The zoo industry has demonstrated significant intensification of zoo-based welfare science.
“In recent years, the zoo industry has demonstrated significant intensification of zoo-based welfare science, with research being published on a wide range of topics [9,11].”
From The visitor effect on zoo animals: implications and opportunities for zoo animal welfare (2019) · cites this paper as [9]
The Introduction (page not provided) describes seven welfare papers covering varied species and situations, supporting the breadth of research topics. It does not establish that zoo-based welfare science has intensified significantly in recent years across the zoo industry; the authors instead express hope for a research renaissance.

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.
