The information in this article is not accurate. There are others animals with blastoderm, and not because this kind of segmentation. --Andreateletrabajo (talk) 06:45, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
I am considering developing this page further as part of an educational assignment in Fall of 2013. If someone else is also working on this, please send me a message and let me know soon, so we donʼt duplicate initial efforts in page developmentWildcator (talk) 20:27, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
This article could be improved first off by providing correct headings. Currently the headings are links to prehistoric organisms, which although did have blastoderms are not entirely relevent today. Instead a general overview of blastoderms and an indepth example of a species that is involved with the research of the blastoderm like drosphilia melanogaster such as in this article.

This topic is lacking in both sources and information. There is no information under the "In eutherians" headline. A references section should also be added. The of the blastoderm also needs to be cited. The information presented isn't thoroughly accurate either. A blastoderm is primary epithelium formed when the nuclei migrate to the periphery and undergo superficial cleavage; this occurs in early embryonic development of many arthropods[1]. There is also too much specification on one organism, birds, when blastoderms are active in other organisms as well. It would be better to also include other examples, and if preferred, refer to chicken eggs as the main example. Other possible topics of discussion should include the histology and morphology of blastoderm cells. Mbeez (talk) 03:27, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
