Most secondarily flightless species in the survey still retain functionally asymmetric primaries.
“Congruent with the findings of several previous studies [30,31,34], most secondarily flightless species in our survey still retain functionally asymmetric primaries.”

“In the islands of the tropical Pacific, Steadman (1995) suggested that prehistoric anthropogenic bird extinctions (primarily rails) may have exceeded 2,000 species (possibly an over-estimate; Livezey, 2003), which, at that time, Steadman considered to be 20% of global bird diversity, although now around 15%.”

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.
