Fish can navigate thousands of kilometres to reach the exact same site in which they were born (natal homing) or had previously spawned (repeated homing).
“Fish can navigate thousands of kilometres to reach the exact same site in which they were born (natal homing, Cury, 1994;Thorrold et al., 2001) or had previously spawned (repeated homing, Corten, 2002;Skjæraasen et al., 2011).”

The indexed Abstract (page unavailable) says herring return to the same spawning areas each year, supporting the repeated-homing part attributed to Corten. It does not establish journeys of thousands of kilometres or returns to the exact same site, rather than the same area. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredFish use geographic clues or environmental cues as a guiding compass to reach spawning locations year after year, but they may also learn spawning routes through social facilitation.
“Fish use these geographic clues or environmental cues as a guiding compass to reach spawning locations year after year, but they may also learn spawning routes through social facilitation (Cury, 1994;Corten, 2002).”
From Evolutionary and ecological constraints of fish spawning habitats (2015) · cites this paper as Corten, 2002
No passage from our copy addresses geographic or environmental cues guiding fish to spawning locations, or social learning of spawning routes. Searches for spawning grounds, environmental cues, social learning, and learned migration routes returned no relevant passage; the only returned text was bibliographic metadata listing “Learning” as a keyword. (LLM, conf=0.70)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredFish spawning in specific locales have been observed to repeat spawning there.
“Fish spawning in specific locales have been observed to repeat spawning there.”
From Evolutionary and ecological constraints of fish spawning habitats (2015) · cites this paper as Corten, 2002
Searches for spawning-site fidelity, spawning grounds, and returns to the same areas found no passage from the paper’s body. The only matching text was labeled Abstract, which cannot serve as evidence under this audit’s rules. (LLM, conf=0.70)

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.
