In the citing paper
“After lionfish invaded a mesophotic reef, Lesser and Slattery (2011) reported a shift from coral and sponge communities to algal dominated communities.”
From Reproductive biology of invasive lionfish (Pterois spp.) (2015) · cites this paper as Lesser and Slattery, 2011
In the citing paper
“Increased predation on herbivorous fish was implicated as the cause of the shift because it was not associated with bleaching, fishing, storms and disease (Lesser and Slattery, 2011).”

“In the Caribbean, Lesser and Slattery [53] report a shift at 46–91 m from predominately coral and sponge-dominated to algaedominated reefs, after the invasion of the predatory, Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois voltans) reduced local herbivorous reef fish populations.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
