Ants that fell into pitfall traps were used as a proxy for pangolin prey abundance because ants dominated the pangolin diet and termites rarely fell into the traps.
“Because ants dominated the pangolin diet (Panaino et al., 2022) and termites rarely fell into the traps, only the ants that fell into the traps were counted and used as a proxy for pangolin prey abundance.”

Temminck's pangolins occur in the same environment as aardvarks and have a similar diet.
“Temminck’s pangolins occur in the same environment as aardvarks and have a similar diet (Weyer, 2018; Panaino et al., 2022), but their shallower foraging habits may make them vulnerable to fluctuations in food availability.”

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.
