Assembly Rules, Null Models, and Trait Dispersion: New Questions from Old Patterns
Abstract
... the same environments are repeated in the same region, their selective action upon the plant immigrants leads to an essentially similar flora in each, and a similar flora produces similar reactions. These conditions produce the well known phenomena of plant associations of recognizable extent and their repetition with great fidelity in many areas of the same region, but they also produce the variable vegetation of our sand dunes and small pools, the fragmentary associations of areas of small size, and the broad transition zones where different types of vegetation are mixed. H. A. Gleason (1926)

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.
