Rarely there are three total mandibular incisors instead of the single pair in C. liberiensis.
“Rarely there are three total mandibular incisors instead of the single pair (Johnston 1906).”
From Choeropsis liberiensis (Artiodactyla: Hippopotamidae) (2019) · cites this paper as Johnston 1906
The available copy’s passages on Liberian fauna, including the discussion near p. 89, do not address the number of mandibular incisors in C. liberiensis. Searches for the species, pygmy hippopotamus, and incisors found no relevant passage; the copy is truncated, so the decisive description may be missing. (LLM, conf=0.73)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredProportionally, the brain case is larger and the muzzle is shorter in C. liberiensis than in the common hippopotamus.
“Proportionally, the brain case is larger and the muzzle is shorter in C. liberiensis than in the common hippopotamus (Fig. 2; Johnston 1906).”
From Choeropsis liberiensis (Artiodactyla: Hippopotamidae) (2019) · cites this paper as Johnston 1906
The passage near p. 89 discusses Liberian animals but does not compare the skulls of C. liberiensis and the common hippopotamus. Searches for the species name, brain case, muzzle, and skull comparison found no relevant passage in our copy, whose end may be missing. (LLM, conf=0.74)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredC. liberiensis has retained several features more adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle compared to the common hippopotamus, including proportionally longer limbs and only moderately webbed toes that spread more widely under its own weight.
“Choeropsis liberiensis has retained several features more adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle compared to the common hippopotamus, including proportionally longer limbs and only moderately webbed toes that spread more widely under its own weight (Johnston 1906 ;Pocock 1923;Fisher et al. 2007).”
From Choeropsis liberiensis (Artiodactyla: Hippopotamidae) (2019) · cites this paper as Johnston 1906
The available copy’s passages on Liberian fauna (Chapter II) do not describe Choeropsis liberiensis or compare its limbs and toes with those of the common hippopotamus. Searches for hippopotamus, webbed toes, and the claimed limb proportions found no relevant passage; the copy is truncated, so the relevant discussion may be missing. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
