ASSIMILATION OF ORGANIC MATTER BY ZOOPLANKTON1
Abstract
A method for direct measurement of percentage of assimilation of organic matter by zooplankton that does not require the quantitative recovery of feces and can be adapted for use in the field as well as in laboratory investigations is described. If it is assumed that only the organic fraction of the food ingested by a zooplankton animal is affected by the digestive process, it can be shown that percentage of utilization is defined as urn:x-wiley:00243590:media:lno19661130338:lno19661130338-math-0001 where F′ is the ash‐free dry weight: dry weight ratio (fraction of organic matter) in the ingested food, and E’ is the same ratio in a representative sample of feces. The method compares favorably, as a measure of assimilation, with direct measurement of the quantity of organic matter lost from food during passage through the digestive tract.

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.
