“Overall, microtus voles appear to be the main prey group of foxes in Europe (Goldyn et al., 2003; Dell'Arte et al., 2007; Pagh et al., 2015; Panek and Budny, 2017; Lanszki et al., 2023).”

“Red fox feeds most frequently on small mammals, but utilize also other food items such as carrion, birds and other mammals when voles are scarce (Goszczyński 1974; Papageorgiou et al. 1988; Jędrzejewski and Jędrzejewska 1992; Dell’Arte et al. 2007).”

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.
