Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The 3D structure of vegetation is an important determinant of where predators make kills.

    “The 3D structure of vegetation is an important determinant of where predators make kills [16,17].”

    From Effects of Vegetation Structure on the Location of Lion Kill Sites in African Thicket (2016) · cites this paper as [16]

  • The 3D structure of vegetation, as viewed by predators and prey (their viewshed), has been found to be important in predator-prey relationships.

    “In particular, the 3D structure of vegetation, as viewed by predators and prey (their viewshed), has been found to be important in predator-prey relationships [16,17].”

    From Effects of Vegetation Structure on the Location of Lion Kill Sites in African Thicket (2016) · cites this paper as [16]

  • Although vegetation structure has previously been recognized as an important component of lion hunting success, it has been considered less influential relative to other environmental variables.

    “Although vegetation structure has previously been recognized as an important component of lion hunting success [16,19,36,37], it has been considered less influential relative to other environmental variables [23].”

    From Effects of Vegetation Structure on the Location of Lion Kill Sites in African Thicket (2016) · cites this paper as [16]

  • Because the study was not based on direct observations of lion hunting, we cannot definitively conclude that male lion kill sites were the result of males killing as opposed to scavenging from females.

    “Because our study was not based on direct observations of lion hunting, we cannot definitively conclude that our male lion kill sites were the result of males killing, as opposed to scavenging from females, although our results for male kill (carcass) sites do match results from elsewhere when the same methods were used [16].”

    From Effects of Vegetation Structure on the Location of Lion Kill Sites in African Thicket (2016) · cites this paper as [16]

  • Our findings for male lion kills are similar to savanna lions, but female reliance on vegetation structure is unusual.

    “Our findings for male lion kills are similar to savanna lions (although we might not be recording male lion hunting), but female reliance on vegetation structure is unusual [16].”

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.
