be consistent with other biology articles, I would have it under "Taxonomy" as the first section of the article.

• 11 species of plants have been recorded on the islands; – more than one island? Why plural?

  That's a typo, fixed. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:47, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

• the common ones included – why past tense now? Before, the vegetation was described in present tense.

  Fixed. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:47, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

• That is all! Very good, highly interesting, yet sad article. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 12:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

  @Jens Lallensack: I think that's everything. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:47, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
