Seasonal Fluctuations in Rainfall, Food and Abundance of Tropical Insects
Abstract
SUMMARY (1) Light trap data, covering over 3 years, are discussed for some groups of insects in the lowland tropical monsoon forest on Barro Colorado Island. The groups concerned are Homoptera, Tettigoniidae and Mantidae. (2) The data are compared with information on rainfall and leaf production. It is shown that, especially for those groups of Homoptera that have nymphs feeding on the foliage, there is a good relation between leaf production and the demography of the species concerned.

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.
