In the citing paper
“A handful of studies have also shown a reduced effective number of men compared to that of women, based on coalescent methods [23],[24], but none have considered the influence of social organization on this dissimilarity”

In the citing paper
“However, the differences in sex-specific generation times that have been reported (e.g., 28 years for the matrilines and 31 years for the patrilines in Iceland [33], 29 years for the matrilines and 35 years for the patrilines in Quebec [36]) are unlikely to explain the observed differences in male and female effective numbers [24].”

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.
