Abstract
"The dynamic nature of science and scientific progress has required a completely revised, updated and expanded version of this book, which remains the most wide-ranging and comprehensive dictionary for the study of natural history in its broadest sense. The revision - which now includes over 11000 entries - retains the style of the original: a working dictionary providing brief definitions for students, teachers, researchers and others having an interest within the broad arena of biodiversity studies." "The coverage cuts across classical disciplines such as botany, zoology, bacteriology, mineralogy, palaeontology and so forth, focusing particularly on concepts, strategies and methodologies."--BOOK JACKET.

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.
