Abstract

W testach hodowlanych nad lisami określono współczynnik strawialności (stosunek ciężaru biomasy zjedzonej do ciężaru niestrawionych resztek w kale) dla różnych rodzajów pokarmu (Tabela 1 i 2). Wyodrębnienie z kału lisów szczątków zjedzonych ofiar i pomnożenie ciężaru niestrawionych resztek przez odpowiedni współczynnik strawialności daje ocenę zjedzonej biomasy.

  • In agricultural lands of western Poland, common voles constituted 93% of total biomass consumed by red foxes.

    “In agricultural lands of western Poland, common voles constituted 93% of the total biomass consumed by red foxes (Goszczyński 1974), but in central Poland, where densities of small rodents were lower, a compensatory response was found between similar proportions of small mammals, birds, and hares consumed (Goszczyński 1986).”

    From The effects of sex, age, season and habitat on diet of the red fox Vulpes vulpes in northeastern Poland (2011) · cites this paper as Goszczyński 1974

    Section 5.1 says common voles made up 93% of consumed rodents, not 93% of all food consumed. The Discussion reports that small rodents as a whole made up 65.1% of the fox diet. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.92)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Red fox feeds most frequently on small mammals, but utilizes other food items such as carrion, birds and other mammals when voles are scarce.

    “Red fox feeds most frequently on small mammals, but utilize also other food items such as carrion, birds and other mammals when voles are scarce (Goszczyński 1974; Papageorgiou et al. 1988; Jędrzejewski and Jędrzejewska 1992; Dell’Arte et al. 2007).”

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The red fox is a generalist predator, feeding mainly on prey which are abundant and easily accessible.

    “Numerous studies of the red fox diet show it to be a generalist predator, feeding mainly on prey which are abundant and easily accessible.”
  • Red fox is well adapted to prey on rodents.

    “Red fox is also well adapted to prey on rodents (Englund 1965; Goszczyński 1974).”

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.
