  • Stomach contents provide information on ingested prey, representing the animal's diet over the last few hours to days.

    “Stomach contents provided information on ingested prey, representing the animal's diet over the last few hours to days, while stable isotopes offered additional information on the trophic status of lionfish by providing a long-term integration of the diet over previous weeks to months (Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2003).”

    From Diet of invasive lionfish on hard bottom reefs of the Southeast USA: insights from stomach contents and stable isotopes (2011) · cites this paper as Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2003

    The paper’s introductory discussion (page not available in our copy) says stomach-content analysis identifies ingested prey and usually represents diet over the last few hours. It also says stable isotopes reflect diet over previous weeks to months. It does not support extending the stomach-content window to days. (LLM, conf=0.89)

  • Stable isotopes provide additional information on the trophic status of lionfish by providing a long-term integration of the diet over previous weeks to months.

    “Stomach contents provided information on ingested prey, representing the animal's diet over the last few hours to days, while stable isotopes offered additional information on the trophic status of lionfish by providing a long-term integration of the diet over previous weeks to months (Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2003).”

    From Diet of invasive lionfish on hard bottom reefs of the Southeast USA: insights from stomach contents and stable isotopes (2011) · cites this paper as Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2003

    The introductory discussion states that tissue stable isotopes reflect assimilated diet over the previous weeks to months and provide insight into trophic relationships. It says stomach contents usually represent the last few hours, not hours to days. The paper discusses reef fishes generally, not lionfish specifically. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The lack of relationship between fish size and δ15N values is in contrast to results from other studies examining marine benthic carnivorous fishes.

    “The lack of relationship between fish size and δ 15 N values is in contrast to results from other studies examining marine benthic carnivorous fishes”
  • Lionfish are generalist feeders.

    “supports the conclusion that lionfish are generalist feeders.”

    From Diet of invasive lionfish on hard bottom reefs of the Southeast USA: insights from stomach contents and stable isotopes (2011) · cites this paper as Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2003

    The Carnivorous fishes section discusses the diets of grunts and snappers, not lionfish. Searches for “lionfish,” “Pterois,” and generalist feeding found no passage in our copy addressing whether lionfish are generalist feeders. (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.
