Influence of Carcass Taxon and Size on Species Composition of Carrion-breeding Diptera
Abstract
A variety of dead animals, ranging in size from small rodents to dead arthropods, were exposed to colonization by carrion-breeding flies to determine how Diptera use alternative carcass types. There is a distinct difference between the dipteran communities reared from different kinds of carrion. Small mammal carrion is dominated by two species that breed in different seasons, while dead snails, arthropods, salamanders, frogs, toads and snakes are used by many species that show weaker seasonal preferences. The species do not breed in the different carcass types indiscriminately; some have distinct preferences for certain kinds of carrion. Others reared from nonmammal carrion are opportunistic users of a wide variety of organic substances. The unpredictability of small nonmammal carcasses may explain their use by generalist species.

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.
