ADAPTATION AND CONSTRAINT IN THE COMPLEX LIFE CYCLES OF ANIMALS
Abstract
Species distribution models (SDMs) are numerical tools that combine observations of species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates. They are used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights and to predict distributions across landscapes, ...Read More

The compartmentalized or modular nature of holometabolous life cycles is thought to have enabled insects to optimize life-history components, such as growth and reproduction, through temporal partitioning.
“Thus, the compartmentalized or 'modular' nature of holometabolous life cycles is thought to have enabled insects to optimize life-history components, such as growth and reproduction, through temporal partitioning (Moran, 1994).”

Complex life cycles composed of discrete developmental stages and associated shifts in ecology are the norm.
“A focus on the adult stage and the neglect of others is undermined by knowledge that most animal species undergo some form of metamorphosis (Werner, 1988), and that complex life cycles composed of discrete developmental stages - and associated shifts in ecology - are the norm (Moran, 1994).”

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.
