The Community Structure of Coral Reef Fishes
Abstract
Observations of the community of chaetodontid fishes at the northern end of the Great Barrier Reefs are consistent with the hypothesis that it is structured in ways similar to terrestrial vertebrate communities. Our data do not support the need for alternative hypotheses centered on larval habitat preferences and stochastic recruitment. Broad geographic patterns of chaetodontids in the Pacific are similar to those seen in terrestrial vertebrates.

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.
