In elephant populations, not every animal enters into conflict with humans; there are often 'problem individuals' that regularly engage in negative interactions with humans while a large majority may stay inside a protected area and avoid human contact.
“not every animal in a given elephant population enters into conflict with humans. Instead, there are often 'problem individuals' (Barrett et al., 2019; Hoare, 2001) that regularly engage in negative interactions with humans while a large majority of elephants within a particular population may stay inside a protected area and avoid human contact (Plotnik & Jacobson, 2022).”

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.
