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 animals at the higher end of the weight range are undoubtedly overweight.

    “The animals at the higher end of the weight range are undoubtedly overweight (Flacke et al. 2015).”

    From Choeropsis liberiensis (Artiodactyla: Hippopotamidae) (2019) · cites this paper as Flacke et al. 2015

  • In captivity, C. liberiensis often becomes overweight.

    “In captivity, C. liberiensis often becomes overweight (Flacke et al. 2015).”

    From Choeropsis liberiensis (Artiodactyla: Hippopotamidae) (2019) · cites this paper as Flacke et al. 2015

  • Communal housing of C. liberiensis can lead to conspecific aggression resulting in injury and death, may contribute to abnormal behaviors including stereotypies, and is also believed to compromise normal maternal behavior in some circumstances.

    “Communal housing can lead to conspecific aggression resulting in injury and death, may contribute to abnormal behaviors including stereotypies, and is also believed to compromise normal maternal behavior in some circumstances (Flacke et al. 2015).”

  • Sex ratio varies among zoos, and thus husbandry factors associated with captivity are likely to play at least a partial role in the bias.

    “Sex ratio varies among zoos, and thus husbandry factors associated with captivity are likely to play at least a partial role in the bias (Zschokke 2002;Boonyarittichaikij 2010;Flacke et al. 2015).”

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.
