Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Attachment to a specific spawning site is only expressed at the time of spawning, while there is more plasticity and opportunistic behaviour in the choice of other important habitats, such as feeding grounds and, for some species, the juvenile nursery habitat.

    “Yet, this remarkable attachment to a specific site is only expressed at the time of spawning, while there seems to be more plasticity and opportunistic behaviour when it comes to the choice of other important habitats, such as feeding grounds and, for some species, the juvenile nursery habitat (Petitgas et al., 2012).”

  • Single populations of Atlantic herring have limited plasticity because they have demersal eggs and are dependent on landscape and vegetation for the survival of the eggs.

    “For example, single populations of Atlantic herring have limited plasticity because they have demersal eggs and are dependent on landscape and vegetation for the survival of the eggs (Figure 5, Petitgas et al., 2012).”

    From Evolutionary and ecological constraints of fish spawning habitats (2015) · cites this paper as Petitgas et al., 2012

    The Discussion (page unavailable) mentions Atlantic herring populations as examples of persistent, self-recruiting populations, but does not assess their plasticity or explain egg survival. Searches for demersal eggs, vegetation, spawning substrate, and herring plasticity found no passage addressing the claimed dependence on landscape and vegetation. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
