In the citing paper
“Multiple studies have found that coyotes avoid human development, while foxes avoid coyotes and tend to concentrate in areas that are highly developed (Cove et al., 2012; Moll et al., 2018; Wait et al., 2018).”

“multiple studies found that red foxes seek out highly developed areas when coyotes are present (Cove et al., 2012; Moll et al., 2018; Mueller et al., 2018).”

“Research in a variety of systems conducted on a diversity of taxa has demonstrated the remarkable ability of humans to profoundly alter fundamental ecological processes, from nutrient cycling to community species assemblage (Frid and Dill 2002; McKinney 2006; Ellis 2011; Dirzo et al. 2014; Forman 2016).”

“Temporal activity patterns are an important component of species’ niches (Schoener 1974) and the sympatry of competing carnivore guilds is often facilitated by segregation along this temporal niche axis (Frey et al. 2017).”

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.
