Contact with visitors may be threatening for little penguins, as reduced preening in the water suggests, since preening is a comfort behaviour more likely to occur when animals are not threatened.
“The reduced preening in the water also suggests that contact with visitors may be threatening for little penguins since preening behaviour is a comfort behaviour that is more likely to occur when animals are not threatened [47,48,49,50].”
From Effect of Covering a Visitor Viewing Area Window on the Behaviour of Zoo-Housed Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) (2020) · cites this paper as [47]
The Abstract identifies preening as a comfort behaviour associated with relaxation and anticipation of a positive event in domestic fowl. It does not examine little penguins, visitors, or preening in water, so it does not establish that reduced preening indicates visitors are threatening to penguins. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredComfort behaviours such as preening are generally more likely to occur when the animal is not threatened.
“Presumably, comfort behaviours such as preening are generally more likely to occur when the animal is not threatened [19,48,49,50].”
From Effects of Regulating Visitor Viewing Proximity and the Intensity of Visitor Behaviour on Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) Behaviour and Welfare (2019) · cites this paper as [50]
The Abstract reports that laying hens showed more comfort behaviours, including preening, while anticipating a positive event, and associates those behaviours with relaxation. This supports the proposed link, but the paper’s reported finding concerns hens anticipating conditioned events, not animals generally whenever they are not threatened. (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
