Good vision is important for all penguin species as they are visual predators that rely on vision to find and catch prey underwater and avoid predators.
“Good vision is important for all penguin species as they are visual predators that rely on their vision to find and catch prey underwater and avoid predators [16,17,18,19,20,21].”
From Effect of Covering a Visitor Viewing Area Window on the Behaviour of Zoo-Housed Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) (2020) · cites this paper as [21]
The Introduction (pp. 165–166) describes a Little Penguin chick’s defensive behaviour, and the conclusion (p. 166) attributes its death to a Water Rat. Neither passage addresses penguin vision, underwater prey capture, or visual predator avoidance; searches for vision and eyesight found no passage that does. (LLM, conf=0.78)

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.
