Large herbivores are particularly at risk from climate change.
“Large herbivores are particularly at risk36.”
From Chromosomal-level reference genome assembly of muskox (Ovibos moschatus) from Banks Island in the Canadian Arctic, a resource for conservation genomics (2024) · cites this paper as [36]
The Discussion (page unavailable) says declines and extinctions disproportionately affect large herbivores, supporting the printed sentence’s statement that they are particularly at risk. The claim’s added qualification, “from climate change,” is not established: the Results examine climate change among several threats but do not identify it as the particular reason large herbivores are at risk. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe muskox (Ovibos moschatus) is under threat by rapid environmental disruptions from climate change.
“The muskox (Ovibos moschatus), an integral component and iconic symbol of arctic biocultural diversity, is under threat by rapid environmental disruptions from climate change.”
From Chromosomal-level reference genome assembly of muskox (Ovibos moschatus) from Banks Island in the Canadian Arctic, a resource for conservation genomics (2024) · cites this paper as [36]
The Introduction (page unavailable) says climate change is expected to exacerbate vertebrate declines, and the Discussion (page unavailable) reports disproportionate declines among large herbivores. Neither passage identifies muskoxen or establishes that climate-driven environmental disruption threatens this species specifically. (LLM, conf=0.82)

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.
