Guilds: The Multiple Meanings of a Concept
Abstract
Root (161) defined a guild as "a group of species that exploit the same class of environmental resources in a similar way." With this intuitively appealing, seductively simple definition, he commenced the development of what has become a Gordian know of ecological thinking. Root saw the term as a way to group "together species without regard to taxonomic position, that overlap significantly in their niche requirements." He also felt that one advantage to the guild concept was that it "focuses attention on all sympatric species involved in a competitive interaction, regardless of their taxonomic relationship" (161, p. 335).

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.
