Emerging fungal threats to animal, plant and ecosystem health
Open accessAbstract
The past two decades have seen an increasing number of virulent infectious diseases in natural populations and managed landscapes. In both animals and plants, an unprecedented number of fungal and fungal-like diseases have recently caused some of the most severe die-offs and extinctions ever witnessed in wild species, and are jeopardizing food security. Human activity is intensifying fungal disease dispersal by modifying natural environments and thus creating new opportunities for evolution. We argue that nascent fungal infections will cause increasing attrition of biodiversity, with wider implications for human and ecosystem health, unless steps are taken to tighten biosecurity worldwide.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Microbes including animal and plant pathogens are arguably the most poorly documented of all IAS.”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Alien species are also a significant source of ‘pathogen pollution’ (the human‐mediated introduction of pathogens to new hosts or regions; Fisher et al., 2012; Roy et al., 2017).”

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.
