Microscopic Analysis of Faeces, a Technique for Ascertaining the Diet of Herbivorous , Mammals
Open accessAbstract
A technique is described that is being used in diet studies in kangaroos and wallabies. It is based on the identification of the epidermis of leaves and stems of plants recovered in faeces. Data obtained with it are qualitative and quantitative because (1) there is little or no digestion of epidermis that is encased in cutin, (2) epi. dermis is usually identifiable to species under low·power miscroscope, and (3) there is a determinable relation in each species of plant between the surface area and dry weight of its ~oliage.

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.
