Evolution of Photoreceptors
Abstract
The value of speculation in science is largely a matter of opinion. I believe that it is useful, if only as a catalyst of research. Moreover, it is fun, and as you will observe I shall generously indulge myself here.

“(c) Cnidarian opsins and photoreceptors Cnidaria are the most basal phylum to possess eyes, and it has long been known that cnidarian photoreceptors are ciliated (Eakin & Westfall 1962; Yamasu & Yoshida 1976; Martin 2002). Very recently, it has been reported that photoreception in box jellyfish exhibits remarkable par…”

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.
