Anolis populations in other tropical forests have declined in parallel with anoles at Luquillo.
“Long-term abundance data taken by Pounds et al. (63), Whitfield et al. (4), and Stapley et al. (20) indicate that Anolis populations in other tropical forests have declined in parallel with anoles at Luquillo.”

Most research has focused on the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which has precipitated mass-mortality events and catastrophic reductions in over 200 frog species world-wide.

At Monteverde, Costa Rica, Anolis tropidolepis and Anolis altae populations were diminishing by 4.4% and 3.1% per year, respectively, for 11 and 13 y before both species became locally extinct.

This hypothesis also provides a parsimonious explanation for why similar cross-taxa, concordant decreases in reptiles, anurans, and birds have occurred in Costa Rican rainforests and are likely occurring across a broad range of tropical ecosystems.
“This hypothesis also provides a parsimonious explanation for why similar cross-taxa, concordant decreases in reptiles, anurans, and birds have occurred in Costa Rican rainforests (3, 63), and are likely occurring across a broad range of tropical ecosystems.”

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.
